Color of money, 80s classic!


To really appreciate Color of Money you need to see it back to back with the 60's classic "The Hustler". Then if you watch the Hustler you need to see STeve Mcqueen in The Cincinnatti Kid.


Newman was never less than good to watch and often close to great. In Road to Perdition (his last[?] film) he gave an Oscar level performance.


When great actors die it changes my view - they are / were part of my firmanent.

Was Paul Newman the lead actor in Cool Hand Luke? Here I was thinking he was the guy out of all those National Lampoon's flicks.


I really am completely rubbish at movie stuff that doesn?t involve Kevin Smith or Quentin Tarantino.

You are Brendan, you really are.

Marlon Brando did some of his finest work in those NL films, all in vain as far as you're concerned.

All the profits from his salad dressings after tax went to charity - over ?100m over the years.


He was also a very sucessful motor racing driver and came 2nd in the Le Mans 24 hour race in a professional team when in his 50's - a major feat for anyone.


He was happily married to Joanna Woodward for over 50 years.


AND he was a successful actor.


Pretty damn good contribution to the world I would say.

    • Other than acting as 'interested parties' Southwark Councillors have no responsibility for water issues. And no real leverage either. Considering the complete disdain with which Thames Water treats its own Regulator, and the government, (let alone its customers) I doubt very much whether an entire battalion of councillors would have much impact. What powers could they exercise?
    • That may not be so - many on this site are experts in many areas - you yourself claim huge traffic management (or similar) expertise for instance. And I think you will find that Southwark employees are unlikely to support criticism or challenges to Southwark policy - why, you don't and you apparently neither live in, or vote in, the borough. Do you, however, work for it, as you are such a cheerleader? If not, then you are the most passionate disinterested person on this site, as regards so many aspects, not just traffic.
    • Rather than have a go at Southwark,  contact them, they will employ at least one arborist who will know far more than most people on this site. Here's one: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaun-murphy-morris-03b7b665/?originalSubdomain=uk
    • I would look in the surrounding area as once they realise it has nothing they could sell or of obvious monatary value in it they'll dump the bag and contents.
