ScarJo has decent cheekbones, but not widely spaced eyes or a flat face. She a prominent brow and a large nose.

That’s an old Japanese man and a young Japanese woman. It’s obvious she’s Japanese from frontal shots. Widely spaced eyes, flaring cheekbones, flat face. She has been clearly Asiatic in every iteration of the anime. She just has different colored eyes (blue or purple, depending on the version) and hair (again, dark…

While Heisserer deserves credit for maintaining the essentials of the story, the script was not very good. The dialogue was awful. It’s one of those annoying movies that relies on people illogically staying quiet or speaking cryptically to create faux drama, when they could simply explain themselves. This is more…

This is really disgusting: celebrating the use of violence against a man whose only ‘crime’ is speaking. You should be ashamed.

I’d really like to see a show where everyone is asexual and nobody ever hooks up or gets into relationships or even talks about the absence of sex or relationships. I bet most people wouldn’t even notice. They’d just think, “Wow, this shows lead characters are way less annoying than the lead characters on every other…

Parents and baby look Asian while the boy looks white though.

Movies are pretty bad. He’s right about that. In particular, they have very lazy script writing. But he got one of the most notoriously lazy script writers to write Prometheus and added to the glut of lazily written movies, so he should shut up.

Is there some reason why Japan sucks so much at live action movie making, beyond a handful of auteurs?

This just isn’t true. Or rather, it’s only true if you don’t know how to write villains and so you have to keep introducing new ones because you ruined the previous ones. But it’s possible to write villains well with solid motivations and have them involved in everything that happens week after week without inducing…

China’s completely cool with Tibetan actors/singers/performers and Tibetan culture being featured in their own media though. I can’t see this being a problem. The bigger problem would if the ‘Free Tibet’ movement used it as a platform to protest, which is likely the real reason they avoided it, because they wouldn’t…

Brannon Braga will end up running this show. Mark my words.

It’s a crappy B-movie knock-off in the vein of all the crappy B-movie knock offs America produces, not a major movie.

It’s only streaming, isn’t it? Not actually network television.

They have widely set eyes, flat faces, flaring cheekbones and small noses, like NE Asians. For whatever reason, white people don’t have a good idea of what white people look like, and ignore all that and get obsessed with the fact that they have big eyes (which isn’t a distinguishing feature of white people, so this…

I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I’ve read the story. I don’t know how they differ, so this might contain spoilers for stuff that’s in the story that isn’t in the movie. The important point in the story is that, first of all, there is one time-line and knowledge of the future can’t somehow change the past, but…

Yeah, this is why I didn’t like her casting from the start. She can’t do this kind of role, it’s not within her range. There are at least two dozen actresses who’d have been more suited to the role, but they wanted to that Marvel fan money.

Man, I just want this thing to be over so I don’t have to read any more ignorant comments about how Asians want to look white.

You can turn David S. Pumpkins into a gif.

The ending is the whole point of the story. It can’t be more ‘active’ and not be the same story. I have pretty low expectations for Hollywood keeping it the same though, if only because Hollywood has never shown any capacity to appreciate a more nuanced understanding of time.

I didn’t know the original story but Samuel L Jackson and his anti-jumper cult were what ruined the movie for me. Would’ve been great if it’d just been about the kid discovering his abilities. I think it’d make a better television show than a movie though, so you could slowly build it up.
