You probably haven't heard anything ...@ Fuzzy:<br /><br />You probably haven't heard anything because Elba is awesome, and has a ton of "geek creed." <br /><br />But, to be honest, what can you do? Cast a Clint Eastwood lookalike/wannabe? For folks who don't know the novels, that would simply make the film look incredibly cheesy/contrived, no? I can read the reviews in my mind's eye: "Matthew McConaughey is no Clint Eastwood."<br /><br />I hadn't actually heard they were going to take that series to screen (probably my favorite King works...but I'm partial to both Westerns and fantasy). I hope it will be better than the usual attempts at adapting his novels.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-21275951327975104092016-03-13T16:03:00.043-07:002016-03-13T16:03:00.043-07:00Me, too.

I *like* Jones in GoT, though maybe I just dig the whole "gay Lancelot" thing. But...well, I'll withhold (more) judgement till I see him in the role.<br /><br />[you forgot "Asian drug dealers" and "gang members" by the way. Most of the Asian-american folks I know work in the social services, and NOT the IT department.

The only thing that I wonder is how the dynamics between him and Odetta/Susannah might change (assuming the further story doesn't deviate too widely from the books).Fuzzy Skinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10606454596061907461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-74601081745710819472016-03-13T15:54:49.665-07:002016-03-13T15:54:49.665-07:00@ Alexis:

Argh. She looks a LOT ...Ritter is 5'9"???<br /><br />Argh. She looks a LOT like a friend of mine, which made watching the whole thing weird, and my friend is 5'2", so I just assumed Ritter was only a little taller. Plus everyone looks small next to Luke Cage.<br /><br />I understand your feelings about the identity issue and agree with them. I find cultural appropriation a difficult issue because...where does it stop? A lot of the later X-Men are intentionally diverse, so I'm not sure you could reassign all (or almost all) of them without difficulty, but I agree with the urge. Male asians are techno-geeks or martial arts masters. It's cliche. I'd like to see a lot more gender & race blind casting, to be honest.Nathan Irvinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10748510598803702118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-54060083335828159442016-03-12T23:45:41.767-08:002016-03-12T23:45:41.767-08:00Hmm...when I think of the Stainless Steel Rat, I&#...Hmm...when I think of the Stainless Steel Rat, I'm thinking more along the lines of Bradley Cooper (for sheer smugness)...though Anthony Mackie (the new Falcon) could probably pull it off too. <br /><br />John Cho would be a good choice as well.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-9162193521093379172016-03-12T22:23:31.990-08:002016-03-12T22:23:31.990-08:00Zahiril Adzim might make an Interesting scifi hero...Zahiril Adzim might make an Interesting scifi hero (steel rat perhaps?)Sean Robert Meaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273566549106707316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-62204462156585042962016-03-12T22:18:44.252-08:002016-03-12T22:18:44.252-08:00And here I was hoping for chad boseman as a young ...And here I was hoping for chad boseman as a young sisko.Sean Robert Meaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273566549106707316noreply@blogger.com
