Wanna bet, @gus_sheridan:disqus ?

Have you ever seen any Laika movies, like Kubo and the Two Strings or Paranorman, @avclub-6c6094f256f51e83fe02bce6091163e7:disqus ? The studio uses stop-motion mostly, and accomplishes some amazing things with it.

::sigh:: Video Watchdog, one of the absolute best genre magazines ever, went under late last year, too - not that the AV Club did an article on it, sadly.

@CaliforniaEst96:disqus - actually, I did too…while completely acknowledging it was 100% USDA Prime Fan Service.

@Marah - Really, I could have gone the rest of my life without having to think about Trump's dick.

My point was that most Asian actors can learn to do "an Anglo accent", in the same way most Western actors do foreign accents, @the lies of minelli.

Oh, you mean like this (Southern) Asian actor, playing a Jewish Gangster in the recent The Great Gatsby…?

Uh - try a huge bunch, @disqus_766VZXnc61:disqus ? India, Japan and China have their own huge film industries with numerous stars - many of which have appreciative audiences here in the West. Maybe they're not "bankable" in the sense George Clooney or Scarlett Johannson or (apparently) Benedict Cumberbatch are, but…

I'd call them "Great", @shaunrichman:disqus but not "Best". "Best" would be a pie I could share with my wife, and we'd both be happy.

Ah, no, @weirdmagneticray:disqus - that would be P.F. Chang's.

It must not only be awful, but dull as dishwater, @disqus_80Jor4kFT0:disqus !

Two Boots is great, @Ess_Dog:disqus - a bit on the spicy side for people like my wife, but I love them. I used to love Ray's of Greenwich Village back before its storefront on 11th and 6th in the Village got priced out of existence, because it was generous with the cheese and the crust was still baked through - but…

Heh, @saintpaulitheapaulistle:disqus - I had to look up the context first!

@jamesoleyden:disqus - hardly. I'm a lifelong Sherlockian - and I still prefer Jonny Lee Miller's portrayal!

@avclub-7d640ca825f963b9fc36e0857c0b39e5:disqus - the difference is, you can be as bigoted as you want, and Nobody Outside of a Few Internet Posters (us) Will Fucking Care.

@jamesoleyden:disqus - Balderdash Cummingmuffins has has fandom money…?

@Satan:disqus - yeah. It's not as if China isn't the second biggest boxoffice outside of the US, and Japan's right up there in fourth place as well!

@avclub-7d640ca825f963b9fc36e0857c0b39e5:disqus - no, it's not, because basically it's the same mindset that means Scarlett Johanssen doesn't get a solo Black Widow movie or a Lucy action franchise, despite both being major hits. It's Hollywood's Straight White Male mindset that can't see a White female action star,…

Dragon Seed, @avclub-920530cb8744c679e3a2ece84f1d5ce4:disqus - based on a Pearl S. Buck novel set during the Japanese occupation of China.

True, @jamesoleyden:disqus - I wasn't sure if you weren't just using "Fu Manchu" as "Generic Asian Supervillain" or as the character himself.
