    poolhall junkies

    just saw this last night. fucking amazing.

    three major factors hit me. and not the pool shots.

    1. the main char is a pro poo player who wrote and scripted it.
    2. all about the dialogue
    3. palminteri vs walken arguement at the end is amazing. you could film 2 hours of them arguing and it would be a cult classic.

    but seriously, what a movie. so happy when you get to see movies like this.

      right?
      that ending scene is fucking cinematic genious.

      the ULTIMATE shit talking scene.

      palminteri-- who are you
      walken- his backer.
      CP- I'm betting this big-time action brings out the dog in your boy, over there .Did I just stutter or something?A few minutes ago, it was like a pool hall in here. Now it's as quiet as a church.
      Is this your first time in a pool hall,Mr. Backer man? Is that it? Your clothes getting a little mashed?Let me tell you something, When you walk out of here,
      your skin will smell of this place for a week.Every time you put on that suit,
      you will think of me taking your money. 'Cause I'm the only one in this room
      who knows how fast your boy can run. You want to know why? 'Cause I bred him.
      How the fuck does that make you feel...to be in that position,
      with all your money on the table?-How much you got, Joe?
      Walken- what?
      Chazz P- Total. You put down $100,000 like it didn't matter.That's a lot of money for somebody like you and him. I think it matters
      walken- What's the difference?!?!?--
      -I'm a millionaire.That's the difference.I lose $ 100000, I get another $100000 .For me, it doesn't matter.
      See, I think it's you...you who is sweating this, the both of you.People in pool rooms don't come across this kind of take but once in a lifetime. And now you're gonna
      put it all on the line against John... 'cause you think he's gonna choke?
      I don't think so.
      Palmiteri- i think he's gonna choke. you wanna shoot it all, lets shoot it all.
      walken--How much you got in your pocket?
      palminteri- i got a couple of thousand. you?
      walken- 80,000 more. how about your ring?
      palminteri- my what?
      walken- your ring, how much it worth, how much you pay for it.?
      palminteri- you want my ring?!
      walken- hey , you said shoot for all of it.
      palminteri- i paid 1800 for it.
      walken- (thorws down a wad of cash) 3000, covered.....im gonna make you leave with nothing. im going for a drink, you want a drink?

        Agreed. I saw this only once. I totally forgot about it. I need to add it to my "i get high and watch great movies" collection.

        Thanks for the reminder.

            I guess I'll have to see the movie to justify that dialogue up there because all alone it sure wasn't much at all. But we know how it goes. Some things you just have to be there or see it on film to get the whole feeling from it.

              palminteri is pure class anyway. he plays a right asshole sometimes.
              will be snagging this soon.
