As a true fan of the X-Men before the films came out, I feel that it took entirely too long for the character of Gambit to be featured on the big screen. The Cajun superhero that could infuse objects with energy and hurl them like bombs deserved better than an appearance in the fourth (and worst) film of the series. Oh what could have been...
Gambit could turn anything he could get his grubby little hands on into a bomb, but his weapon of choice was usually a deck of cards. As I was in Las Vegas, and I had an abundance of said cards, I decided that this was a prime opportunity to pay homage to a mutant who didn't get his due. I asked my brother, Lukas Farabee, to show me how to throw cards.
Other things I learned/looked up:
1) Craps is maybe the most addictive (and fun) games to play at the casino (Extensive personal research)
2) Cognac pairs really well with late night craps games (More extensive personal research)
3) You can lose a lot of money while playing craps and drinking cognac (Unfortunately, this was also learned through extensive personal research)
