Just saw this, interesting. Chastain is top notch.

I read the book. It was interesting. Main thing I remember is Tobey Maquire is a jerk and would bring his own Shuffle Master to the games and charge for its use...
 
Love Sorkin. What's your beef with him?

I hate most of his writing. I love A Few Good Men, Moneyball and The Social Network, but everything else I can't stand. Towering over the field, though, is The West Wing. I would rather watch 7 seasons of Aaron Sorkin and Martin Sheen blowing each other.

I wouldn't like that.

It was an entertaining and easy read. Got through it pretty quickly. They sure did make TM seem like a giant ass.

I take it back. The Newsroom is as bad as The West Wing. I guess TWW just gets referenced more by people I know. But yes both are garbage.

I used to like the Newsroom until I read a post from you awhile back ranting about how and why Sorkin is so shitty. Your post pissed me off. I agreed with everything you said. After that I had no desire to watch any of the shit that he makes.

Thanks ass :)

Newsroom was meh, but TWW was one of the best TV series of all time (top 3 for me). Then again, you hate Billy Joel and Top Gun. I've always wondered if you were a particularly competent Russian operative. This just confirms it. CLB and I always thought it was weird that you wanted Borscht whenever you stayed over. This explains everything.

Simpleminded DD got brain washed by the crafty Russian operative, Comrade Butler. Go back to Moscow!
 
I read excerpt in Vanity Fair a long time ago, what a D-bag maquire was made to look. Now if i see him in a movie, thats all i think about. Not that i thought he was a good actor before the article/ book.


EDIT: fwiw this thread is not "off topic"

@T_Chan - you should reach out to the production company and offer to make them a table for the movie, even at cost or less. Would be great marketing down the road, especially if the movie is a hit! Can you imagine if it becomes Oscar worthy and gets a lot of attention? The Mark Gordon Company is producing it. I cant find a website?
 
Why did they have to use dice chips???

$250K Buy-in with dice chips? Come on Molly. Cut the Busch league BS
 
those orange dice chips looks sweet! ....just kidding.

Seriously though, it may be a good movie but it won't know because all I will be thinking about is those dice chips.
 
Not all scenes use dice chip blanks (they even captured the horrid clanking sound perfectly, lol).

Also in play are re-labeled stitch mold plastics with metal slugs from Claysmith, a definite upgrade:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Epic failure. What a bummer.
 
Some movies get it right. Recently re-watched a couple of favorites and took some screenshots when these pretties debuted.

Anyone venture a guess to the movies?

Sorry Jessica for the threadjack. Loved you in Miss Sloan, Zero-Dark-Thirty, and the dream I had last night.
 
Maybe they used cheap dice/plastic chips in the movie because that is what Molly (and others) actually used to use in their games!!

I will take some pictures and post in a few days. You will be surprised of the chips that are actually used in these games.
