Any Threes?

This seemed to be the best way I could find to comment on Alan Levine’s Animated MacGuffin which is now a “MacGIFfin”. And if you know this scene in The Sting, Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw) set’s up Harry Gondorf (Paul Newman) with a hand of four threes, which he is to beat with his setup hand of four nines. But Gondorf is the better cheat, substituting four Jacks. Go fish Lonnegan!

    Oh, I love that!
    One punchline begets another, all bundled up in a MacGIFfin like a very clever conversation.

    That’s a big fish who does not even know he was netted– brilliant in response! The Sting is full of MacMoments where it could have gone awry.
