Hell I couldn't have named the author off the top of my head before you mentioned it.

I rewatched Kingdom of Heaven. This time I opted for the Director's Cut.
IMMENSELY better. So much so, that, as I was told prior, you haven't seen Kingdom of Heaven if you haven't seen this cut.

The only problem is it's like Gone With The Wind long now. I started watching it around 10:30 on a weeknight. Big mistake. |

Also, that was one hell of a cast. Even Michael Sheen joined the party as the priest in the beginning.

Watched Sin City again. Love it and heard that they're making another one.
The original Tron is coming to HD Movies in the next week or two. I'm pretty sure that I haven't seen it since it was in the theaters. |

Last Airbender getting absolutely scathing reviews. Most scathing reviews I've seen in a while. And not comically scathing (ala Sex and the City 2).

Too bad, I thought it looked good. Also, this was a good read on their racist casting: http://splinterend.tumblr.com/post/7...0/facepainting

Has any director in history milked ONE GOOD MOVIE as much and as long as Shyamalan? ****. Everything he's made since Sixth Sense has sucked - the only variance is the degree of suckage.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty thin. They're called actors. They're playing a role.

Exactly. And I completely forgot about gay actors playing straight characters and vice versa.

Also, I object to the two examples you've used. Completely different.

My examples are different, but far from completely different. The important factor is that actors play roles and wear costumes and make-up to create the desired appearance. The only really essential qualification is the ability to pull it off.

Correct, but "Caucasian" would fall under "all ethnicities". I don't see how you can miss the overt placement of Caucasian before " or any other ethnicities".
