Potsie P 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Here's how it works. Submit your favorite movie title that is NOT a poker movie and write the new slugline (the one-sentence description of what the movie is about) for your new, poker-related movie. The more ridiculous yet plausible, the better. Refrain from using movie titles that already borrow from poker terminology (i.e., Suicide Kings, Smokin' Aces--boring).For example:Four Weddings and a Funeral - An aging railbird takes his shot in the Main Event and learns the hard way that all-in is a great play every time--until the last time.Bullets Over Broadway - The coming-of-age story about a young fish in love who learns a heartbreaking truth--that even in life, Aces never beat a straight.Dude, Where's My Car? - A documentary about the pitfalls of "Chuck," a grinder infamous for playing No Limit cash games with too little sleep...and a bankroll named Sentra. (Hey, I was bored. Plus I know you guys could be good for some great ones.) Link to post Share on other sites
