All black cast is not enough. What about the director, music producer, editors, makeup artists, etc?

They must ALL be black, gay or some sort of approved protected class.

Then even if that were to happen it would not be enough. They would find something else to complain about.

They can make whatever they want. However, I won’t be seeing it.

He’s right. Donald Trump is not perfect, but he’s lightyears better than Xiden.

Bad writing and a Mary Sue protagonist.

At least there’s still plenty of work for white actors playing Klansmen, Nazis, inbred rednecks, snobby bluebloods, greedy yuppies, sexist fratboys, bigoted suburbanites, shallow sorority sisters, dumb blond bimbos, crazy conspiracists, lunatic survivalists, mass murderers, serial killers, and racist cops.

I don't mind an original story like "Black Panther". It's your original story. You can write it anyway you want.

What I object to is taking long-established characters and changing them for PC reasons.

Pelz, from a wealthy Jewish family made his dough when he bought Snapple (and then wouldn’t advertise on the Rush Limbaugh radio show that made Snapple popular).

Imagine a remake of the Jackie Robinson Story with Justin Timberlake in the lead role? Why not a remake of Lady Sings the Blues with Taylor not so Swift as Billie Holliday? Absurd isn’t it?🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤡

Is Pelz the one who’s daughter is married to David Beckhams’s son?

I thought the movie was already made, and the release delay was to let the noise die down so the movie would not completely tank when it comes out.

On a bigger scale, it's possible that Disney is eventually going to be like Sears, Roebuck and Co. Once a powerful force in the market, now just the answer to a trivia question.

I don’t want Iger to go," he reiterated. "Trump is all we got."

Am I missing something here, or is this the non-sequitur that it seems to be?

I had a little essay but realized considering Michael Douglas’s “D-Fens” character in “Falling Down” the hero of that film...
