DISQUS

The big O · 3 years ago

Haven't seen it, won't see it due to the fact that Josh Harnett is just a face and couldn't act his way out of a paper bag, and for the fact that Morgan Freeman is just taking another token role i.e. Batman (that was just bad, they damn near made up a character just so that wouldn't be the whitest movie ever). I liked it but really with out Morgan there were NO poeple of color in that film, not even extras, I mean goddamn you could only do that on purpose.

Hey, Big O, I thought skin color wasn't supposed to matter.

Lucy Liu isn't a person of color? I mean, if we're going to be technical and all...

Lucy Lui has done her best Borg impersonation, can we say assimilate. Talk about selling out, I mean c'mon. Matthew, gimmie a fuckin break dude. If it doesn't matter, than how come Hollywood can't cast people of color in traditional white roles, If for nothing else than to make up for blackface and casting white people to play mexicans and native americans in old black and white westerns. Case in point The stupid ass Narnia movies, when I was in elementary we did the L,W, W, as a play, I played the oldest brother (peter I think) an asian american girl played lucy (she stole the shoe by the way). Why can't hollywood follow suit??? Why do I have to take my seven year old son to that movie and have him look over at me in the movies and ask "Dad, how come there's no brown people in this movie"??? There is a link to Rotten tomatoes at the bottom of this page and if you go to it you can find a discussion about who should play the Joker in the next Batman flick. Notice that the only sugesstion of a black actor is some stupid joke. But why not??? Honestly, why isn't a black actor talented enough to even get a mention. In Tim Burtons Batman, Harvey Dent is played by Billy Dee Williams, Harvey Dent is Two-Face, so why when they had Two-Face in the movie was it Tommy Lee Jones?????? What is wrong with casting people of color to play traditional white roles?????? Why????? Why in a make believe movie like Lord of the Rings when none of us have been to Middle-Earth and none of us know what the people there look like is there an ALL WHITE cast???? Another point, in the dumbest movie ever Fight Club, I laughed my ass off the whole way, it was like a white mans fantasy, a world where you can back alley brawl with the absense of black, hispanic, and asian fighters, of course white guys are gonna win in that situation. But make that movie realistically (we all watch boxing and kung-fu movies and we all know who the best fighters on the planet are) and include people of color and I honestly don't think Brad and Ed are gonna get out of the first round, sorry, but you put in some gangsta ass folks from some serious rough neighborhoods and add in some martial artists and white guys are gonna be relegated to the sidelines seriously. So here's to Hollywood continuing to make their white-washed films (the last Samurai starring guess what, a white guy, was so insulting to me and I'm not even Japanese) and I honestly hope that they can do what Paul Mooney suggested and make a movie called 'The Last Nigga on Earth' starring Tom Hanks, so that I can laugh my fuckin ass off. White people nowadays are suffering from extreme delusions of grandeur. Sorry this is so long, but belive you me, it could have been much longer.

If they made a movie out of Paul Mooney's idea, you would have to write a guest review on it for us Big O.

So, in other words, skin color matters to you?
