Keanu was only cast because Warner and the Wachowski’s first choice Will Smith turned down the role because he didn’t understand the script. It was originally cast with Smith as Neo and Sean Connery as Morpheus (who also turned down the role because he didn’t understand the script.)
No offense to Luke Evans, but they should have cast the awesome Disney World Gaston from all of the Youtube videos in that role.
This is idiotic. Unprovoked police shootings of family dogs are a huge issue nationwide, as about ten seconds on the Internet are enough to show. Or type "police shoot dog" into Youtube if you want to be depressed all day. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2009/…
Here in Los Angeles, there was a regional sporting goods chain named Chick's that was actually bought out by Dick's. The jokes pretty much wrote themselves.
J.K. Rowling named her daughter after her personal hero, Jessica Mitford. She likely also modeled the Bellatrix Lestrange-Narcissa Malfoy-Andromeda Tonks sisters in the Potter books after the Mitfords.
Guatemalan-Cuban Oscar Isaac has been a lead in the film from the very beginning, yet never seems to be counted as diverse. Weird.
Didn't the Onion already cover this? http://www.theonion.com/articles/new-s…
You despise it when you make inflammatory statements and people ask you to actually back them up with evidence instead of taking the word of an anonymous person on the Internet? Nice to know.
The sad thing is that if she appeared in 2014 looking like that, casting directors would order her to lose 20 lbs. first.
And he conquered the rest of Europe by himself?
You have heard of that Napoleon guy, right?
Remember when people were accusing Will Smith of being a homophobe because this same guy tried to forcibly kiss him during a similar press junket?
What is that supposed to mean?
Seriously, I think we're only a few years out from actors in their 40s and 50s dropping dead from this kind of body abuse, the way professional wrestlers have been for the past decade or so.
The same thing is happening in Hollywood, as the entertainment press dutifully reports all of the stars' diet and exercise regimens while ignoring the near-impossibilities of a lot of those guys getting those bodies in a matter of weeks without serious juicing.
Awesome. So two wrongs really do make a right!
Abuse of steroids, HGH, and other PEDs has become an epidemic in Hollywood because of the pressure for everyone, even middle-aged and old dudes, to have action figure bodies, but whatever because you enjoy ogling ripped torsos.
The Avatar: the Last Airbender and Legend of Korra universe is an example of a world that integrates magic and technology with each other and portrays technology advancing over time and incorporating magic into how it works.
The comments are really interesting, too, especially those from friends and family of the victims who fill in parts of their lives outsiders otherwise wouldn't know about. Oftentimes the comments sections turn into little memorials to the dead.
