anyone hear about the movie better luck tomorrow? link
i was talking to my friend who just came from an asian american convention and i guess one of the stars from the movie was tehre promoting the movie and talking about how hard it was to get this movie done. anyway, he had told a story about when they were meeting w/ execs in hollywood or something.....and they showed a pie chart of moviegoer trends...it had caucasian, african american and latino. and they were like, "well where are the asian americans?" and the guy said, "oh well asian americans tend to go with caucasian trends so they're put in the caucasian part of the chart." WTF??
another incident was that universal was going to do the movie for like 10 mil or something IF it didn't star any asians..........so obviously they didn't go w/ universal. it went to sundance and MTV films picked it up. so yeah...i read the synopsis, the movie sounds ok. i can't go watch it when it comes out b/c it's not playing in philly cuz there are no asians here hehe....but check it out. if it does well in theaters then it will help put us asians on that pie chart....stupid pie chart. :P

silence.........
