For what it's worth. My wife and Richie played three sessions she won like $2500. when we were in LV. I had known Richie since the 70s. I always liked him. There is actually some videos on him on youtube regarding craps.

When you said spin the ball Richie I thought you were referring to something else. I played him a number of times and I remember he would push out the real tough cuts. You let him shoot and damn if he wouldn't cut/spin the ball in.

Looking at the characters sitting around, I have a feeling they gamble at this game.

I think it does act like air hockey the way the pieces move. It seems they are floating on air.

No idea how this popped up on my youtube. What are they playing?

Yes Harewood was in a movie with Gabe Kaplan where he played a pool player and did look like he could play.

He's in one of the montages of players shooting during a tournament match. He's right fully in the camera so it's not any doubt as if it's him or not. I'll go back and look and see exactly where it is it lasts like all of 2 seconds. I looked it up. it is at 1:15:30 Start watching at 1hour 15...

I did spot Bob Byrne in one scene. Who was the tech. director on that movie? Were you involved? Btw, I am assuming you mean Kiss Shot

You convinced me, I'll watch the rest. There has been some forgotten pool movies. "Kiss Shot" with Whoopi Goldberg for one. 72 percent on rt.

I only made it through about 15 minutes of this movie. It looked like it was approaching "Plan nine from outer space" quality. I'll have to watch a little more of it later.

I think it's entirely possible too although 20,000 years would be too recent there'd be plenty of evidence. Probably more like a billion years ago where the entire civilization has been erased. That probably actually is the history of the universe. Trillions of civilizations have come and gone...

There a saying. " Things happen slowly, then all at once". After thousands of years, it may all be ended in just a very few. From TS Elliott's the Hollow Men, This is the way the world ends, Not with a bang but a whimper.

Before the Internet there were things like the Enquirer. People ate that stuff up.

I've got a nephew that used to rent from me. We used to sit around and talk all the time. This guy's really smart. You wouldn't believe all the conspiracies he believes whether it's Kennedy or landing on the moon whatever. That's not my point though. These people who think like that have this...
