To me, the movie was okay... saw it on Friday... both theaters were packed... sat in the very first row... argh.

not bad, not great... interesting though. not even sure that was arcadia, but that's not a big deal.

you guys should check it out...

 

from what the producer said it was taken place in Orange County.

 

I saw this on Saturday at Century City. It was really packed filled mainly of course with Asians and some of the indie crowd. I don't know why people are afraid to express their opinions on this movie. I ask my gf what she thought about it and she says "I don't know." I ask my other friend and she says, "I don't know." Are people afraid to give a dissenting opinion because they don't want to put down their own race. I also heard coming out of the theatres that people didn't like it.

I for one didn't think it was a great but it was a good statement movie. It shows what Asians go through (a little bit more thuggishly than my life) but its a MOVIE! Hell! I'm proud of it, I was in the Academic Decathlon. We didn't go very far but I was still there. I think the characters need a little more development but overall, it was decent. I think the non-Asian crowd would probably enjoy it more because Asians try to relate it themselves too much and which for the majority of them, isn't true.

I applaud Justin Lin.

 

HAH! me too. "A" group, 1992. I think we came in 2nd or 3rd in LA county. I was Super Quiz champ (that year I knew that the breast implant company having problems was Dow Corning).

 

hmmm.... don't think my school had an academic decathlon team... probably not enough asians... j/k.

but I was in the chess club... is that geeky enough?

 

Damn! I hated that Super Quiz. I don't remember anything about it because I think my mind went blank during the whole competition.

 

can it beat BRIDGE club? TRUE geekiness. it actually came in handy - played a lot of cards in college like spades.

 

We should put together a spades night! That would be sweet!

 

hearts, spades, sure... I'm down... what about bones, baby??? *slam* domino bizatch!!!

 

HAHA, I read about this movie but had no idea it was set at Arcadia HS till I saw this post. When I met my wife she was going there and I would always make fun of the tough "Arcadia Homies" whenever I would go see her. Compared to the HS I went to it was a country club! well, who knows maybe alots changed in ten years.

 

i want to see it just cause i love independant films, and good kids gone bad.

 

hello..powerpuff...here's your 10 points.

And you wonder why we joke about you getting a private room with someone.

Hey, what year were you class of? Im 98', back then..it was already pretty messed up.

 

why the heck is everyone on this board from arcadia
and why can i see 3-5 Zs a day locally but matix is the only one local on the boards

 

Because Arcadia is an hour drive away from Riverside?
I do see more and more Zs around, at least one a day. And theres a Redline 2 blocks away from my house.
