Pool Factor

Yo Oranges! 'Scuse me while I indulge in a bit of my fav pastime of talking about cool movies which I've enjoyed watching, and somehow sneekily weaving them into the blog. It's just that I'm an avid cinephile who truly believes that art imitates life, and vice versa.

As they say, reality used to be a friend of mine, so if you can't beat the grittiness of life... don't fight it... escape from it! Yeah!

Turn the lights off and start the popcorn munching.

- TODAY'S FEATURE MOVIE -
From the 80s vault

The Color of Money is a 1984 novel by American writer Walter Tevis, continuing the story of Edward "Fast Eddie" Felson from The Hustler (1959).

The book was very loosely adapted into a 1986 film of the same name, with Paul Newman reprising his role from the movie version of The Hustler (film) (1961). The film also stars Tom Cruise as Vincent and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as Carmen.

- TODAY'S ORANGE FEATURE -
... Of life imitating art

Having a late Monday night pool session at Pool Fusion 2, Bugis...

NT, as "Tom Coolz", the young pool hustler

DD, as "Paul Noomun", the old pro pool shark

KN, MS and MV, as "The Honeyz"

"My my, NT, that's a long... cue you've got."

"Use the force, Luke."

DD gives his protege, BH some pool shark tips,
"It's so easy, just like piercing a fishball, poke the stick straight through with one smooth gliding action, and voila! Into the hole the ball goes!"

"My, NT, that's a long... never mind."

Chill...
