'Casino'

Recently, famed movie star Paul Newman died.

I have to admit, it didn't affect me very much. Mainly because as someone who didn't seriously start watching films until the 1990s, I was completely detached from Newman. None of his big films came out during my cinematic conciousness. It's really not a big deal. I'm not exactly up on Humphrey Bogart's films or Clark Gable's.

But I started thinking about Robert DeNiro, realizing that he's going to be dead sooner than later and maybe I'll feel about him what many folks older than me are feeling about Newman.

Also, it should be noted that we assume that the real Tom Cruise is something like his character T.J. Mackey from "Magnolia."

So is the real Sharon Stone just like Ginger in "Casino"? Seems like it.
