Exactly why good poker movies aren't made, zero support.

I believe ban request was for posting something that was

[ ] news
[ ] views
[ ] gossip
[ ] substantive
[ ] something we don't already all know about

It's opening in limited release: NY, LA, Philly and one other city. Better chance is to wait until it comes out on DVD.

"The Banned"

This movie looks terrible and has already gotten largely horrendous reviews.

Hey thanks for that, I was hoping it would come to my area but I guess not....I couldn't find much info for it.

To the guy saying horrendous reviews, I'm quite sure it wasn't reviewed by the poker community so I will give it a shot.

Looks alright, hopefully better than Deal was, that movie was horrendous.

I actually thought Lucky You was better than Deal, thats how bad it was.

^ Very relevant genious, someone eluded to having seen it so was asking if it was out on DVD.

"Alluded."

Sorry, but I only poke fun at spelling errors if they're used in the same sentence as "genious."

How is 8.6 on imdb w/ 132 votes horrendous? I haven't seen a single negative review for this film. Mockumentary is probably the best style for a poker film and I will definitely see this.

Take a 10 min break from your cynicism a few times a day, you will probably be a happier person.

Edit: Also 56% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Edit again: How is it cynicism? I think the movie looks like garbage.
