“Sponder is… I believe the term is ‘cougar’.”
Linus’s fake nose ploy is “The Brody”, a reference to actor Adrien Brody.
What Hotel is the Bank Hotel? It’s not Bank IRL, right?
The special scent that Linus puts on his neck to seduce Abigail is noted in a title card as “The Gilroy.” This is an in-joke on Tony Gilroy who wrote the screenplays for The Bourne Identity (2002), The Bourne Supremacy (2004), and The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), all starring Matt Damon, and also wrote and directed Michael Clayton (2007), which stars George Clooney and is produced by Steven Soderbergh.
“Perhaps you’d like to tell Mr. Wang yourself.”
IYKWIM.
Is the Bank Hotel and Casino a real Las Vegas casino?
While the producers of the movie took painstaking effort to use authentic tables, slot machines etc. the full interior of the hotel/ casino is actuality a Hollywood set. The building that is seen in the CGI composite of the aerial views of The Strip aka Las Vegas Blvd is superimposed on the SE corner of Harmon & Las Vegas Blvd currently the home of the Harley Davidson Café - a single story building with no resemblance to the Bank Casino.
Oh SNAP!! That is OSSIM!! It ain’t there.
Does Linus have the Kavorka?
Damn near knocked Sponder over. :eek:
I don’t know. This part kinda bugged me. Livingston screwed them there. They’ve got to scramble or they’ll all get pinched.
I think it is part of the plot to throw off the other thief because the other casino manager is watching everything.
“…offering you an olive basket.”
A whut?
How? Livingston has nothing to do with the diamonds.
Who is Livingston?
mmm, an olive basket sounds pretty good right about now.
“Who’s got a magnatron?”
Um, you do.
The guy who got pinched by the feds.
The guy who got pinched and asked for Roman’s help.
So does everyone who owns a microwave.
[spoiler]Livingston was taken by (Matt Damon’s character’s) dad. He’s a fake fed so that they can switch out the good machines with the ones the tricked out ones.[/spoiler]
“Little Timmy Hardwell.”
Matt Damon’s face as he looks at…
