The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day is a born loser.
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes Pic!
Jordan Krug has sent in some great images… those Conversation BTS shots in particular are amazing and he’s come through with another set of rare shots, this time from the great Paul Newman starrer The Hustler.
Goddamn this is a good movie, with Paul Newman giving a performance that demands your attention every single time he’s onscreen. And then you have Jackie Gleason being a stone cold badass as Minnesota Fats and Piper Laurie being a stone cold fox for that matter! It’s such a great flick, with beautiful black and white cinematography. Damn, I want to rewatch this now…
Thanks once again to Jordan Krug for these great, rare images! I’ve got two shots for you today, the first a standard BTS shot with Newman, the great George C. Scott and the super awesome character actor (yet shitty Mayor) Murray Hamilton at the pool table and the second a slightly damaged, but still awesome bit of mugging from Mr. Newman. Click both to embiggen!
If you have a behind the scenes shot you’d like to submit to this column, you can email me at quint@aintitcool.com.
Tomorrow’s behind the scenes pic is our last hope.

Aka, the nectar of the gods.

I've read he's buried in an unmarked grave. Also, drinking Newman's Own is like licking God's vagina.

Can someone please enlighten me? Also, THE HUSTLER is awesome, and yes, THE COLOR OF MONEY is pretty great too.

That's Murray Hamilton in the top pic with Newman. He played Mayor Vaughn in JAWS.

I can do nothin' for you, son.

...you could see them in a black and white photo.

If you want an interesting double bill watch The Hustler and

The Cincinatti Kid together. The latter is cards instead of pool, and McQueen instead of Newman.

c'mon guys. someone here has to photoshop that second pic
by BadMrWonka
I know that removing one fairly thin line from an old photo is one of the easiest things ever for anyone halfway decent with Photoship. Plus, I bet Quint would post it along with the original and thank you by name, along with sending you a fruit basket! (note: this offer is not endorsed by Quint...member FDIC)
-
Thought at first that Mr Newman was giving us a golden shower. "Wanna know what gives my salad dressing that extra tang? Wanna know?" Only for a second.
-
No fruit basket, but my email's on this article. If you're good at photoshop, remove that crease I'll post it with thanks and a link if you have a blog or some such.
-
Gives it character. Buncha fukkin' Lucases around here with your revisionism!
-
Shit, why don't I have this in ANY format, not even an ancient VHS tape? I remember how bad I felt for him when he got his thumbs broken...

Proof, if proof were needed, that having that name doesn't automatically make you cool 'cos he was right cunt.

Just inspired me for a project I've been working on with the first pic
by Eliywahoo
Thanks AICN!!!!!

Paul is probably one of the few old time stars I would shag in a second. I usually beat off after I catch one of his movies - which is usually The Towering Inferno. As for The Hustler - it's about playing Pool - or is it snooker? Either way, boring! But then any chance to disappear into those blue eyes.... Oh and his salad dressing is the best.
-
It's a great film, completely performance driven. Yet, with all the attention give Newman, Scott and Gleason (all brilliant btw...) I think Piper Laurie's blows them all away. She is ,frankly, brilliant in this movie. Her pain ooooooozes off the screen... It's really, IMO, one of the great underappreciated female performances of the last century.
-
A JAWS reference, now I'm really embarrased. As well I should be.

Hercules censoring people who break news before him.
by raptorjesusgonnafuckherc
hercules has repeatedly been deleting my account, which was under the name of raptorjesusisback. I didn't do anything wrong, nor did I break any rule or term of service on the site, except to make a crack about how Herc doesn't understand what a dramedy is (talkback here: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/45055 although all criticisms of herc have been deleted). I then posted this link http://www.comingsoon.net/news/tvnews.php?id=81043 in the breaking bad talkback at 10:04pm, where Herc took my information to update the story, then deleted my account and all posts by 11pm. I informed herc of this news, bur rather than thank me for the update, he simply erased my existence. I don't understand how this site abides by such censorship. People can say what they like, but if a mod has a personal issue then they can abuse their power? I even contacted harry for a response, but received none. What has happened to AICN, in that petty bitchy little moderators are allowed to steal information without attribution and silence those who provide it? You know what would be nice, is an answer from Harry, but no....so far nothing. What do you think talkbackers? Acceptable?
-
... I agree. It's unacceptable. But then, Herc has been a douche since day one. I'll remember your plight when you get deleted again, my friend.
-
Check your email, sent you a shopped pic - hope it cuts the mustard. Unfortunately, now I see the full face, I see . . . . TOM CRUISE!!!!!!OMFG!!11! THOSE EYES THOSE EYES

by Grammaton Cleric Binks
of course it's not acceptable. The thing is I usually ignore Herc, and rarely read his posts as he is the least professional of the bunch here. He is anti-Quint actually. I still don't know how he got a job.

