    Some truth to that. After that time, a lot of sentiment that "anyone can do it (beat the game of poker)."

    Would love to hear if Knish was based on a real-life guy. IE, the long-term grinder/winning player.

    They should remake "The Cooler" starring jjgold as Bernie Lootz


    Truly down on his luck, lonely single guy Bernie Lootz (William H. Macy) works at a Las Vegas casino, where he uses his innate ability to bring about misfortune in those around him to jinx gamblers into losing
    I'd pay to see that. JJGold needs to go mainstream.

    It was the exact same movie as the other 3 - especially the 3rd one. I mean, it is seriously like they did a remake instead of a continuation.

    I'm all for it. Would need good writers/director so it's not corny.

    What poker needs is a good hbo show to build hype and get marks to the tables. Everyone knows what they're doing for the most part anymore. That's why I find it boring as fukk.

    the solution is simple


    rounders 2 with women and poker skyrockets again.

    I was watching CNBC and hellmuth was on there stating the stats of male/female ratio of last WSOP. There is hole to fill, need to catch that feminists who thinks she is strong and independent then get her to play poker.

    Some hack group owns the rights to Rounders and for sure they would not be able to afford Matt Damon and Ed Norton. Without them, no movie.

    Daily Vlogging & live cash streams much better than a remake IMO. Good content out there for the true card player

    Hard to repeat the original.. I just watched Rounders last night.. Decent gambling movie.. Sequel if made won't measure up to the first one I'm sure..

    https://www.pokernews.com/muck/edwar...-letterman.htm

    Unfortunately there has been little movement in 2014, though Edward Norton, who played the infamous "Worm" in Rounders, talked about a possible sequel on the Nov. 20 episode of the David Letterman Show.
    One of the first things Letterman talks about is Norton’s memorable performance in Rounders, and that he heard a rumor a sequel could be in the pipeline.
    “I don’t know how you make a second Rounders, is there a possibility of it?” Letterman asked.
    Norton replied with the following:
    “I think there is a possibility of it. Yeah, we couldn’t have had more fun making that movie. That was one of the best gangs of people ever."

    You missed nothing. Very robotic performance. It was nice to see the Riviera get fukked up though.

    The current darling of Hollywood's feminist propaganda Jessica Chastain. Be sure to check out her other film this year, "Woman Walks Ahead"

    Chastain is a feminist, and has often spoken against the discrimination faced by women and minorities in Hollywood.[8][136][137] She wrote an opinion column on gender imbalance in the industry for a December 2015 issue of The Hollywood Reporter.[138] Among other issues, she is vocal in her support for equal pay in the workplace: "I think people know, if they’re going to hire me I’m not going to just be grateful. There have been situations where I have lost movies because I’ve said, this is not a fair deal, and I’ve walked away."[8] ...and in 2016, she became an advisory board member to the organization We Do It Together, which produces films and television shows to promote the empowerment of women.

    I know you've got you're head on straight Kermit and I'm not judging you at all, I just can't take much from Hollywood anymore

    I don't really care who the actress is, I found this incident from a few years ago pretty interesting. I was kind of surprised they made a movie about it. I think Molly Bloom got off with just probation for running that multi-million dollar underground poker ring.

    I know you don't and I know you aren't gullible enough to be influenced by Hollywood, I'm just saying the feminist narrative will be predictably beat to death in this movie and I personally don't want to support it even though I love poker. Mark my words the smartest most capable characters in the film will be Chastain and that black guy Elba just as sure as the credits will include some -berg and -stein names.

    You guys can say "Rounders sucked."

    If Rounders2 is released, I know I'll be hard as a rock and at the theatre on opening weekend.
