She can sing underwater without making air bubbles come out, I'm impressed.

Wouldn't air bubbles only come out if she breathed air?

What if we reboot Star Wars with a mostly black cast.

That could really cause some lovely people to have rage strokes.

Gotta redo it a bit to really land.

Black Princess Leia making out with her brother is gonna short circuit their brains.

Maybe Luke is white? And gay? Or trans?

They like the sister loving angle but if we really throw a bunch more confusing rage poo poo in there it could cause them to collapse into a neutron star.

Combine the characters: Luke is their deadname, and they have a relationship with Han. Han stays the same macho rogue architype.

Bula Vinaka: Oct 21, 2020; beach side

This kind of reminds me of the movie Rising Sun (1993).

(Article below is from 1993. In Crichton's book, the main character (Webster Smith) is white.)

https://ew.com/article/1993/08/06/rising-sun-stirs-controversy/

quote:

But Crichton sees a danger. �Casting Wesley Snipes puts an additional burden on the picture,� he warns. �In a movie about U.S.-Japan relations, if you cast someone who�s black, you introduce another aspect because of tension between blacks and Japanese.�

At least one scene in Rising Sun seems to play into those fears. As Smith and Connor flee from a gang of Japanese thugs packed into a turquoise, tail-finned Cadillac, they drive into an L.A. ghetto to the sudden blaring of rap music on the soundtrack. �Rough neighborhoods may be America�s last advantage,� Snipes tells Connery before enlisting a crowd of gangbangers to stall the pursuit. Moments later the yakuza hurtle into the �hood, only to be surrounded by a swarm of colorful, bass-thumping lowriders and menacing black faces; after his compatriots slice open the Caddy�s soft top with a machete and steal the Vuarnets off one of its passengers, a local breaks off the car�s windshield wiper and asks threateningly, �Do your windows, sir?� The Japanese speed away in gibbering terror.

Japanese-born actor Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, who plays one of Sun�s murder suspects, claims the episode was intended �as a moment of humor between gangsters.� Kaufman may have had weightier ethnic contrasts in mind. �When Japanese businesses come to America,� he has said when asked about the scene, �they won�t set up a factory in L.A. because of these racial problems. But we�re trying to create a multicultural society�In a way, we�re trying to be the future. We take in a lot of people [who] could be considered problems.�

Asian-American community leaders view the film�s black-Japanese confrontation differently. �The message is that it�s okay to attack Asians,� says Michael Ishii, chairman of the ad hoc New York Coalition Against Rising Sun, �and that it�s a patriotic thing to do.� Karen Narasaki, Washington representative of the Japanese American Citizens League, calls the scene �artistically gratuitous with some potential for great harm,� given black- Asian tension in Los Angeles. Naomi Hirahara, English editor at the L.A.-based community newspaper Rafu Shimpo, says simply, �It was a silly stereotype of Afro-Americans. It�s sophomoric more than anything.�

It's not the same thing of course, 30 years later, but, this is what all the "omg she's black?!?" poo poo about the trailer makes me think of.

So like, did they change Smith to a black guy so the character could be all racist towards towards the japanese while the white guy acted like a perfect angel towards them?

Why the gently caress does she still insist on going by that name even though it makes her look turbo trashy? It's literally the brand name of a bottle of water but spelled badly.

You just nut on the eggs the fish girl put on some rocks. It's not rocket science.

It's even way easier than with human women because the fish girl goes away when she's done and there's no "is it in yet?" or "you're done already?" sort of talk.
