--/08/16 Mississippi Grind (2015)

A habitual gambler is caught in the spiral of debt and desperation that heavy betters always seem to be in filmworld. One night he meets Ryan Reynolds character whose presence seems to have a positive effect on Ol' Gambly's luck.

We spent most of the film thinking that Reynolds' was some kinda imaginary, Tyler Durden, wish fulfillment persona, but he's not, he's an actual fleshperson.

They take a trip together through the gambling states and end up taking their increasing luck all the way to the big stakes tables...

Flippin' lightweights, only last week Podd and I went to Brighton and we spent about £20 on the 2P coin shoves and ended up winning two keyring robots and a Pokemon fella.

Yeah, beat that Hollywood. We've stared into the abyss of gambling.

Then some more two pence coins fell out of the abyss into the metal tray bit.

Then some small toy robots.

Hurrah!
