Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

but even if the second book wasnt out that revealed the race of the character

if he left it so vague in the first book

wouldnt you ask if he had any ideas about the race of the character?

out of general p's and q's?

and furthermore to default to white with "no knowledge"

is problematic

before it even gets to the screenwriting process

No.

Its Hollywood. You option your book to be made in to a movie and you got vague character descriptions 9 times out of 10 you're getting an all white cast and definitely a white protagonist. Unless they're getting on their Captain Planet grind.

That's been the reality. And the reality has been more than problematic.

In Hollywood, as a creator, you have to fight for your creative vision.

so you agree cool

Man. Robin was declined a lot of roles.
Joker and now Hagrid, I think even riddler

Robin would've been a great Joker.

His role on that SVU ep and in that movie where he was the guy that develops your picture at the store.

Son would've been menacing.

so you agree cool

I don't agree with the naivety

Black Panther was AMAZING. I don't even care or feel like listing any sort of small gripes, the movie was great and I enjoyed every second, all that matters.

I tweeted this earlier

Venom, Flash, Dr Strange sequel, don't matter, I am in. Blu Rays for all of em. GI Joe 3, Transformers 96, whatever. Far as I'm concerned, this is a golden age of movies in terms of the spectacle of them. I know there's a lot of misses, and things get clustered up, but I'm eating them all up, happily.

I can't imagine where we'll be in 10 years, what my collection is going to look like. But I'm excited for it.

Black Panther 7.6/8

Should've been 6 hours. My only "complaint".

Movie got me feeling so positive but very reflective of a lot of issues at the same damn time that were brought back up for me to double down on.

 

[stuntman mike]

i'm hearing only good things about black panther. my wife and i really wanna go badly. gotta find a sitter or just bring my son.

 

[...So]

[calibeebee]

Really?

Thought this was common knowledge...

I didn't know this either. I thought they were mad cool there. I had heard it was kinda like Utah, where black folk are so rare, they are just baffled by a dark skinned person. Word to this

Don't forget.

Catch it after the all-star festivities.

Really?

Thought this was common knowledge...

All the stereotypes about Canada are that their nice ppl to a fault.

Outside of historical racism I was not up on modern day (80s to now) racism by Canadians. All of that racism caught me off guard and before it was made clear its set in Canada I was trying hard to figure out where in (the northern region of) America is this taking place

 

[...So]

Nobody should be really...

QFT

 

[Master Zik]

A few acquaintances from various provinces I met years+ ago put that farce to a halt ( overly friendly, etc.) and told me what the deal was... I wasn't shocked in the least. Nobody should be really...

I wasn't shocked just caught off guard a movie was made around that but I just don't know any Canadians irl to put me on and don't really care about the place to independently read up on it.

Also if Canada is basically void of black ppl like in China or Sweeden then I'm more curious about where this is taking place in Canada.

But it makes sense why it was made since a black Canadian was the director.

Watched Boyhood for the first time last night. What a trip. Great movie. All types of feels

 

[shotimesheff]

BLACK PANTHER is amazing. This is the first villain in a long time I sympathized with. I can't wait to see it a few more times.

 

[Master Zik]

Only name I recognize is Bokeem's.

Seems like they blew their load with the more known actors in Paradox.

a much better movie about maine than that trash manchester by the sea

Manchester by the Sea was set in Massachusetts genius.

And it wasn't about the area it took place in anyway.

 

[hand2handking]

get off

 

[Master Zik]

Smarten up.

Manchester by the Sea isn't the type of movie for all tastes, but to call it trash is a gross over exaggeration. Casey Affleck really killed that role.
