Soul Man - C. Thomas Howell - James Earl Jones

newtboy says...

Anybody else wonder why this movie and Tropic Thunder haven't ended a few careers yet? Why do C. Thomas Howell and Robert Downey Jr get a free pass?

So THIS is how small scale audio sampling works

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - Celebration Reel

SFOGuy says...

I say this with the greatest of reverence; someday, Ben Stiller needs to make a parody of the Star Wars film-making genre; the same way he did for Apocalypse Now and every other "Hollywood Epic War Film" with "Tropic Thunder"...

Jordan Vs Muhammad Ali Epic Rap Battle

I'm not sure what that all meant, but I can sense that you are surprised/disappointed by my comment. Not to backtrack, because there is something that certainly struck me as odd and upsetting when I realized what the makeup artist had done here, but my comment was pithy to a fault; inappropriate was the wrong choice of words.

I have thought several times about it since I first made the point, and 'offputting' or 'disturbing' might have been better. I am not offended (specifically because I am white, so what the fuck do I have to be offended about) by the use of makeup in this case nor do I think that it violates some moral code (of which I am but a subjective arbiter). Rather, I think it was so poorly done as to draw attention and detract from the end product.

Blackface can be done right (a la Robert Downey Jr in Tropic Thunder) and it can be done wrong (e.g., every privileged white kid who dressed up as Trayvon Martin this Halloween). In this case, it was done wrong, if only subtly so.

aaronfr???
Black face being inappropriate to your personal sensibilities regarding historically offensive stereotypes but not offensive at all when prompted by a passionately opportunistic "trigger" for your particular brand of robotic pontification, the "evil" of racism being the most IMPORTANT and most DELETERIOUS indicator of ignorance or a lack of current-events knowledge or moral character.

Fuck making blackface an issue, it's as tired as the cardboard box of enlightenment you stand on to set yourself above the huddled masses...

Kofi says...

He can play any scene, but just one character.... every damn movie. Unless he is trying to overcome a bad public image in which case we get a purposely against type character ala Tropic Thunder.

People hate on Tom Cruise. Yeah he makes is very easy but his acting is top notch. The guy can carry any scene. Strange guy...yes, bad actor...no.

Let Me In - Trailer

chtierna says...

Agreed. Don't fix what's not broken. The only reason I can see for remaking this movie is to cash in on the people who are too lazy to read subtitles or otherwise cant stand any other language than English spoken in a movie. Then again, for a studio that might not seem like a bad reason...

>> ^oohlalasassoon:

This may end up being decent in its own right, but are subtitles that bad? Why throw away the incredible camera work of the original, the performances of and chemistry between the original actors, simply to translate to English?
The remake just seems to owe its existence to some bigwig film studio exec. I'm picturing Tom Cruise's Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder.
