The Big Blind is supposed to be out this week, and it looks promising. [/ QUOTE ] Anyone know what this Big Blind movie is about? This is the first I've heard of it, and imdb.com doesn't have much info on it.

Re: Movie Review \"Shade\"

However the movie wasn't really about poker, it was about cheating and it wasn't interesting. I felt like I wasted $0.99 renting it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Funny, that's what I've always said about "Rounders". [/ QUOTE ] This is true of virtually every film/popularisation of poker. It's always about cheating and scamming.

I wonder if Russ Georgiev has connections in Hollywood and is responsible for this? [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Re: Movie Review \"Shade\"
Otherwise, it'd be pretty dull.
Although not always. While there was some cheating involved in The Cincinnati Kid, it wasn't about cheating and scamming. The great poker scene in Cool Hand Luke involved bluffing, not cheating. Rounders wasn't about cheating and scamming either. Nor was the great California Split. And arguably the two most famous scams in movie poker (A Big Hand for the Little Lady and the poker scene in The Sting) were kind of toungue-in-cheek/comedic in tone.
