Wait for it ......
We must not speak of he who has no name!

Didn't the church close because it was underwater at the time?
This whole actor pulls out of film because he isn't Asian thing is hilarious. The snowflakes are getting themseves in a right tiz about it, how right on he is, a hero of the people and so on.
Using their logic, presumably James Bond can never be played by a black actor then? A black actor in Shakespeare? A thing of the past!
I do wish people would fuck the fuck off with all this cultural appropriation/black face horse shit.
Since James Bond is a changing actor role, then yes, you can do it, it's fine - so long as you don't cast James Bond as a white man, get a black man to play him then spray him white.
It works both ways in my opinion - maybe not the i'm offended snowflake approach but more the the cringe factor just puts me off it.
I mean, he's a Chinese character in a film played by a white guy, gonna narrow his eyes and him a slight tan?
It's like Ben Kingsley, since his Ghandi thing, he's been playing loads of middle eastern characters in average film, every time I see him I just cringe.

The character in Hellboy is half-Japanese. I'm sure the huge pool of half-Japanese actors are thrilled a new opportunity has opened up.
I've noticed this so much myself over the years, drove all around Devon Dorset for 10 days and not a single bug on the car.
25 years ago you would be operating the washers every ten minutes.
‘The windscreen phenomenon’ - why your car is no longer covered in dead insects
Tbh devon and dorset dont have the fastest roads in the country.Just checked the front of my car- absolutely plastered in the things.
Might i suggest more use of the pedal on the right?

Hes a bit of a smug tit to be honest, full of himself and you can see him trying to make vanity look cool.I like Idris Elba a lot, he's a superb actor and I was astonished to learn after watching The Wire that he's English. But when his name was being bounced around for Bond, I didn't think he was right for the role. He's black, and I'm not sure to what extent James Bond is defined by his British, middle-class navy background, which seems to me to be very white (can you imagine the original M with a black Bond?) Is that important to Bond's character? I don't know so I'm still not sure. If it turns out that it doesn't matter then I'd love to see Elba doing that role, he's a great actor.

Ben Kinglsey. The Ben Kinglsey who's father's name is Rahimtulla Harji Bhanji, that Ben Kingsley?
@Job in hates-good-looking-black-guy shocker!
Ah some good news at least: Sky stops broadcasting Fox News
Sky stops broadcasting Fox News in UK - BBC News
And they must make absolutely sure not to cast a Chinese or Korean fella in the role either, to avoid upsetting said Half Japanese/half indeterminate white origin actors.

First thing I see on one of Gawker's SJW sites, some idiot writes and article suggesting a random bunch of Chinese and Koreans with the odd Japanese throw in for the role. Understandably,, everyone in tearing her a new one. Its not surprising; I remember a Guardian article once talking about some footbal club who'd just taken on a Japanese player and how useful he would be for bringing in the Asian fans, because of course they're all the fucking same...

Well yeah, how many birds do you know called James?I think Elba would work pretty well at the role - never read the books to see how "white"Bond was originally, but I wouldn't have an issue. A female Bond wouldn't work in the slightest however.
