I was scanning the news the other day and ran across something that made my heart start beating faster. The creator of such comical wonders as Old School and The Hangover, Todd Phillips, recently let it slip that The Hangover 2 is in the works and it will be filmed in freakin’ Thailand!!!!
I’ve shown The Hangover to a lot of Thai friends and while most Western comedy doesn’t go down well here due to the language barrier and many jokes about pop culture not translating well but I’ve yet to meet a Thai that wasn’t laughing hysterically at the movie. It’s still one of the biggest sellers with all of the pirate DVD sellers (which officially don’t exist because, well, you know, the government is cracking down on pirated movies and music here . . . sorry, I can’t even type that with a straight face).
I can’t wait until they start filming.

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.
