Im an SL6, in my eyes, Mars plays more like a 4, especially with all the banks. Lower SL's go for banks instead of cuts a lot.
just saw stickmen

Recently, I met Hall of Famer Lou Butera. Though I knew he has had several acting roles in movies, I did not know that he was the technical advisor of "Racing with the Moon," which is one of my favorite all-time pool scenes.
He also played himself in "The Baltimore Bullet." Here's a link to his other movies: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0124748
Though his picture is not depicted on the IMDB website, I have provided a recent photo of Lou Butera below!

Jam,
I had never seen Racing With The Moon before just now. I didn't even know it had pool in it. That was a great pool scene. At first I was like they hardly even shot. Then later in the movie they played the sailors and you were right. That was really fun. THANKS JAM!
PS: The DVD had crappy commentating. He never gives nods to Lou or even mentions him. FIGURES!

That's cool, I didn't mean any offense by what I said. I just thought he looked OK (But then again there didn't seem to be that many people who could shoot well in the movie, so it might have just been the comparision).
As for the banks, I agree that they where over done and really not needed, but I play pool. It was to look cool to someone watching who doesn't I think. They did the same stuff in the Hustler and COM. Oh yes and in Stickmen they did some FUNKY stuff too.

It is not that bad. Look at the bright side, it had pool in it. I think that any "true" billiards enthusiast should at least appreciate that. I bought the movie when it first came out, and I have watched it several times. It does get funnier every time.