Speaking of George C. Scott, forget pool. I hear he would wipe the floor

It's one of my favorite movies, period. I'm going to have to see it again, along with its sequel.
-
The Hustler's great I just like the character arc better in TCoM. And the movie never comes up when people talk good sequels. That and Psycho 2. "There's a reason for that." STFU future poster.

Fantastic Newman performance, great direction, pacing and a real understanding of the character. The fact that the infamous"Doom" line from Cruise named the video game alone makes it a classic.

In The Color of Money we see a mature Fast Eddie
by Grammaton Cleric Binks
In The Hustler he doesn't mature until the end. So, depending on how you want to see the character will determine which movie you prefer though both are great. Not only is Color a worthy sequel, but more so considering how many years later the sequel was made. Also, look at Color and you can get some great early glimpses of Forrest Whitaker and Turturro.
-
I think the Color of Money doesn't come up much in sequel talk because: 1) I think a lot of people may not be aware it is one and, more so 2) It doesn't at all play like a sequel. The movies were made 25 years apart, the name offers no indication that it's a follow up and the film doesn't behave like a follow up. Other than the Felton character's name and same implications about his past, if you didn't know better you'd never know. There's no flashback to previous events, no opening credit montage of his life since the last film, nor any real connection fabric. We could just as easily be meeting Fast Eddie for the very first time and it stlll completely works.

it was just a great movie period.

I went to the supermarket, and I saw Paul Newman's face on the side of a jar. Then I saw another item with Paul Newman's face on it, and then another. Hey man....is Paul Newman *missing*???

Why did it crop off the top part of the post?
by Damned if I can login
It was a Bruce Baum joke, from a perfomance at a local comedy club in the early 90's.

Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Bogart, Newman, McQueen, Redford, Beatty...MEN...incredible male stars who earned every cent and kudo they received. I'll never forget the story Spielberg told about trying to cast McQueen as Roy Neary in CE3K...McQueen had Spielberg meet him at a bar in Trancas, California, middle of fucking nowhere...McQueen has like 30 beers or something and forces Spielberg (who doesn't drink) to have several...McQueen gets in a fight and starts knocking fucking skulls...he wasn't afraid of tarnishing his movie star looks. He told Spielberg he couldn't do the role because he couldn't cry on cue. Spielberg, desperately wanting to cast McQueen said he'd change the scene...McQueen told him NO, leave the scene because it's great. What movie star would do that today? Male actors of before were true characters...boozing, fighting, fucking, and adverturing their way through life while lighting up the silver screen. Burton, Flynn, Plumber, Shaw, Holden, Hopper...there guys would go on 7 year benders! I'll never forget the time Robert Shaw was so sea sick on Jaws he couldn't even walk...they had to carry him to the shot where he YELLS "HOOPER YA IDIOT, STARBORD AINTCHA WATCHING IT!!!"...Shaw could barely even keep his head up, but when Spielberg yelled action, Shaw belted the line with such fury it scared the shit out of everybody...when Spielberg yelled cut, Shaw slumped back into being sick...what fucking actor would be able to do that hardcore shit today??? And they were great, interesting, intense actors, REAL MEN...Brando, Duvall, Caan, Hoffman, Hackman, who do we have today? effeminate, androgynous "male" performers... Kutcher, Walker, Efron, Wood...pussified "males"... even today's directors are pussies...do you think Tim Burton would carry two .45's in his belt and fire one off instead of calling action like Sam Fuller did? Peckinpah regularly got into fist fights with studio execs over his films...the closest is James Cameron who nearly killed a studio exec by holding off the edge of a tank for coming to his set in The Abyss. The older films had grit, character, pathos, artistry because the people making them were REAL PEOPLE, they didn't let the hollywood glamour and lifestyle fuck up their perspective on life. The baton is being passed on to wimps who aren't even that good...who's going to replace Mel Gibson? Paul Walker??? Who's going to replace Gene Hackman? Hayden Christensen??? Who's going to replace Hoffman? Ryan Gosling??? (he's good, but come on! he's not up to it) Who's going to replace Pacino, Deniro, Day Lewis, Ed Harris? Zac fucking Braff??? Robert fucking Pattison??? Taylor fucking Lautner???

That's doing it Ben Hur style baby.

Holy shit! I just realized I always looked more like Newman than my dad!
by UltraTron
Omg! Do you think?!..

But would you really want me too? I think it adds character

Fuckya!

Dude you just won the whole internet with that quote.

Awesome story about McQueen. As for today we got Clooney and Crowe I guess. You're right though. But I don't think it's just Hollywood; I think it extends to the essential neutering of the modern man. I suppose Fight Club touched upon this. And the guy who wrote that is gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
