Stupidest Movie Review of the Year by 'Conservatives"
Well, you gotta look at the Godfather, Zorba the Greek, Lawrence of Arabia and a whole slew of stagings of Othello, then wonder what these here folks are on about.
"A US white supremacist group has called for a boycott of the Kenneth Branagh-directed superhero movie Thor on the grounds that a black actor has been cast in the role of a Norse god.
The Council of Conservative Citizens is upset that London-born Idris Elba, star of The Wire and BBC detective series Luther as well as a number of Hollywood films, is to play deity Heimdall in the Marvel Studios feature. The group, which opposes inter-racial marriage and gay rights, has set up a website, boycott-thor.com to set out its opposition to what it sees as an example of leftwing social engineering.
"It [is] well known that Marvel is a company that advocates for leftwing ideologies and causes," the site reads. "Marvel frontman Stan 'Lee' Lieber boasts of being a major financier of leftwing political candidates. Marvel has viciously attacked the Tea Party movement, conservatives and European heritage.
"Now they have taken it one further, casting a black man as a Norse deity in their new movie Thor. Marvel has now inserted social engineering into European mythology."
If you're a Christian, you don't believe in the Norse gods anyway, so what does it really matter. And as a conservative, let me say that I don't care one way or the other.
I've noticed though, that the bad guys in many movies turn out to be Orientals. I think it's time for an Oriental Juliet.

I wounder if you, and others of the Leftist ilk, would protest if Oliver Stone did a biographical movie about Barry Soetero, and cast Owen Wilson in the title role...

Depends... there is an obvious Chinese influence in Hollywood, in which the "kung fu guy" is the hero. However, there is way more Chinese talent acknowledged than ***anese. They couldn't even remake the Karate Kid (Karate being a ***anese term) in ***an. It had to change to a Chinese setting.
Still there are some really awesome Chinese made movies. (Asians are of course the bad guys, but that stands to reason since all the actors are Asian.)
Kung Fu Hustle is brilliant. Not to mention Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.
If anything, there should still be a grudge over David Caradine getting the job as Cane over Bruce Lee.
Heck, with the potential mainstream success of Kung Fu, Lee might never have had to work in China, and he might still be alive!

Same old race baiting. Racism is a horrible thing.
So from this, you believe all white sepremist are conservatives, and all conservatives are white sepremist?
Are you really this ignorant of the world?
From what I understand, (generally from TV shows like 'gangland") thor is the white sepremist big hero. Or any norse god. I would say it would upset them. I a conservative and Christian, could honestly care less. They could put jackie chan in for Thor for all I care.
Beau, think before talking (or posting). A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Well, they're putting on an opera about an Egyptian slave girl in SF right now. You know, Aida. Have you heard any protests? Here's the prima donna Michelle Capalbo:

I think those opposing the film have self-named themselves as conservatives.

Will Rogers said that we are all ignorant -- just on different subjects.
