To follow up Sincere's lead, I found a couple of really interesting posts on
the casting of all Caucasian actors for the Last Airbender movie. I'm still a
bit stunned at what M. Knight has done. It's just so insulting. Three decades
since the silliness of Irish American David Carradine playing a
Keith, part of me wants to come to Night's defense and say that he's had this
casting shoved down his throat by the money men. But I can't see him taking
that lying down, and he hasn't said a word into any of this that I've seen.
Ergo, this one is now on the same list as The Movie About The Ship

I wondered that too, but one is forced to ask how somehow like M. Knight could
be bullied into taking such a cast? I know he's lost a lot of his cachet in
recent years, but still, he's not some rube right off the streets trying to
make his first film. This is inexcusable to me on any level.

Slumdog Millionaire is an artful mash up of Oliver Twist, East of

Wow. As Don King--who was inexplicably being interviewed on CNN last night for

there's any doubt Obama's black, just take a look at that car!) Evid

I can imagine the shame all too well. I did sit through the first ten minutes
of that piece of crap at a family get-together, and had to walk out on it, with
the rest of the family, including my 68-year-old mother laughing their a$$es
off. (Redefinition of "scary moment" for me.)

Here in Milwaukee "Slumdog" is only playing at Art Houses. I saw it
at an antiquated theater where I hadn't seen a first run movie since
Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown" played there in the last

I freely admit to having several Mistie moments during that movie. The only
reason that such a document doesn't exist for me to post is because I haven't
been able to find a good script to twist. I shall seek it with more diligence.

Nora, H'Wood only keeps track of gender stats for purposes of mass-market

Hey People
I've been working two jobs in the crushing economy to make ends meet. That
said, I set aside this weekend to get up to speed on BSG. I DVR'd the whole BSG
marathon on Friday and got caught up over the weekend. I'm curious if anyone
else even noticed it was on.
