I vote for Danny DeVito

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 12 points 1 day ago

Reminds me of the bit at the end of Deadpool when he says they were considering Keira Kightly for Cable because she has range.

Completely unrealistic and unwatchable. Suit needs to be tan.

[–] Case@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 day ago

Don't forget his choice in condiments.

[–] FriendBesto@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 days ago

Take it easy man, we do not want to over stage Citizen Kane, here.

Mr. Tan Suit would win best supporting actor, AND best costume design, by itself.

[–] OCATMBBL@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

World's first white first black president.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 69 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Hollywood Executives can collectively only name at most seven actors at a given time. An entire nine-digit annual industry run by a bunch of coked-up goldfish.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

All of these large industries are run by idiots

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

They're run by the same average people who work for them. You don't need to be an idiot to fuck up running something as large and complicated as a trans-national corporation. You don't need to be a genius to coast in a position that already prints money.

We're simply not that different from one another. The genius/idiot dichotomy is far more about variances in education, culture, and propagandized bigotry than finding actual differences in intellect.

Queue Dave Chappelle and his sketch 'Negrodamas'

So it was 30 years ago. I feel like, even though things are far from perfect now, nowadays a comment like this would draw quite a few more critical looks than back then.

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 97 points 3 days ago (1 children)

People in 1994 knew exactly how fucked this was.

Next Summer they'll show Black Hitler

I would not be surprised if that was the title of Kanye’s next album.

Hmmm so you need woman of colour? Maybe Gal Gadot? /s

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 44 points 2 days ago (3 children)

If Hollywood ever did a film about Gaza they would unironically use Gal Godot in the role of a Palestinian woman.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It also be “both sides have something to learn from each other!” Oscar bait a la Crash or Green Book.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ughhhhhhh. Green Book was okay, I liked it, but BlackkKlansman was right there. I shouldn't be surprised they picked the less punchy of the two, but I'm still annoyed.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The best part of BlackkKlansman was that I watched it with two literal billionaires who most assuredly voted for Trump 3 times. I got to feel their reaction to that ending montage. Thank you for the reminder.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

tf is your life lol. That's crazy. I really hope it made them at least somewhat more empathetic. I don't think anyone is ever too far gone for change, but I also don't have much hope that billionaires will change.

Same as when SNL wanted men to play female politicians in sketches when Amy Poehler and Tina Fey were right there and smashed it in the end.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

SNL is comedy, and there's comedy in using a man to portray a woman. That's not the same as using the wrong sort of person because you think it doesn't matter

This is crazy, I mean Roberts is from the South and Tubman from the north, no one's going to believe it!

Being rich doesn’t mean you’re smart.

[–] mriswith@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago (5 children)

The average Hollywood executive is really dumb, but they tend to be great talkers and networkers.

Am I the only one who doesn't know who Harriet Tubman is?

[–] tino@lemmy.world 91 points 2 days ago (12 children)

Probably not, but she's an important figure of the American history. The real question, though, is who will know about Harriet Tubman in a few years, once she gets erased from American history books.

[–] essell@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago (3 children)

At least people will be able to remember she looked like Julia Roberts
