Comments on: 21 http://www.moviezeal.com/21/ The official podcast of MovieZeal.com, where film is always best discussed under the gentle influence of fine wine (as fine as $10 will get you). Each week Evan, Heather, and Luke pick a theme, discuss a theatrical release based on that theme, pop the cork and drink a wine that fits said theme, and finally subject one another to The Gauntlet, where forcing others to watch painful films nets you fabulous prizes. There is not anything else on the internets like it (literally).

You understand a lot its almost arduous to argue with you (not that I truly would need…HaHa). You positively put a brand new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Great stuff, simply great! That is the correct blog for anybody who desires to find out about this topic. You understand a lot its almost arduous to argue with you (not that I truly would need…HaHa).

If they thought casting trained gophers in the lead roles would sell the most tickets, they would have done that. Come to think of it, I'd like to see that movie...

But then an all Asian cast wouldn't have been very marketable, now would it? Could not agree more, Christian. But then an all Asian cast wouldn’t have been very marketable, now would it?

The fact they were all Asian is far more unique and interesting. Except to Hollywood. I still think it’s revealing that they made the cast WB stars.

Well this was a very fair write up considering it sounds like total formulaic garbage. It actually sounds very European... I might end up seeing for the Fishbourne grunts and the digital eye-popping visuals and soundtrack. Haha that article was hilarious.

Seriously. Well I avoid previews of the movies that I know I'm going to see, regardless of genre, but the ones that I do watch don't usually convince me to go. Your last two points, Evan and Luke, are right on. Thanks, Joseph – that TNR piece is one of the best things I’ve read in a long time. Seriously.

That's why TV commercials are always loud and annoying. They don't care if you like them, they just want you to remember them. Well–the human mind is known to mistake familiarity for preference.

It's a fact. American audiences are more likely to pay money to see something the more they know about it. You know, movies that reveal more of the plot in their marketing I better at the box office.

Personally, though, I get a little tired of people complaining that something "gives away" the plot of a movie. There are only, like, seven or eight stories out there, and every movie is a variation on one of them. Ninety-nine percent of the time, we all walk into a movie pretty much knowing how it's going to end. That was pretty funny.

I ripped 21 pretty badly but I've tried to make it clear that it can still be enjoyed on a visual level as you describe. Soundtrack was good, too. Basically, it's the worst movie I've actually recommended in a long time. Well…I guess I’m glad you at least didn’t try to defend the plot details or characters here!
