Beauty and the Beast (1991)
But they don't play Americans, most of the time they will completely localize the story. That's what's so dumb about this movie.
I'm not so much bothered by the "whitewashing" as by the complete hypocrisy of Hollywood and SJW's like Scarlett Johansson. How about giving minority actors a chance with this movie, huh?
I agree that it's totally different if a sitcom uses "canned laughter" because it has no use whatsoever. But most sitcoms will claim they have a live studio audience and at the most sweeten the laugh track. Weren't MASH and The Love Boat like the last shows to use completely artificial laughter?
A bad idea, it's just a way to make ratings look more positive.
Terrible.
Karakter (1997)
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998)
The Room (2003)
She wants to know your address.
I agree, I hate today's sitcoms.
It's not about telling the audience when something is funny (although that is the purpose of sweetening the "laugh track"), it's about recreating the atmosphere of a theater audience. I think sitcoms with audience laughter and those without have totally different vibes. The interaction with the audience also lets the actors and writers know when a joke doesn't work or goes on for too long.
They do go "outside", it's just that it's also an indoor set. I actually hate it when on soaps they never go outside or the rooms don't have any windows. That really gives me a claustrophobic vibe.
Not as good as The English Patient. How could you not love that movie!
I love Eddie. He was crazy.
She said she's never wrong and you better do as she says or she'll give you a good whooping.
I did and she also said you should take it to the political boards.
I don't find him attractive, but he may be an exaggeration of what many women do find attractive. Tall, dark, well-built and a chiseled face. He looks too much like a caricature, though.
Beauty and the Beast. But I LOVE Aladdin.
What's racism?
I don't really care if it's whitewashing or not. It's an adaptation of a Japanese story by a country that's mostly white. Americans don't HAVE to cast a Asian actor if they don't want to, it's not their responsibility. The Japanese certainly don't bother casting white actors to play white characters. But there are two things I find stupid about casting non-Asians:
One, if you're going for a non-Japanese cast, then also change the names and location. Just make it a completely American story.
Two, considering all the blackwashing and whiny PC crap coming from Hollywood and specifically Scarlett Johansson, they're a bunch of hypocrites for making this film and defending it. Here's their opportunity to finally give some Asian actors a chance. It's just more proof they're full of shit.
But what's even the use of an American adaptation? If I was a fan of the manga, I'd prefer to watch the Japanese adaptation anyway.
Difficult to say if you've seen a movie multiple time, as those jump scares are not as effective anymore. But I remember that in I Know What You Did Last Summer Anne Heche suddenly appearing at Jennifer Love Hewitt's car got a huge jump and laugh in the theater.
The Usual Suspects and The Sixth Sense because of their shocking twists. Maybe also Scream because it's one of my favourites and the reveal was so great.
