H. G. Wells is spinning in his grave

I can't believe I'm even responding to this tripe. Nonetheless, here goes:

While, yes, H. G. Wells said the Eloi are essentially white (being the descendants of upper-class Englishmen), he also said they were four feet tall. Are you upset Simon Wells couldn't find any four-foot-tall,blue-eyed blondes to play Eloi?

The physical appearance of the Eloi in this film really doesn't bother me simply because it has no bearing at all on the story. Simon Wells hired non-white actors to play them. What of it? Realistically the Heliumites and Zodangans in the massive 2012 flop John Carter should be played by Amerindians (since in the source novel, Edgar Rice Burroughs explicitly states they look like Amerindians despite being Martians). Given your race-based outrage over Simon Wells' casting choices, you should logically be equally furious to see white actors playing roles best filled by Indians.

More to the point, the rest of your rant has nothing to do with this freaking film. The casting was the least concerning thing about the 2002 Time Machine. The muddled plot and bastardized storyline would be the reason H. G. Wells is spinning in his grave because of this film. Simon Wells clearly didn't understand his ancestor's story and turned it into an emoting, vapid flick appealing to hipsters rather than the subtle commentary on the bleakness of humanity the novel is.

By the way, in the book, the Eloi are the pathetic descendants of the pampered British upper classes who've lost all ability to care for themselves. The Morlocks are the descendants of the British working class, having turned the tables on their former masters by robbing the Eloi of any and all ability at self-sufficience and made the Eloi their primary food source. Those particular political overtones should make you hate the book if the rest of your post is any indication. (Although I enjoy the novel, I disagree strongly with Wells' staunch socialist views as presented in this book, though I note and accept their presence in his work.)

Beyond that, all of your discussion of the race card, demeaning of black mothers, and oblique mention of slavery reparations have no place here. The Time Machine (2002) is a vapid, poorly directed popcorn flick lacking any discernible political statement unlike its source story. You tip your own race-obsessed hand with this puerile rant and your attendant outrage over casting choices. I see literally no reason to savage those of mixed or non-white ancestry simply because Simon Wells cast Samantha Mumba as the female lead in a film adaptation of H. G. Wells' famous story.

Requiescat in pace, Krystle Papile. I'll always miss you.

You're an idiot.

You're a moron. Wells' Elois were blonde but they were also very short and they had the intelligence and attention span of a 5 year old. Why don't you complain about that?

And you claim not to be racist but everything you wrote screams of racism.

"I am not a racist"

This silly movie reminded me of the Blue Minx song....we ended up with 'coffee coloured people by the score'

I wish he was spinning so fast so he could time travel and personally slap you in the face.

Applied Science? All science is applied. Eventually.

Most white people have dark hair and dark eyes. Most whites are not blonde and blue eyed. That's silly as NAZI, Nordic superman poppycock. True blonde hair is pretty rare in adult Caucasians. Most of the "blonde" women running around are fake blondes. Compare the number of "blonde" men to "blonde" women.

As far as "race mixing" that has happened, often by force, since forever. Virtually all black Americans are mixed and that goes back for hundreds of years. Thomas Jefferson and Strom Thurmond were not rarities.

As far as black women are concerned they have the exact same amount of kids as white women, around 2. The amount of black Americans has been stagnated for decades. Only Hispanic women have more (around 2.4). You can't "live" off of welfare since welfare reform that happened in 1996. Yet racists like yourself still have this ridiculous 1980's mentality.

I highly doubt you pay federal taxes anyway so the idea of you paying for "welfare" is ridiculous anyways. Most likely you are delusional white trash.

The largest "minority" in the US is Hispanic. And most people on planet earth are Asian. This black and white dichotomy is something only stupid, racist Americansxare stuck in. This film is different from the book and takes place in NYC, not England. If you have ever been out of whatever backwater *beep* you are from you would know NYC is pretty "brown" already. No time travel needed. Then again the vast majority of the cast was British or Australian and most of the Eloi looked Asian to me but idiots like you don't even consider the billions of Asian people on earth.

And for the record I never even got the idea that they were necessarily descended from any particular or blend of races but after 800K years people could change. The only reason different skin color exists is Vitamin D deficiency vs sunburn. If the ecology changed to a much more sunny, tropical sun even in NYC just about all humans would easily adapt dark skin. This film already has one group of humans evolve for life in subterranean conditions, there is no reason why a lighter person wouldn't have darker descendants after 800 years in tropical environments. The albinos under the earth may have had darker ancestors. But I guess basic biology and evolution (which where big themes in the film directly referenced) are lost on you troglodyte.

You know what's funny shooshoo, studies show that within the next thousand years mostly everyone will be a shade of brown. There's is no such thing as race in scientific terms. I can't wait for the day that all people are different and no one gives a *beep* about the color of your skin. It's also quite hilarious that people who are obviously racist always say they are not racist. Have fun in that closed mind of yours, it must be sad and lonely.
