her whiny b1tchy negative attitude, man i can hardly watch her. and this is one of my fave movies!!
just the look on her face makes me feel ill. probably, because i have known women like her. just a big DISPLEASURE to be around

"You are literally too stupid to insult."
"Thank you."
Nope, talk about sucking the life out of one guy completely. For a lawyer, she wasn't too bright anyways.
shareI had always watched the movie thinking the same thing (that she was a cold and horrible person) but have reconsidered lately. She stood by Mike when he lost EVERYTHING and, as Mike says, he made promises to her that he had changed - had learned his lesson - and that he was done gambling. Because we know that addiction to gambling can be like other addictions, imagine if Mike was a recovering alcoholic who hit bottom, and that Jo stood by him the whole time, but that she required a promise from Mike never to drink again. Then imagine Jo catching him coming home with alcohol on his breath and then Mike lying about how it happened and then, when called on his lie, said 'at the bar last night was the first time I felt alive in 9 months.' First of all, even saying that about cards was pretty gross (I have been asleep these 9 months with you), but imagine him saying the same thing about drinking or drugs?
Could Jo have maybe been a little more understanding? Maybe, but she stood by Mike when he hit bottom and then he went back to the behavior that he promised her that he would not go back to, lied to her about it, and then told her that he only felt alive when doing the thing he had sworn not to do.
I'd love to stay and chat...but I'm not going to.
While gambling is an addiction just like alcohol or drugs, I'm not sure Mike was an addict. Sure, he lost 30 grand on one session but it's not like he was powerless losing that money. He said in the movie he was 'outplayed'.
It is shown in the film he is a very skilled card player. The mistakes he made was not solely on playing cards. He did lie to his girlfriend about gambling which I think he admitted was a mistake which ended their relationship.
In the final poker scene he relies on his skill to win his money back and the last poker scene shows he is not gambling just outplaying his opponent on 2 different sessions because he knows he is better and can outplay him.
The reason he goes to Las Vegas is not because he is an addict. It is because he has a skill that most do not possess. He claims that the million dollar prize does not have his name on it... but he is gonna find out based on his skill.
I didn't hear a word she said because I was checking out her ass.
Maybe that's what Mike was thinking too!
Keith Moon was the greatest 'Keith Moon Style' drummer ever!!share
If you mean Jo, the character, yes I agree, though look at the figure on that woman!
I don't know G. Mol, so no opinion there. I did wonder if H. Weinstein cut a piece of any of the actresses in that film though. Sadly, that'll be a factor from now on, much as wondering about minority or woman executives and "affirmative action."
