CaptainViolence posted:right??? that's why i eventually bailed and got into making educational videos. reality tv as a whole has not aged well, i don't think. I personally think Whale Wars is the greatest television ever made. Just not for the reasons they intended. Never before in history has there been a bigger shipwreck not involving any of the literal ships which got literally wrecked on that show.

The "Read" part rhymes with "lead", if that helps.

There is a dumb joke about Poland sending a rocket ship to the sun ... at night, which is in the dumbest loosest way the premise of the movie. My joke had little to do with Cillian Murphy specifically other than the fact that he stars in that weird movie.

For beds in Reading, the place to be heading is Reading bedding That's one of those slogans that I can't decide if it stuck because I heard it in my formative childhood years, or because they're still using it twenty years later.

I saw an episode of the original Hawaii 5-0 the other day and I have to say, putting putty on a white guy's face to make him look Japanese is definitely not something I ever expected to see outside of Breakfast at Tiffany's. Hearing a white guy read Japanese phonetically was also something else. Was it really so hard to find an actual Japanese actor in Hawaii back then? Like I currently live a few miles from where the studio was on Oahu and it's still pretty Japanese out here.

In Cameron Crowe's movie Aloha (2015), Emma Stone plays a half Asian girl named Allison Ng.

Which is actually worse than if they just cast Scarlett Johansson because they got as close to Asian as they could without actually hiring one.

It's subjective of course, but while she doesn't look Asian, if I found out she was a quarter Asian or something I'd look at her facial structure and be like, "yeah, I guess I can see that."

Genuine question, a lot of people were upset about that movie a couple years back that had a white guy play Michael Jackson. What was the correct solution for that one? A black actor in white face? Seemed kind of like a lose/lose situation there.

A black actor in white face? Seemed kind of like a lose/lose situation there. Well considering the solid fact that Michael Jackson was a black man who lightened his skin a black actor in white face seems like the logical and appropriate solution. It's not lose/lose because the color of his face has no bearing on the fact that he was black and a white person should not play him.

A black actor in white face? Seemed kind of like a lose/lose situation there. Like considering the reality of the human being in question, yeah, that's what they should have done. Unless they wanted to get weird and have a few different actors play MJ, I guess, which might be better or worse or just as bad, I really don't know. But the reality is that the most popular entertainer in the world, the King of Pop, was a black man, whatever he ended up looking like in the latter part of his life, and it's really not hard to see why people are salty about that getting literally whitewashed away.
