Mike McDermott: F**k it, let's go.
Worm: Don't tease me.
Mike McDermott: Let's play some cards.
Worm: Yes! | Yep - the "Rolled up Aces over Kings" is classic. And I don't even play stud.

Ask BCC: Why does it take 6-8 months when you promised 4-5 weeks? How come you didn't look at the chips before you sent them out? Why does it take 6+ months for BCC to make good on a bad order after waiting 6-8 months in the first place? |

One of my best friends is a professional movie trailer editor and he actually worked on the trailer for Rounders. He called me up about a year before the movie was released and said "this poker movie Rounders is awesome but John Malkovich has the WORST Russian accent in it."
At first I was laughing at how bad his accent was but in retrospect, its one of the best parts of the movie. His accent itself should get it's own credit.
"He beeit mee, straaight up.. paay dat maan his moneey."
Also can anyone weigh on a debate I have had with a friend about one of John Turturo (sp?)'s lines?
He says "Mike's Ali like return to the ring" but when I did the closed captions, it said "alley like". It seems obviously like a reference to Muhammad Ali, but my friend says in this context it means "an alley cat" that is a scrappy fighter.
I think I'm right, but I'd love to get everyone here's opinion on this one.. |

While Ali had his returns..I wouldn't tap into those returns to describe Ali...but can understand if the writer did. |
