What's so awful about being 'pro-Jesus'? As in pro-loving your enemies, pro-giving to the poor, pro-forgiveness? Are these now considered bad things?

Whoops! You're probably right. I assumed that the topic was about participation in an overall adaptation rather than whether an actor specifically portrayed an adapted character. Plus, I just wanted to see if anyone else remembered Dormer's blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo in 'Captain America'.

Why is Sophie Turner's upcoming appearance as 'Jean Grey' in X-Men: Apocalypse mentioned, but not Benedict Cumberbatch in Doctor Strange and Natalie Dormer in Captain America: The First Avenger?

I think his rationale was the same as many white people's. If one black person says it's 'okay' (in this case Whoopi, who he was dating at the time) then everyone else must be 'okay' with it.

Nothing in Made in America, as awful as it truly is, can be worse than the whole black-face Whoopi Goldberg Roast debacle during the same year.

No, but in Hollywood clearly great minds think alike, or is it fools seldom differ…?

How about that Walking With Dinosaurs movie from a couple of years ago, that took a much acclaimed BBC television documentary series and wisely replaced all the education and the dinosaurs' majesty with comic voice-overs and fart jokes?

Is there anyone who saw the first Land Before Time when it came out (1988) who has religiously kept up with the franchise ever since?

I think the fact that Jurassic Park was going to be released two weeks later is exactly why they slapped on the whole dinosaur mythology.

Not much of a disguise though, these days…

Don't tell anyone but I have that movie on DVD. *Shhhh*

Bearing in mind some of the things Hopper ("I made a picture called Super Mario Bros., and my six-year-old son at the time asked why I did the movie: 'So that so you could have shoes,' and he said, 'Dad, I don't need shoes that badly.'”) and Hoskins ("worst thing I ever did") said about 'Super Mario Bros' I'm not sure…

Now I really want to see a von Trier dinosaur movie. I take it that the extinction of the dinosaurs will serve as a vicious metaphor for the decline of the USA, and a female dinosaur will spend the entire movie being perpetually abused by predators.

Bear in mind this is also the same Whoopi who was willing to appear in 'Bogus', 'Eddie', 'The Associate' and most notoriously of all, 'An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood, Burn' during the following couple of years. I think by that stage of her career "half-ass it and hope it dies" was her entire professional…

I'd absolutely love to see Ridley Scott finally win the Best Director Oscar. He's one of the few big-name filmmakers of his generation who have yet to win, and a win would be as much for a career that encompasses Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise and Gladiator, as it would be for the massive success of The Martian…

This isn't a typical Sandler movie though. This was one of Sandler's occasional bids for critical respect, as per Punch-Drunk Love and Spanglish, and yet it turned out to be even more savaged than his usual lowest-common-denominator gross-out fare.

No mention of the amusing fact that the director of this POS is, according to some Oscar-observers, the current front-runner to win this year's Best Director Academy Award.

"an actual decent director"

What's not genuine about giving a damn about unarmed black civilians being shot by police officers? Maybe some of those people aren't as liberal as you and I, and perhaps they are the type who keep, unfortunately, schtum during more casual, everyday incidents of racism, but you don't have to be Malcolm X to see that…
