It needs to be said: Zachary Knighton is perfectly cast as Rick in the Magnum P.I. reboot.

Ricardo Montalbán was first cast as Khan for the Star Trek TV series in 1967. Back then you would have to fly to Asia if you really wanted an South Asian actor. Completely impractical.

In other news, Cumberbatch confirmed that he will continue to take roles from South Asian actors. “I’m British,” he explained. “I can’t charge a land tax anymore, but at least I can do this.”

Why would anyone invite Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky to the same event?

You can’t criticize Batman Forever without at least mentioning its greatest sin: recasting Harvey Dent.

Transcribed. I don’t think she ranks them.

“Did she really make fresh bao?”

Remind me... which of these 3 guys played Tony Mendez in Argo?

You are right to snark. It’s a bad lead sentence, and I struggled with it as well.

It’s probably weak as far as theories go, but I wonder if Deja has been thinking about her biological father. This unknown person — to her and to us — that did not explicitly give up parental rights, and is still out there.

Sure: Gangs of New York and Being John Malkovich. Those are Oscar baity films, and she wasn’t playing herself in them, which I consider an attempt to act. (Whether she was good in those is subjective, but she got 2 of her 4 Golden Globe nominations for those films.)

My brain isn’t wired to notice an absence of names in a long list; I just process the names presented to me. To be honest, I don’t really understand how others can immediately notice that someone is being left out.

Not that Stone’s being cut out entirely; unlike her male counterpart, she’s still listed as a scheduled presenter, although it’s not clear which category she’ll be gracing with her blessedly non-Casey-Affleck presence.

FYI: he chose Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross, Curtis Mayfield, Lionel Richie, and Philip Bailey.

Transcribed without volume. I assume no particular order:

Plus, he’s a great role model for the kids to emulate.

To me, Tala Ashe still looks a lot like Anna Hopkins, another actress of the Arrowverse who played Samantha, Oliver Queen’s baby mama. The fact that one was leaving as the other was arriving didn’t help matters.

If this film happens, I hope it’s good, but William Sadler has a built-in excuse if it’s bad:

What is up with the photo at the top? Is it even a photo, or one of those photo illustrations? I thought this was another Toy Chest collectibles crossover post, though I have no idea why someone would market a Karen Kilgariff action figure. 

A few months ago TV Line had an interesting article/rant about how, in recent years, SNL had developed some anti-TV snobbery when selecting hosts. Of the few TV stars that do get to host, most are there to promote a big movie anyway.
