"It is supposed to be about"?
This is a discussion board and my comments were directly related to the link you posted. Telling me to post to another thread because you don't agree with me was yes, rude. The thing is, you probably do agree with me and I know where you are coming from, we all would like to see a great pool movie. I have a feeling though from what they choose to use in the trailer this "straight to video effort" is most likely not it. We can only hope it is something better then the clip. Pool itself can't carry any movie it is just the backdrop to the another story and it's portrayal often very bad, to fit a stereotype.
It has nothing to do with the fact that I don't agree with you. It has to do with the fact that, like so many others, I am tired of people belittling others efforts with pesimism and criticism. Nothing done in pool is ever going to be perfect. There is always going to be a difference of opinion on image, rules, not enough funding, etc. I accept this, and agree to support people's efforts, even though they are not perfectly to my liking. Its a compromise.
This movie is the result of a lot of money and effort, and some of my friends and fellow forum members are in it. So rather than beat a dead horse and go on a huge tangent about pool's bad image, how about we just accept that this movie is going to be released, and choose to be supportive?
