Do you feel the same with women playing roles in remakes like Ghostbusters or Oceans 11(renamed Oceans 8)?
Let me say I DO have a problem with these remakes. In these cases, it very clearly is casting roles specifically to put a woman in a role made popular by a man. These remakes failed on their own merits, or more specifically their lack of merits.
Do you have a problem with Sherlock Holmes being cast in contemporary settings in both 'Elementary' and 'Sherlock'? Both breaking with the written source material.
Finally, you said you had a problem with non-Brits playing Brits, but the TV is full of Brits who play Americans. Is that okay?
Since Felix Leiter hasn't been mentioned, the casting of a black man to play this part hasn't been brought up. From back to the 1960's Felix has been often recast.
From what I understand the new cast is only getting the '007' code designation, not the name James Bond. How is that a problem?
What makes a fictional character white or black or anything else? Because the original actor playing a character was white, the character is now and forever white? That's awfully narrow-minded and worse yet unimaginative.
There was a time when all heroes in the movies were white men. Should those characters forever be played by white men from now to eternity? When talking about Bond, what is it about his character that is strictly reserved to a white man?
It's not a matter of progressive or conservative, but unfortunately, some people can only see the world through narrow politically divisive viewpoints. I get a laugh at how we progressives are forcing a liberal world view on all you poor and innocent conservatives by putting people of color into roles originally reserved by white men. It is your problem to work out. The majority of people on earth are NOT white men and movies can now reflect the people in the audience.
It'll work the same way as Mike does on 'Better Call Saul'. Flashbacks, or something like flashbacks. A technique which I usually despise but I trust Vince Gilligan to make it work.
You may be right about him being irrelevant on these boards, but he is no political hack. His talent is what has made him interesting beyond the gimmick or novelty of a gay man being taken seriously. He is smart and thinks fast on his feet.
Until 2016, every Democratic nominee has been both White and male.
"I have no idea what I meant when I typed that."
Trump does that everyday on twitter, so don't feel bad.
Yeah, so few white males have been the nominee for either the Dems or GOPigs!
Yes, yet another reboot. This show is in its 5th season and yet if you try to recap the story Arc you could not draw a straight line from episode 1.1 to season 5. This show is a waste of time, and I need to stop wasting my time. I keep hoping they'll settle on an Arc and just carry through with it.
Keep dreaming this Orange Turd will not be living Rent Free at a federally funded prison.
The truly failed mission is that of the showrunners of FTWD trying to tweak and reboot this mess. 5th season and this show has no direction, just story resets.
Nailed it. I completely agree.
If only Trump would use ad hominem attacks...oh, wait a moment, he masters them.
YOU are an idiot! Please, neuter yourself before you have idiot children!
Wow, are you an idiot. Truthfully, if Trump wants to build that wall, he should get the money from morons....Like you!
Tony Soprano is a fictional character that lives and dies according to the writer and film makers who created the scene. His death was left up to the beholder. People talk like David Chase is trying to cover up a real persons death and should be charged with Obstruction of Justice.
It's a TV show, not a pizza. Someone not watching doesn't leave you an extra slice.
