Anyone else find that long-drawn-out poker scene in Casino Royale really tedious?
I've never subscribed to the out-dated machismo that's attached to high-stakes gambling - all those steely looks that say, "This pile of chips is indicative of my huge genitalia." It's a movie cliché that turns up in the saloons of the Wild West as well as the casinos of Europe, but I wonder if it ever turns up in real life casinos? Do you see guys at the tables playing out that fantasy?
