“You guys are pros. The best. I’m sure you can make it out
of the casino. Of course, lest we forget, once you’re out the
front door, you’re still in the middle of the fucking desert!”
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeell yeah
Imagine a world where Toher Grace gets mobbed, while Brad Pitt and George Clooney are ignored. :eek:
Rachel’s on her way back from Blockbuster, so we’ll start as soon as she’s ready.
Here! Ready!
When do we start?
Have to confess that I’ve only seen snippets of the Oceans movies.
Got the movie a few days ago, but have to leave you cause Bayern can win the second title of the season tonight.
Wish you a lot of fun watching Clooney & Co. 
Well, go Bayern!
The boys seem to have deserted us… :eek:
I’m back baby!!! Taking off my pants and getting ready to frak. Hope I remember how. 
ALrighty. Let’s start at 1pm so everyone is synced up
Start at :50? Unless y’all have already started, then time check?
ETA: Never mind. Let’s do what 'talos said.
The prison Danny Ocean is paroled from - North Jersey State Prison - is actually East Jersey State Prison, formerly known as Rahway State Prison. This facility was the setting of Scared Straight! (1978). There is actually a Northern State Prison located across the highway from Newark (NJ) International Airport. Parole hearings at “Rahway State” are held in a conference room near the inmate dining hall. The area he was having his parole interview was in the “Drill Hall” (indoor gym/recreation area). The cell block that Danny was being escorted from is “3-Wing” - a regular, working cell block. The inmates were either confined to their cells or relocated to other areas of the prison for the filming. The “Officer” escorting Danny out of the cell block and securing the gate, was actually a Lieutenant, and at the time, was the coordinator of the “Scared Straight” program.
George Clooney had a keg of Guinness installed in his dressing room.
Note to self: make a movie with George Clooney.
Henry Silva and Angie Dickinson, who both appeared in the original Ocean’s Eleven (1960), make cameo appearances during the fight scene.
I did not know that!!
In case you’re wondering, I’m reading the Trivia page on IMDB.
Yarp- That’s my kinda guy!
You seem to have insider knowledge of the prison system. Care to share how you came by it? :rolleyes:
Alan Arkin was originally cast as Saul Bloom but dropped out due to personal reasons.
That would have been OSSIM!! Reiner is great, but c’mon Arkin would have been amazing.
I maneuver very well in the shower. I’m slippery when wet.
Rahway State Prison was less than five minutes from my grandparents’ house. We drove past it often.
