I think that was a feature, not a bug. It was supposed to be the wrong to say because young Charles, for all his good heart and idealism, was kind of a privileged twit.

She was like, eight, so I hope not!

I think you'd be surprised how resistant to change even the less hardcore can be.

Hey, I mean, in all fairness to Shooter, even at his worst (Secret Wars II) he was still a better writer than Jemas. Also, if anything, Shooter was too much of a traditionalist, while Jemas was kind of slash and burn in his tactics.

Nah, according to Rowling there was no real component to "magical genes". As a matter of fact, it was mentioned that blood-supremacy was pretty stupid because marrying outside wizards keeps the magical population from dying off or interbreeding (Which is shown to have a debilitating effect)

Also, something to keep in mind is that while the UK is getting more diverse, that would largely be amongst immigrants and the younger population, right? I imagine aside from the main three characters, most of the dialogue would be spoken by the older members of the cast. (Some of whom would be playing characters that…

I don't know. I do think diversity in filmmaking is extremely important, but it seems people are putting the onus on foreign, kind of defunct franchises instead of supporting fresher ones. I mean,, an ode to British boarding schools and Arthurian myth is white as fuck. You don't say? I'm not saying that this isn't a…

That was kind of a no-win situation, since the character seemed to exist to show what a dumbass Ron was for not just asking Hermione out.

That's actually kind of been a sticking point with me as I've seen these complaints pop up. Like, on one hand, I think films should be more diverse, on the other, asking other, whiter countries to be more multicultural whiffs of imperialism.(And yes, I know they're technically made by an American studio, but Rowling…

It comes down to a few factors, not just "Brits care more about talent, less about looks."

"I think "Why would Christopher Walken do this?" is the most rhetorical of all questions.

You know, on the TV vs film debate, and whether film has been subsequently eclipsed in relevance and popularity.

I still, despite wishes to the contrary, hear people make jokes that a something-within-a-something is a blankception, so I don't think it's fallen out of the cultural consciousness yet.

A lot of people bring up the Office, and I think the the intense fandom (Jamdom?) is probably why the romantic comedy venue is attractive to a lot of showrunners right now, but Jim and Pam were not the main character for the show. (And technically, were billed after Wilson) And boy did people kvetch when they finally…

It depends on the comedian. A lot of crowdwork style comedians actually do very well with women, regardless of looks. Usually high energy types, too. Not necessarily Woody Allen's character, but I can imagine a working comic seeing another comic doing well outside his "range" and thinking it's natural/just a matter of…
