You need help! Serious professional help! Romoved from society kind of help! Lol
put a name to the outlined palyer.
that's a herman rambow built custom that newman's putting together.
It came is a two tape set. In the beginning most tapes were like from $59.00 to over a $100.00.. I am talking about the late 70's. The prices came down fast once the rental stores began opening.
You hit the nail on the head there. That scene when ever the movie was on TV was always edited out. Many people had never seen that scene till they saw the movie on cable or had the video. I guess the guys who did the editing for TV thought that scene was boring.
I recognized Charles Dierkop. He is an actor who was in later Newman movies like BC and the SD kid and the Sting. In the Hustler he is the guy who drags him out to have his thumbs broken.
There are not many mistakes in the movie. Near the end before Eddie tells Fats "You play a great game of Pool" there is a cut where Newman seems to be in a completely different spot in relation to Gleason.
Another thing I noticed is how convincing Newman is as a player. He moves around quickly and has a decent stroke. This is also assisted with great editing that makes everything move seamlessly.
I think one of the big mistakes in the movie is when Charlie tells Eddie "You have been playing 25 hours". That would make it around 9 pm the following night yet the place is empty. It should be hopping especially with a big action game going on. The first night at 8 PM every table was going it looked like.
Am I the only one who thinks this movie is depressing as hell? I've gotten through it once all the way and a few times bits and pieces. I can't imagine 3 months worth. Always wondered what the appeal is. I
It is a modern Shakespearean story and character study. The setting could be any number of places, but it takes place in the subcultural world of the pool room. You need to watch it a number of times to really to appreciate it and judge it.Am I the only one who thinks this movie is depressing as hell?
