Those are indeed options. The day women stop voicing their opinions about others in Hollywood is the day you can expect men to do the same. Not a day sooner. If Knightley had crapped on him years after the fact, nobody would have protested here, quite the opposite, this would have been testament to yet another case of…

In an interview with The Independent, director John Carney spoke about the process of making his 2014 film Begin Again.

So, what he should have done is giving an interview where he spouted the usual Hollywood bs, about every actor he worked with being amaaaazing!!? Instead he gives his honest assessment about the cast and his unique experiences with them. These are not the experiences that other directors had with these particular…

Pointing to the fact, that Allen has never been charged of any crime isn’t “simply highlighting” something. It’s not a nuisance or a mere technicality, it’s essential when comparing Allen to Polanski. One has been tried and convicted in a court of law, the other has been accused.

I did. His new wife describes him as handsome, brilliant an amazing. You showed his picture, apparently to refute her characterization. Something about beauty being in the eye of the beholder? A man describing his wife as beautiful, no matter how old and wrinkled she may be and you wouldn’t have dared to do the same…

So you are replying to comments I made tosomeone else and when I reply to you, I’m ‘invested’ and/or ‘trolling’? Nice! The question still remains, why a female character can’t /shouldn’t be changed to a male character, while James Bond is fair game, as far as his gender and ethnicity are concerned, since both…

That’s not a defense, that’s merely a fact.

So to you, there isn’t much difference between a court of law and the court of public opinion, if there is any difference at all. Some would call that a lynch party mentality.

No, I don’t.

OMG, Scotland to this day is 96% caucasian and Switzerland might be even whiter (Bond’s father is Scottish, his mother is from Switzerland). That’s like saying the child of 2 sub-saharan African parents might just as well be white. Outside of South Africa, that’s just highly unlikely. The Hunger Games world would…

Yes, let’s judge politicians by their looks. Every *male* politician that is.

I’m sure social media would stay absolutely calm and rational about a Hunger Games reboot with a male main character. Logic and reason are the main characteristics of any fandom group /s

if the Bond series employs a black lead actor or actress next, it wouldn’t be the first or even last time a movie didn’t adapt a novel verbatim.

I was replying to a comment that basically said Katniss must be a woman because it’s in the books. So if we have to stay true to the authors ideas, Katniss is a woman and Bond is certainly a man, most likely caucasian. Scotland is still 96% white and Switzerland may be one of the whitest countries in the world. Btw, I…

So, you believe that just because something happens more to one group of people then to the other group, the latter and its problems ceases to exist and shall not be named?

Gifs - when you have nothing of value to say, yet want to chime in regardless.

Let’s see - James Bond is described as the son of a Scottish father and a Swiss mother in the books. Sounds like a white man to me, doesn’t it? Yet, many people want the new Bond to be either black or a woman (or maybe both). So, when do we have to stay true to what the author had in mind and when can we come up with…

Hell yeah, that’s a novel idea! Thank you!

It doesn’t affect me at all. I’m not campaigning against this reboot. I simply won’t watch it. I didn’t even downvote the trailer on youtube. I just find it strange, that every negative remark about this reboot is seen as pure and unadultered sexism per se.

She looks surprised: “I think originally Paul had written me as that part and then he switched, so she could have been white, Hispanic... It was truly just a coincidence.”
