OT: My First Viewing of 'Blue Chips'

[Hovadipo 53,421]

A few observations:

1: The (probable) accuracy of this film is staggering. Even being 20+ years old.

2. The NERVE Nover had going in and asking for $30k straight up.

3. Chuck Crabb is the Western University PA announcer.

Great movie.

Never heard of it...

 

Does it have Kevin Bacon in it?  :biggrin:

I'm actually at that scene right now. And I'm puking.

But Calbert and Keith Smart suited up for the movie to make it a little more tolerable.

Edit: And at least one Graham I believe.

I watched that for the first time last weekend. Good movie.

I remember watching it at the old Huntington Theater.

They are actually in the process of taking out most of the block across from Central to put in a park... Huntington doesn't look the same.

What took you so long?

What took you so long?

Not really sure. I always knew about it but never really got around to watching it until I thought about it today.

[Hoosier DaDa 2,059]

I was attending IU when that movie was made.  They had tryouts at the Hyper for extras.  It was pretty cool.

 The recruitment of Ricky Roe had a lot of similarities to Ky's recruitment of Kent Benson.

Art imitating real life at its finest.

Saw that when I was there. Tore down the old Lehmans building. They need to tear down the old Marsh too. Otherwise Huntington is still Huntington...bleh! Pizza Junction was as good as ever though!!!!!

Must Watch for any CBB fan! One of my faves from that era.

Man i saw that movie when it first came out. Wasn't it Nover that wanted a new tractor for his families farm or something like that?

It's on Netflix?! I spent a half hour looking for a good illegal stream of it.
