That was amazing. Archer had a Babou shoulder patch, with a star-spangled ocelot! The locker behind Barry is labeled "Other Barry". Goddamn I can't wait aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Now, who wants to see Willem Dafoe's o-face?

What about Charlotte Gainsbourg's?

Uma Thurman? Stellan Skarsgard?

And I don't think I need to ask if you want to see Udo Kier's vinegar strokes.

Lars von Trier you are a crazy person.

Big news: not only is Marvel reprinting Neil Gaiman's legendary, nigh-unobtainable MiracleMan run, but they're also gonna let Gaiman and orignal artist Mark Buckingham finish their aborted arc.

Freaks and Geeks creator/Bridesmaids director Paul Feig wants to
make a gay romantic comedy with Channing Tatum, though it should be noted that it's more of a pie in the sky type deal than anything remotely close to being in production.

But, having said that, it does look like Lee Daniels is making an action movie starring an interracial gay couple, based on the novel Push by Sapphire.

I already know they were going to cast Johnny as a black man but Jordan of all people?

Wait, THAT Jordan. Nevermind he's ok.

That's not really the same thing, though. Superheroes are a straight white male game, making them more diverse doesn't hurt anyone.

Making one of the most well known black superheroes white, though? Pretty bad.

So traditionally white roles can be filled by black actors, but not the other way around?  That's racist.  Affirmative action is just fighting racism with more racism.

Neither Blade nor Johnny Storm's race are particularly important to their characters, but yes, basically. That's not racist, it's called trying to be diverse in a field that is overwhelmingly not diverse.

If Johnny Storm's race doesn't matter, why bother changing it?  Claiming it's diversity for the sake of diversity is a cop out to avoid the issue of affirmative action as a means to combat racial imbalance being a flawed principle.

It doesn't matter to his backstory or his character; it does matter, however, it adds some sorely needed diversity in a field that desperately needs it.

Comparing it to affirmative action is absurd.

They're changing Susan Storm's ethnicity too I presume ?

...... So they're making Johnny Storm black but they keep his sister Susan Storm white. ... Right. It's for ethnic diversity, you know, if it's not important to his background then it can be changed to appear more diverse. But not the girl, she stays white. Don't be talking crazy now.
