Sorry. Only laughing because of the though of Smurf replacing the red haired hooker in gone with the wind. Forget her name, belle watson or something like that.

The movie sucked anyway. Absolutely abysmal. Such a disservice to the book.
 
No, it's a she!
 
What about me :(

wait, so confused.

Perhaps you use that movie as a descriptor different than me.

I used it once to refer to the women who was Scarlett to my Rett.

Wait...don't tell me her name is Lisa...

Pretty good movie, but very small, from a few years back. You remind me a bit of Jennifer Connelly's character.

You're a wee bit off track there, Lisa!. With the exception of tournaments, I don't play pool for money. If you were familiar with how I got the name Danger, you'd realize that most folks who know me would more likely associate me with 'Gross Pointe Blank', 'Day of the Jackal', or possibly 'Terminator'.

The end of the movie reminds me of you! :biggrin: I know you don't play for money but as I remember, Paul New man was mad about playing pool too and that's why he reminds me of you. Anyway I knew you may not like it! :redface:

I never said that I didn't like it; just making sure that people understand my approach to the game. A lot of folks do tend to think in 'hustler' terms when they hear the word 'pool'. (Or that damned 'Trouble in River City' song.) It has a bad reputation from decades ago, but is now a family-friendly organized international sport. If you ever manage to get here, I'll take you on as a Scotch Doubles partner.

Wow! Wonderful!

PS Do you look like the guy in the 'Jackal's day'? :rolleyes:

If those other movies are too violent - not really me - I just like the cruising cross country and driving fast :biggrin: , then I'll settle for

Dr. Doolittle (Rex Harrison) or Around the World in 80 Days (David Niven), or perhaps the Pink Pather (Peter Sellers). :biggrin:

It actually got the name from where it was played. Pool halls were gambling establishments and billiard tables were a popular form of entertainment between events that the "betting pools" were on.

I'm really terrible about these sorts of games. I can't think of anything for anyone.

SOS2008 has always reminded me of Jackie Brown, not sure why. maybe because she's an ex-felon?
