    apparently a black re-casting of a 50s-60s american television sitcom is profane, somehow.
    now i'm here, and history is vindicated.

    The Honeymooners has been running continuously on American TV for over 50 years. The Flintstones is a take off on it. The show only ran for one season yet most people think it was on for a decade. There were only 39 episodes. Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden is like a folk legend around here. It would be like making Fat Albert and having a white kid play him.

    Heres some clips from the honeymooners. Still the funniest show ever to hit the airwaves. Every show is a classic.


    Clips

    Click on video booth. This is great Im watching Duck Soup as I post this. Talk about a classic. Maybe we shold have a black version of this movie also.

    I always had the hots for Alice. Look at this picture I found of her

    I found that quite funny when I watched that in my American Film and Culture class.

    This is a non-issue to me, but casting Denzel as Hannibal I found pretty ridiculous. More because of idiotic afro-centric thought, than anything else.
    GAH! GAH! GAH!

    Why don't we make a movie about the Achaemid Persians, and have them be played by Arabs?

    this movie is aimed at the american idol crowd, not the politics debating, wargaming internet crowd ;)
    Gah, any one that clames to be a "rocker" and quit their band to be on a fricken pop singer talent show ought to be thrown out in to the woods, their hair shaven and beard clipped off. That'll teach that stupid Boo!

    The Scorpion King still scores pretty high on the 'idiotic race casting' , an Asian as an Egyptian princess ?

    Watch The Conqueror starring John Wayne as Genghis Khan, or Tony Curtis as Ali Baba (1952).

    Now that's good casting
