Re: the Martian, I got a real kick out of Benedict Wong’s performance. A lot of people think the Chinese angle was shoehorned in to test well in China, but it was in the novel.

Or Jane Shaft.

So you don’t have an actual articulable point about the George Lucas story, just fuck anyone who pushes back against your bad tempered ignorant ranting?

The backlash against Adam Sandler began decades ago. He still gets to make movies. You seem to be under the impression that I like Adam Sandler or something (I did in Punch Drunk Love). Perhaps English is not your first language? In any case you are a bit of a hothead.

Me too, but I’m mystified as to why a movie file would been encoded in text.

its okay if you’re just a fackin cant.

Is she sane? Democrat.

also vote for Hillary because they will put a hammer and sickle over Bernies face in the election and we will end up with President Trump and they will break the seventh seal and sound the trumpets.

Beautiful.

All I’ll say is after Dick Cheney went in for a “Heart Operation” Hillary went in for an operation. And ever since then I’ve never seen them in a room together at the same time.

there’s even a graph

yeah it was a letdown. They should do more black WW2 movies though, such a whitewashed bit of history. France stationed a lot of black French troops in the Ruhr just prior to WW2. It caused a stink in Nazi Germany (obviously). There’s definately a (French) movie in that. But I guess most people wouldn’t even know…

To be fair can you imagine if they considered doing a remake of Shaft as a white dudebro?

yep, well said. Keep going to see Transformers if you want to see more Transformers. Want more Diversity? Watch more diverse stuff.

“Hollywood should make more diverse projects, especially sinceMagic Mike XXL was arguably the only major film that comes close to fitting that description?”

Blacks are 12.6% of the American population, and 10% of Oscar nominations since 2000 have gone to black actors. Other minorities get nothing like the (slightly less than )fair shake black actors do. If anyone should be boycotting the oscars its Latinos.

Blacks are 12.6% of the American population, and 10% of Oscar nominations since 2000 have gone to black actors. Will Smith owned the box office for a decade. There’s racism everywhere, but only a little and not more so in Hollywood than anywhere else. This Boycott the Oscars lark is a bunch of bullshit. And “white…

Also “I think it’s interesting that you picked a movie made by a white guy that no one saw to make an overarching point about diversity in movies.”

And yet, knowing Abu Dhabi more people probably died on this job than on the uncompleted Death Star in ROTJ.

“The entertainment-seeking public is actually pretty fucking liberal and we want to see new stories, new faces, new everything”
