Quote: heatherI saw one of the original crew members, an Asian guy, say that he'd rather have a white guy play him than have his avatar chosen from Hollywood's small pool of Asian talent.
I think it's hilarious when PC lib Hollywood changes the white guy from the novel into a black guy in the movie. If you read the book first, it doesn't work.
Hint: it's not about liberal or PC... it's about selling tickets.
Quote: MarieBicurieThe most annoying result from that movie was that stupid "Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner!" line. Casino patrons were annoying enough already without shouting that retarded phase every 5 minutes.
That is very annoying.

I saw the movie with the Wizard in the theater. Afterward I said I was thinking of writing an article about the inaccuracies in it. He replied, "You ought to write about the things they got right, that would be a shorter list."

I finally watched this movie a few months ago. I found your article to be hilarious and spot-on.
My biggest problem with the film was how he went on tilt, betting huge sums of money with no edge and that was apparently the ONLY time he lost money. Like many other Hollywood depictions of card counting (Rainman and The Hangover come to mind), if you know what you're doing it's a license to print money.
