American descent has little to do with whether or not someone is white.

Because, sadly, it's the white men in charge that need to be converted into hiring people of color to direct. This is a pretty big deal.

Your $12.50 is being direct deposited this afternoon.

Back in the 90s, a movie was considered a smash hit if it crossed the $100 million threshold. Breaking even at $300 million is not something that can be explained by inflation, which has actually be relatively low this century. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Well, they wouldn't have to do it to pander to an international market, but considering their HQ was above a Chinese restaurant, it was pretty glaring that there weren't even any Chinese extras around at that location. The only person from the restaurant was Karan Soni.

Yeah, even though I was the right age for the original, I only ever played the second one. The CD-ROM I had also had The Yukon Trail and The Amazon Trail, though I think I only bothered with The Yukon Trail.

The show seemed like a descendant of previous sketch shows on FOX, In Living Color and The Edge, in that it had a diverse group of people on both sides of the camera and also tended toward gross-out comedy.

I agree wholeheartedly. I'm just saying it could be done.

My thinking is that no matter what they did, they'd piss people on both sides off, so the better thing is to do it, take the hit, and keep introducing more gay characters so that such a character doesn't bear the burden of representation and everyone else gets used to it.

Cho requested that the husband be Asian.

There were a few lines in Beyond about the shields being taken down.
