As I've state, that was an awful casting. She is in the movie for two minutes so i don't care

You’ll never win with these people. I am a Republican and Trump voter/supporter (some are not, fine), and the main reason some of these people get so mad is because they are self-conscious that others are not as big of a pussy as they are about things. Their first reaction is to call someone a “white liberal virtue signaling warrior.” They are embarrassed because they know in their hearts they are on the same level as the soft liberal figs they say they despise. It’s embarrassing that I have people on my side for a lot of issues act so weak. Have some pride. End rant.

But we can agree that casting is generally a pretty important aspect of a movie right?

I have admitted in other threads I thought the casting was stupid for the two roles everyone is mad about. I’m just not going to let someone briefly being in a movie dictate how I feel about the movie as a whole. I can enjoy a movie without letting a character with minimal screen time ruin the whole thing for me. If Damon ends up sucking in it, that’ll be a different story and I’ll bash it.

We can all agree that one of the best directors of all time knows exactly who is perfect to cast in his own movies over random internet people right?

Oh, is that what's going on here? "Greatest warrior I ever knew" is clearly a 5'1" troon actress? Sure, man.

being able to act actually matters in movies i know that's a novel concept to you instead of just being hot with huge juggs. care to explain why every Sydney Sweeny movie keeps flopping? hot with huge juggs and all

Why does anyone think those videos work for anything? We see them for political ads and they’re always cringe worthy. Whoever marketed this movie should be fired and I mean top to bottom fire everyone in that department.

Lame. Don't pretend he's doing this for anything other than political points.

Yea, man... because that's definitely not one of the greatest, if not the greatest comic book movie of all time even with that casting for the LEAD actress. A 2 minute role casting in The Odyssey definitely is going to automatically hold this back from being a great movie.

Those are not the only choices, nor does one exist exclusive of the other.

Man, you're just full of shitty arguments today.

Maggie can't act for shite. She was the worst part of the movie by far.

So he replaced an actual character with one that is not in either book, cast Page and that's just a purely artistic choice?

All of your arguments suck.

Nolan made this movie for industry shills. It's being targeted to cinephiles and theater kids, much like what we got with Wicked, Cats.


But notice how ONE person was absent from this short little 'notice us!' bit?



*Actually, 2. The blind Greek, aka Sid the Sloth aka put upon Latin derp John Leguizamo not there either.

Why the 4 DVs??? No comments? Weird.

Of course I actually did that right after I saw your post.

It sounded hilarious.

Pretty sure his motivation is awards as is everyone he works with. So he has to go diversity. Doesn’t have a choice if he and his crew including all the actors want to praise themselves in 8 months.

She is not a great actress, she can't even play a man as a man that is really a woman playing a man so she can be a man in a movie
