[ Part 1 of this video is here: http://youtu.be/SFzAoQ01rKU ]

Playwright/performer Prince Gomolvilas bitch-slaps the movies "21" and "The Last Airbender." This monologue is one of the central pieces in JUKEBOX STORIES, a storytelling, song-singing, bingo-playing, theatrical extravaganza starring Prince Gomolvilas and musician Brandon Patton. However, this video was captured at Customs & Departures: An Evening With Thai-American Writers, an event organized by PEN Center USA and the Master of Professional Writing Program at the University of Southern California, where he also teaches.

Loved hearing this in my class recently. Quite perfect, since I'm using the book/film in an essay I'm writing...

Perfect combination of laughter and truth. :]

[gOtHiCxAnGeLxox]

He totally tells it like it is. He's brilliant! ^^

[iansa53]

hes too good! LOL!

[thundercatsroar]

they also mispronounced aang's name as "ong" the whole entire movie....that right there is TRULY unacceptable. i mean c'mon! there was a freakin show about it! HOW CAN YOU MISPRONOUNCE THE MAIN CHARACTER'S FIRST NAME?! m. night shamalamon is a total fail and should stop making movies.

[ElleWayland25]

Hahahaha this was awesome. I definitely needed a laugh while studying for my final. It's sad that it's so true, but at least we can laugh while trying to change it.

All of the brown people were waterbenders, Inuits (BTW, "Eskimo" is basically the Inuit version of "nigger" so now you know)! All of the villains were white Japanese not middle eastern people who are already a common national enemy of most people who will ever watch this movie.

@aznperson84 Now "not the amount they wanted" can only be confirmed if you know exactly how much they wanted, and it does not mean that they made no profit even if it's not as high as they'd hope. But what's the point in arguing that point? Who cares?

Now pay close attention. I DON'T want to have a discussing about this. My focus is on other things. I'm not worrying myself with this anymore. I'm letting go of the past and embracing the future and I would like to do so in peace. THANK YOU!

[Axxidous]

@aznperson84 No you're not. Your'e offering me repetition. I don't want to go through what I've already gone through when it leads to the same place. Furthermore, you cannot be the judge of whether or not these arguments are bias as one being bias would automatically consider their argument right and non-bias to justify their argument. It makes sense, but it's not worth ME getting into.

If you want to consider me bias for not wanting to talk about this BS and just move on already, whatever.

[aznperson84]

@Axxidous now you're just going off on a tangent. i'm OFFERING you real evidence and testimony. not biased attacks but actual facts and data. but you're not even willing to look at it. and now you're trying to sign off because you don't want to hear it. who's the real biased one here? and where is this evidence that you claim confirms that there wasn't racist casting?

and FYI it hasn't made a profit yet. at least not the amount they wanted anyway.
