It doesn't matter that Elba is a good actor or that he can speak proper English or that he can speak with a Scottish accent.

I love how you keep making dumb excuses instead of answering my questions.

cause the black men who run the studios are oppressing the white men by daring to cast a black man in a role that historically been white!
The poor white man always getting shat upon.

Hi you all. Can't believe this thread about nothing is still going on. But, I noticed the name Elba. That's where Napoleon was put in prison. Horrible place. But he gave one of the greatest speeches ever before being put away. Reminds me of Terry Bradshaw's HOF speech. Great stuff.

You really have a problem with a black Bond after 50 consecutive years of a white Bond? You think it's some negative upon society? I'm always thrilled for blacks to see other successful blacks in the hopes it breaks their penchant for looking up to poorer models as a precursor to what their future can hold.

People will argue over anything. How anyone could be against a fictional character being any race is beyond me.

I'm a huge fan of the Lee Child novels about the character Jack Reacher, who is described as 6'5" and blonde. When TOM CRUISE was cast to play Jack Reacher in the movie I was APPALLED....after reading something like 13 novels with this character in my "mind's eye" it was hard to accept TC as the character. He did a good job in the movie but he wasn't "Jack Reacher" to me....
I felt the same way about Johnny Depp playing Ichabod Crane in Sleeping Hollow.
Even though Depp is a great actor he didn't look anything like the original fictional character, Ichabod Crane.
quote:
The whole paragraph that introduces Ichabod is about how tall, skinny, and awkward the guy is, and it ends with this gem of a sentence:
To see him striding along the profile of a hill on a windy day, with his clothes bagging and fluttering about him, one might have mistaken him for the genius of famine descending upon the earth, or some scarecrow eloped from a cornfield.
I understand how movies need stars in them in order to get more people to watch them but there must be some good white actors out there who could have more closely fit the description of the original Ichabod Crane.

It doesn't even make sense. Even users of black vernacular don't say "I be" when introducing themselves.
Haven't you seen the Ebonic T-shirts worn by blacks that say, "I be me"?
I've never heard anyone say "I be Mike", or something like that.

I use the black vernacular 'Nome Sane' at least once a day over the last 10 years. It has transcended race. Nome Sane?

Yes.
Give me a logical reason why James Bond should be black and I'll change my mind.

No.
I think it is unnecessary to change James Bond into a black man just to make him a black man.

So the truth finally comes out.
It isn't about ENTERTAINMENT.
It's about giving black actors more positive movie roles even if they are roles for white men so that young black males will think they can also become a famous black movie star.

this wouldn't be the first time the franchise has deviated from how it was originally written. Where was the outcry then? Oh right there wasn't any because nobody gave a shite then. But all the sudden throw a black guy into the mix and everyone becomes a Bond purist. But it's not racism. right.
This is so true.

You just didn't like them.

If you believe that Superman or Batman being played by Idris Elba is somehow wrong, you are VERY racist. And not very smart.
I changed the character around, do you still have the same opinion?
Nobody wants to consider this?

You could not be more wrong. Name a single actor, entertainer who drives policy more than Rush over the last 30 years. Rush's influence is more akin to that of William Randolph Hearst.
Hearst did it through newspapers. Rush does it through radio.
For those posters not familiar with Hearst, watch the movie Citizen Kane.

We'll just have to disagree Zach. I listened to him over 20 years ago and watched him morph into what he is today. What that is I suppose is subjective and dependent on interpretation but he changed for the worse over the years IMO.
