For everyone present, I started a new thread on casting and recasting comic book movies:
Wasn’t even aware of the guy, but yeah! What a novel concept: casting a redhead for a redhead. Paging Mr. Raimi…
I’m sure they coulda made him look a bit younger.
Hopefully, resting in peace.
Hmm?
Thinking back on it, I actually kind of liked that. ‘I’m so powerful and badass that I can mock you as I plan to destroy you.’ It would have been nice if they had someone who looked fat, since that’s how he’s portrayed (looking fat, but not actually being fat; as the Spiderman cartoon put it, “feel the crushing power of three hundred pounds…of muscle” [not verbatim]), but I doubt there’s anyone alive who looks like the Kingpin that much, let alone someone like that who can act.
Naaa, Tor Johnson , would be perfect!
I’m Irish, mostly. And the rest is Czech and English. Halle Berry is almost as white as I am. Yes, people do have varying skin tones with ethnic groups, etc. But seriously, she doesn’t count as “black” in my book. She could almost be my cousin.
Except I keep telling you he is 103 years old, and he is dead.
Then I suggest we use Plan 9.
Her mother is white, British. Her father is black American. I’m assuming by Irish, Czech and English, you mean non-black populations of such?
Plus, how about how she self-identifies:
I was raised by my white mother and every day of my life I have always been aware of the fact that I am bi-racial. However, growing up I was aware that even though my mother was white, I did not look or ‘feel’ very white myself…Many times my classmates did not believe me when I said my mother was white. I soon grew tired of trying to prove that I was half-black and half-white and learned not to concern myself with what others thought. I began to relate to the other ‘all black kids’ at my school more because quite simply…I looked more like them…After having many talks with my mother about the issue, she reinforced what she had always taught me. She said that even though you are half black and half white, you will be discriminated against in this country as a black person…"
