Forgot Joey Knish was in this. Haven't seen it in 20+ years.

It's in the way that you use it.

Who was bigger, strictly as a movie star -- Newman or Redford?

Newman by a considerable margin, particularly when you add up the latter half of their careers. Newman became a great character actor when the leading-man roles thinned out, which was something that Redford didn't seem much interested in.

Was that because he became a prolific producer/director? Or he just grew weary of acting?

Love Mr Newman but no way this was an Oscar winning role that year

I never tire of seeing him in The Sting and Slap Shot.

I've assumed it was ego, like Warren Beatty (the role of Jack Horner was written by Paul Thomas Anderson specifically for Beatty, but he didn't want to be a supporting actor).

I forgot that John Turturro had a supporting role. I thought he only made movies that were directed by Spike Lee or the Coen Brothers.

Turturro = Joey Knish/Rounders

The subtle acting greatness of Newman is in the look on his face when he finally realizes what Forrest Whitaker is doing.

This movie is much better than I remembered. Figured I would have changed the channel by now.

EB, without going to his IMDB page, do you recognize the black guy who runs the pool hall?

No.

No, the older guy. He was the reverend's father in The Sopranos. Tony had a nice chat with him while they waited for his son.

 

[Baloney Sandwich]

Absence of Malice is a great, underrated movie of his.

 

[Da Guru]

Just thought of the scene when Luke found out his mother died.

 

[Sabertooth]

I never realized that Newman was married for over 50 years.

You are mistaken sir. That's not Joey Knish, that's Mary Elizabeth Mastrontonio. Honest mistake, they do look a lot alike.
