All the people arguing on this thread in the most strong and wrong way imaginable must not realize a few things. One, more than one movie has been made about MJ all using black actors. Two, light skinned actors can be lightened to his shade using makeup without a lot of problems (see Halle Berry in Alex Haley’s…

No, the only way they could cast someone who looks like MJ did is not to cast a white person who looks nothing like him. It’s to cast the palest Black actor they can find and go from there. Anyone who plays him will have to be heavily made up and use prosthetics and maybe even special effects. There are no actors of…

Let’s make this movie the clusterfuck it is destined to be. Joseph as Michael Jackson, Angela as Elizabeth Taylor and Fat Joe as Marlon Brando. I’m just riffing here but there’s so much potential to make this movie even more of a hot flaming mess.

A Black person with vitiligo isn’t white, the same way a Black albino isn’t white. MJ wasn’t white. He was a Black man whose skin was drastically lightened (either by vitiligo or bleaching) and who had drastic plastic surgery. The same way Zoe Saldana can wear prosthetics on her nose and mouth while wearing blacker…

That's good Kinja.

If that’s the case, they should hire Rachel Dolezal as a consultant.

Your comment is bad. You should feel bad for making such a bad comment. You Internet very badly.

I just really enjoyed their friendship and can’t imagine someone taking her place. I don’t like the idea that their business relationship ended either. It was a great character too. She was funny and caring.

Ok, what are everyone’s hopes for the characters? Here are mine:

Is anyone else super bummed that Melissa McCarthy can’t do this but has done a gazillion seasons of Mike and Molly

Truth.

i could be misremembering but i think they’re acting like the last season didn’t happen.

Just like The X-Files, this is a continuation of the original series, not a reboot.

This! Up until about 5 years ago, I was in the pro-switching camp, for the usual, crappy reasons: my mother did it to me, it didn’t kill or scar me, it’s not abuse, yada yada yada. I can’t remember where, but this line of reasoning was finally introduced to me; the point of parenting is to help mold little humans into…

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain black text, and lose his own soul?

Quartz! Go with the Quartz!

That’s why I love our ped. Someone once called while we were in the office, begging for the doc to see her toddler, who had a fever and a rash. They were not current patients. The doctor said “are your children vaccinated?” And when she said no, our ped said “sorry, I can’t see you. I can’t endanger kids in my…
