Why? He wasn't a little person.

RDJr's version was great.

5’5”... would have guessed smaller. Buster Keaton was 5’5” too. How I thought Chaplin was a little person I don’t know, but my fault.

And in that frame of mind (which I now know is incorrect!) I thought the momentum was right for Dinklage to do that coming off of GOT.

Introduced my 15 yr old son to Spike Lee’s Malcolm X & the James Baldwin doc I Am Not Your Negro this weekend. He liked both a lot...

Watched No Country For Old Men for like the 4th time, with a friend last night (since they never saw it).

Anton Chigurh is one of my favorite villains of all time.

Finally watched Green Room for the first time last night. ****ing brutal. Story wasn't as fast paced as I'd expected, which was a pleasant surprise. Helped build the sense of dread and tension, having the band seemingly with no ways to escape. Solid little thriller. Everyone was great in their role; Sir Patrick was cold as ice and stole the show. Will need to check out Blue Ruin next.

Solid 6/8 for the slow-burn thriller/horror genre.

hollywood doesn’t give minorities enough opportunities as it is but I hate it when they don’t cast appropriately... Like Scarlett Johansson in ghost in a shell & now we got corny will smith in this live action Aladdin... Do better.

 

[|A-Man|]

Well what minority was the genie suppose to be?

Its a fictional thing.

Just the other day I saw a blue genie on a show played by a black chick.

Its like saying Santa has to be white.

 

[max powers]

I always thought he was native, based on what little hair and attire he has. Robin Williams voice aside.

I feel your pain, however I never thought of a ethnicity for the genie. Personally I would think the genie could change his nationality at will.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

I’m mean the premise of the Aladdin story takes place in a specific region... ya’ll need to at least do your googles before you speak on topics...

DAMN didn't think it was so serious.

Looks mad weird man. Trailer looks like trash cgi too. Not sure if I’m gonna peep this.

Definitely have the C/D team working on the CGI. The opening scene with the rock doesn't look up to 93 Jurassic Park levels.

I was thinking the same thing. Like this looks like it was made pre-Jurassic Park CGI. They better be working on that ASAP

Dude seriously walking right towards a terrible green screen.

 

[everysingletime]

Idk man. Complaining that genie isn't middle eastern is like complaining like Goku wasn't japanese is like complaining a robot wasn't asian. Doesn't make sense. None of these roles have to be tied to a specific ethnicity.

Would be the dragon in mulan have to be Chinese?

OK. So Scarlett played Major in ghost in the shell. Everyone complained about that. Where is this energy for Alita Battle Angel. The girl playing Alita isn't japanese either lol. If people are going to complain they should be consistent. Both movies have non Japanese actresses playing robots...

Twitter ****TING on Smith's take on the Genie rightfully so IMO.

You took Green Room to be a thriller/horror? I didn't get that vibe at all.

The irony of having Captain America in your avy spouting a view saying it's not racist. Oh well, I said my piece.
