That's not noteworthy.

Exactly. Because global warming is real but manbearpig isn't.

I'm sorry I'm not catching the reference. Is that like Easy Rider?

I mean, I agree that there is irrationality here, but let's not resort to name calling.

It happens to everyone.

That's absurd. EDIT: It's racist when they cast white people in place of people from other cultures that aren't white, like Gods of Egypt or that Emma Stone Hawaiian film or Breakfast at Tiffanys with Mickey Rooney. Just casting white people in itself is not racist.

We don't know that this is Thor extras, but if it is, Thor is already cast as white, so that should be obvious. If they were doing Heimdall extras, then they would need to be black.

But that's not how casting works. Dan Harmon had a whole bit about how when you cast a TV show unless you want all white people you have to cast by specific race. He talked about how they had Asian Annie day and Black Annie day and Latina Annie day, and that's how he got a more diverse cast. If the director…

No it doesn't, unless every time there is a casting for a specific race you ask that question.

Why would that be the case: "the “Caucasian-looking” part of the description is bound to raise some eyebrows". Casting calls often cast based on physical appearance.

Yes. As far as I know they have never given their opinion on global warming publicly. And if you listen to the creator commentary, they really don't touch on the subject at all. They thought he made a shitty film, and they wanted to make a really silly episode, and that's pretty much it: http://southpark.cc.com/cli…

Except its not. It's an episode poking fun at Al Gore. You can believe in global warming without liking Al Gore, and they just don't like Al Gore.

They have dips and valleys. Seasons 15 and 16 were pretty weak, and then Season 17 seemed to be going that way but had some really strong episodes and then 18 and 19 killed it, they were super good. It's hard to give you a consistent look at South Park.

They've never really been strictly a "both sides are bad" philosophy. They have often done "both sides have problems", but that doesn't mean creating an equivalency. Usually by the end of the episode after they have shown what they think the issues are with both sides, they will pick a side.

I guess I don't tend to think of puns and one liners as a "personality". He can be charming depending on the actor playing him, but I find Bourne empathetic because Matt Damon adds a lot of pathos to the character.

Dude, just stop. You either haven't read the Odyssey, or remember it very poorly. He doesn't kill the Cyclops, he blinds him, and either way, after successfully escaping he yells out his real name in act of arrogance that gets Poseidon pissed at him. Also, many of the participants managed to get home safely, and a…

Sure, in the one example of the Trojan Horse, which isn't in either the Iliad or the Odyssey. In every part of the Odyssey, it's him facing a situation where there isn't a problem and then making it into one. The whole thing starts because he unnecessarily pissed off the Cyclops, who is Poseidon's son, and then…

When we read those in school, it was almost 100% the opposite. Achilles is much more empathetic because he actually has people he cares about, like Patroclus. Odysseus says he wants to come home to his wife, but he spends seven years with Calypso, gets his whole crew killed because of his arrogance, and is generally…

This film basically ruined Bond for me. It does almost everything the opposite of what Bond would do, and nails it so well. It gets rid of any romantic possibilities by killing off Marie and then having him scare the shit out of Nicky. It breaks Bourne down piece by piece, first emotionally and then physically. Him…

I can't tell if this is a joke or not cause the The Odyssey is Odysseus being even more of a dick and getting away with it.
