21 (2008) is the first in the YCU (Year Cinematic Universe) with its sequels '1917' (2019) and '2012' (2009). However unlike its sequels, controversially none of the film takes place in the year in the title.
"See, you are not understanding. Since Tobey's character is Canon in the MCU, that means Spider-Man (2002) is the first MCU film and not Iron Man (2008)."

This is Nicolas Cage, the actor who played great roles in The Rock, Face/Off, Raising Arizona, and Lord of War. He believed Hoomz Always Go Up, went all in on RE speculation, and was financially destroyed in 2008. Then he had to play in crap films to recover from ruin. Don't be like Nicolas Cage.

Jeff Ma, a Chinese American and the inspiration behind the 2008 film "21" about a group of MIT students who beat casinos at blackjack worldwide, would rather have a white actor play him than someone who was Japanese or Korean. He stated that he would have been "a lot more insulted" by that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21_…

[TOMT][MOVIE] foreign film, from 2008+/-
I feel like I’m going crazy trying to remember a film I saw about 10 years ago. It’s extremely strange, very dreamlike. The only plot bits I can remember have to do with a woman going on some journey, it’s very mind-fucky & dystopian. She has to cross a huge bridge but can’t breathe while she crosses it, & she ends up I think slipping & gasps, & some huge thing on the bridge senses her breath. She descends into some red/bloody canal-esq thing(?), it’s revealed that she had an abortion that she’s kind of forced to confront. I can’t really remember anything else, I think it might be Japanese though. Someone please help, I feel like I’m recalling a fever dream

TIL that the writer's of the film 21(2008) were surprised to gain finance by MGM studios (whom at the time were connected to MGM Resorts) as they saw this as a lure to get people into casinos and play, attempting to count cards but failing to learn or memorize the entire strategy or making mistakes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21_…

Like so many American remakes, the 2008 American remake of the Japanese 1989 "Iron Man" film completely misses the point of the original and unnecessarily westernizes it
