Stop casting rappers!


What could've been a good movie was completely ruined for me by the most unrealistic choice for a chess wizard. Typically, a chess wizard should be a social shut-in, normally an old russian dude or some guy who doesn't do well with others. Not some guy who sings about shakin it like a polaroid picture. I swear so many potentially good movies have been destroyed by casting departments doing favors for rap stars. Stop making me try to believe Andre 3000 can act. Oh yeah, Big Puss doesn't exactly cut it for a quantum physics guy either, but that's another discussion.

Oh, so is that the reason they had that moron in this movie? The retarded dumb ass could hardly act, every line he delivered was without energy. Not to mention how ludicrous it is to believe some guy with a ghetto accent is a chess wizard, much less a criminal mastermind.

Chalk it up to America's degenerate culture. Ghetto trash culture has basically become pop culture, as the country devolves back into a primitive state, as happens to every empire. It eventually becomes overrun by its former slaves, just like Sparta and ancient Egypt. In the latter's case, by the time a black pharaoh ascended the throne, it was already an image of its former self, just like the US.

You watched the movie, right? So you know that these two characters aren't real?

Also, I thought he played his role well. The kicker? I didn't know he is a rapper until this thread. So, maybe, a huge chunk of "don't cast rappers" is bias?

I agree. They also can't act to save their lives. Look at the movie "The Man With The Iron Fists." Same boring, monotone expressions. Trying to act all cool.

in the entertainment industry, rappers are at the lowest of the talent and creativity rung, even below michael bay. so while it's a generalization, it's still mostly true. most rappers ruin everything they touch.

It's official, if you say anything even remotely negative about a black person, YOU ARE A RACIST.

Live with it cuz that is the way of the world.

Small minded people who worship PC and not common sense...just silly.
