El Sapo and RiskyFlush 1v1 Film War

LOL at the audience believing Vince missed that side rebound on anything but purpose

Newman making every shot though. Putting on a masterclass.

Cat brought in a rabbit.

Such a great scene. “Let’s clean it up.”

I don’t think we lose anything by not seeing the game, but I do hate the last line/

Not even watching, but still remember:
"I didn’t deserve that. Yes, you did. "

And whoever won isn’t the point of the movie. Ebert says there isn’t really an arc, but yes there is. Yes there is. Eddie starts the movie as a washed up player with no excitement left beyond a bottle. He ends it with a fire to play again. The story has no purpose beyond that final line.

“Hey, I’m back.”

Eddie tries to get back in the game as Georgie C Scott, but ends up regaining the love of his youth, playing great pool, not hustling.

That’s a good point. He spends the whole movie hustling, but at the end, he says he doesn’t care if he loses this time or next. He’s back in it for the game.

It’s why TCOM should be preceded by The Hustler. Eddie only makes sense if you knew who he was. How Fats, Eddie, and Vince (all great talents) were corrupted.

Well, it’s time for the vote.

My fourth favorite film is No Country for Old Men, which we held a watch party for earlier in the week.

…ahem.

So here we go.

You’re right. We should watch it again next year and do that as a double feature.

Just realized I think Trump is having a town hall right now. Well I hope if people get fed up following along on Unstuck that they come watch this perfect sports movie.

Jerry O’Connell all growed up
