The Hustler Apreesh

Saw it on tv this weekend. My new favorite movie. Paul Newman is a god. I am in love with him.

funny - the Hustler™ film I just saw didn't have Paul Newman in it...

I bet you saw a different version of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, too.

In all seriousness, though, <i>The Hustler</i> is a classic. Minnesota Fats, man.

One of the faves my Dad and I still talk about.

Did you see Scorsese's (inferior) but still pretty good follow-up <i>The Color of Money</i>?

I don't remember this from when I saw it 5 or 6 years ago, but supposedly there is a small IGGY Pop role.

I'll have to rent it to catch Iggy's bit, but I remember the follow-up flick. Kind of interesting how Felson turns into the a-hole manager.
Find me on github.
