Also just remembered, Tom Waits has won some suits when ad campaigns used sound-alikes (I believe cause he had in writing that they had approached him and gotten a "no")

Are there any Hollywood movies where a black guy is romantically involved with a white woman and it isn't treated as a big deal? I was talking with a friend about that earlier today and the closest we could think of was Pulp Fiction, but Uma Thurman and Ving Rhames never appear on screen together.

I just saw An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn where Craig Robinson and Aubrey Plaza were an ex-couple, but race wasn't the issue. If we're allowed to go the other way, Cruise and Thandie Newton in Mission Impossible 2 wasn't no thing. These are things I've seen within the last week. I'll reserve this space to think harder on it. edit: The last Spider-Man the other way around. If you can count it without them sealing the deal yet, The Force Awakens is a big one.

Maybe this isn't exactly the right place, but here goes. I watched Annihilation a few days ago, and there's no thread for it (that I could find, but I used the search function). That ending scene in the lighthouse was loving bonkers. Was the thing sentient? Did it know what it was doing? Or did it just mimic Natalie Portman, trying to learn?

Leavemywife posted:Maybe this isn't exactly the right place, but here goes. From what I can remember of the book (The movie compresses a lot of the books into a single story - rightly so since books 2 and 3 are reallllly hard to get through. Definite slogs at times): Area X is essentially some sort of sentient being taking over the Earth. It doesn't have a real definite "form" that we can see, but there is something called The Crawler which is as close as you get. Whenever the alien came to this area, it took over the body of a lighthouse keeper who was a former priest and he eventually becomes this indescribable sort-of-being-shaped light thing. Area X is it's experimenting in trying to mimic all forms of life thus making it easier for it to take over... I think. If you go into Area X you're actually whisked off to a different dimension/location in the universe or something...so you can't ever go back unless it's through the specific "door" I think. So whatever comes out of Area X is always a copy or "changed" version of you. So to answer your question, yes it's sentient and knows what it's doing. It's trying to take over by making indistinguishable copies of lifeforms to extend it's "Reach." I... think. Now that I typed that up I can't remember and may be mashing/making stuff up. edit: Also yes I loving loved Annihilation and thought the last 30 minutes was just loving awesome.

In Alien Covenant, all the couples on board were married, and if I remember right, there was a black guy/white woman. They were killed in the shower.

I seem to recall some drama with Hitch, where Eva Mendez had to be cast because international markets wouldn’t go for Smith and a white lady.

There was originally a romance subplot in The Pelican Brief with Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts but it was removed, I think(?) because Denzel had gotten backlash after kissing a white woman in Malcolm X. Anyway he's with Kelly Reilly in Flight & I don't recall race being brought up in/about their relationship (in the movie; there were a lot of think pieces on it irl).

The terrible film The Mountain Between Us (which I hope nobody saw) has Kate swindler (great autocorrect for Winslet) and Idris Elba. Race doesn’t seem to factor.

Oh my god that movie. My wife and I caught it one lazy weekend and just MST3Ked through the whole thing. That's usually the kind of movie she likes and she just was laughing throughout. That's how bad it is.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say this is a rare example of Black backlash rather than butt hurt White people. But the speed by which interracial relationships became normal in the media is remarkable.

I'm not sure if that's Hollywood or indie, same with that one with Chris Rock and Julie Delpy, but I didn't see that one, so maybe race is a big issue in it. Edit: It's a TV show, but happy endings lasted 3 seasons and 2 of the 6 main cast members (it was a bit of a Friends knockoff) was Damon Wayne's Jr and Eliza Coupe as a married couple. Maybe 2 episodes had his race be a major plot point, and even then it wasn't about them as a mixed race couple. Air Skwirl fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Aug 8, 2018 |

Did Sidney Poitier and Katharine Houghton kiss in Guess Who's Coming To Dinner or was that pushing the envelope too far for 1967?  (I think it's great how the Best Picture nominees that year were Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, Bonnie & Clyde, The Graduate, In the Heat of the Night and... Doctor Doolittle.)

Uma and Vingh appear on screen together in two scenes; First after Butchie throws the fight and Travolta comes to the locker room to get his orders from Vingh, and later they are eating breakfast together while Vingh tells Samuel Jackson that he is sending The Wolf.

Apologies in advance for what is a really general question, but I figure CineD is the best place for it. I was reading this article and there was some interesting trivia: apparently Youtube's algorithm really likes to push channels and videos with weekly updates and video lengths between 10 and 12 minutes. This is changing the kind of content that is produced, as producers compete for views and ad money. Which makes me wonder, why are films and tv the length they are now? An average film will be maybe a little under 2 hours, while tv and even Netflix series stick to the half hour or one-hour format. When did this become convention? Did the audience's taste dictate the current formats or was it because of technical limitations? Fruits of the sea fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Aug 12, 2018 |

TV is scheduled so it makes sense for most of it to conform to hours or half-hours. But Netflix often doesn't stick to it because it's not scheduled and there aren't supposed to be commercial breaks. Except for shows they co-produce like Riverdale.
