It would be really interesting to see a remake of Alex Haley's "Roots" where the white roles are all played by blacks and the black roles are all played by whites.

You'd need tanker trucks full of Preparation H to assuage the ensuing butthurt. LMAO

You're missing the point. Those films were made that way because they were aimed at a target audience.

As I've already said, I'd be beyond pissed if they recast Lando as a white dude. So this isn't a racial issue.

It's an issue of what's appropriate to the production. And shoehorning in a black Phantom, especially when THE ENTIRE REST OF THE CAST IS WHITE (apart from Piangi, who had to be black because he has to sound somewhat like the Phantom due to the scene where he's replaced mid-song), just reeks of bullshit.

And, as I said, as a consumer, it completely took me out of the play.

My dad does that with the George Foreman "call my friends at inventhelp!" I watch football with him on Sunday's and he does it every single time its on. My mom tells me he does it in public sometimes. ROFL

People that block intersections so you can't hang a left. Then when you give them your a dumbazz look, act oblivious.

What's mildly annoying is when people move their lips as they read, but I can generally look away if I see it so it's not a huge issue.

This is unlike people who don't eat peanuts properly, which compels me to stare as I try to understand their strange ways.
You are definitely an OCDer:D

I, for one, always found casting in movies like that to be stupid.

The king for me is The Ten Commandments. You really expect me to believe that those are Egyptians? rofl.

I haven't seen that one, but more recently I've seen Exodus: Gods and Kings and Gods of Egypt and good Lord, what a farce. Gerard Butler and Christian Bale as ancient Egyptians. Cringeworthy.

I don't know shit about Phantom of the Opera so I'm definitely out of my wheelhouse here, but is being white central to the character?

I can understand why someone would be annoyed if they did a George Washington biopic and cast Idris Elba as the lead. Or Tom Hanks cast as Frederick Douglass.

But if you're just bitching because you'd rather see a white guy then that's just weird.

If someone is good enough at acting, race and gender shouldn't matter. I bet that Meryl Streep could play a great Napoleon, or that Tom Hanks could play one of the sisters in Little Women. If you're a highly paid actor, you should be able to nail any role you're given.

I for one would welcome seeing the famous love scene in "Last Tango In Paris" starring Megan Fox and Charlotte McKinney in the lead roles. They're good actresses, so why paint ourselves into a corner with standard casting?

The original character was white, the original actor was white, and he had a British accent and sang like a brit.

Casting a black man totally takes me out of the production, sorry.
