You got that backwards,dear. Diversity means including people of color to help maintain diversity within an all-white cast, which.let's be real is usually the norm in Hollywood.
I've seen stuff on the net about it, and it sounded very intriguing. It's been getting some good reviews,though.
I know! I'm from the D and it was a trip hearing someone actually mention Corktown (which is still a beautiful place to live today) in a TV show! I was like, whoa! First time I ever heard that! Another reason I'm starting to like this show--just started watching it, because it sounded interesting as hell.
Uh,no---the truth is, the movie wasn't considered to be that great, and from what I heard, it was more about some random white guy than it was about Bruce Lee. That was said to be the main problem with it. Basically, it sounds like the filmmakers didn't think Bruce Lee could carry his own story, which was stupid on their part. It has nothing to do with SJWs or whatever, and everything to do with the fact that it was said to not even be that good in the first place. I mean, it was made over a year ago, and still didn't get much promotion.
They look nothing alike---I don't know where that comes from. Jones just looks like a typical blonde, while Danes has a more unique look.
Believe it or not, at least 200 other women have come forth after that article saying that Toback harassed them too----geesh.
Not surprised,though.
Yeah, well, this "pile of crap" made close to $300 mil at the box office, so it was a straight up box office hit. Apparently a hell of a lot of other filmgoers disagreed with you. And it's actually a pretty good action-packed war film. It just that too many of you are so used to predictable Hollywood films, you don't know how to deal with anything that's different from the norm.
There was very little shaky cam in this flick. What are you talking about?
Oh, come on. The film never dragged one single time (for me,anything) and Styles was only a small but significant part of it. I liked all parts of the entire movie, period. All the parts added up very well together to form an extremely striking whole in and of itself.
Actually, there's a lot going on in the movie-----it's just not spelled out for the average viewer from A to B to C. Basically it shows you more than it tells you, which was refreshing. I like how it immersed you into the experience to the point where you really felt like you were going through everything the soldiers went through. That was my experience with the film, anyway. I like the fact that it was kind of unpredictable, because you didn't always know what was going to happen----in fact, there was one scene that completely startled the hell out of me, because what happened in it happened so quick, you almost didn't have time to take it in. I was like, "Damn! What the hell just happened!" (I'm not even trying to spoil it---you got to see it for yourself.) I think part of the reason it was a big hit was precisely because it was something different---it wasn't a superhero or a horror movie, or part of any type of a big known franchise, and it was also about a major incident in World War II that most Americans aren't familiar with, since it was a British-French event. Plus it was actually shot on film, which gave a unique and distinct look from your usual digital films. All of those factors pretty much made it stand out from the usual summer flick, plus the unusual soundtrack helped to enhance the scenes, and express the horror the soldier felt at being trapped like mice in a cage on this island.

"Knock boots"---old-school saying, but what a hilarious way to put that,lol!
The thing is, Salva, having been convicted of what he did, can never work with children again, and that's the only reason, I think, that he's able to still work in the business. I could be wrong on that. And I think he still has to register as a sex offender whenever he works. Keep in mind, he was convicted and deservedly had to serve jail time for what he did---and he has not been convicted of anything else since, and did express remorse for what he did to his victim. That dosen't justify anything he did, but it might explain why he is still working in the business.
Where's the proof of that? Currently, only about 1 woman has said that he actually raped her. Nobody know how many women he slept with, and at the pioint, who the hell cares? He's going to be persona non grata in Hollywood soon.
The exact ones who didn't want to be bothered with his a**.
tararod:
That's some bull****, and you know it. So if someone gets raped, and the rapist gets away with it, they're still not supposed to say anything about it years later, no matter how bad it affects them? That's such a stupid, ignorant and backwards thing to say. You and not a virus need to realize that life isn't as simple as you seem to think it is when it comes to matters such as sexual harassment.
notavirus:
No, he's only started to lose everything because practically every actress he harrassed or threatened in Hollywood over the last 25 years have finally decided to open up about what he did to them after years of silence. THAT'S what has brought him down---as dedicated as the Italian model was to taking him down, the police and DAs still decided not to move forward with the case, even with her wiretap as evidence. So,unfortunately, it wasn't her case that took him down----you got that wrong. Read the story again.
Seriously? And enough with the "social justice warriors" BS. That's a term right wingers have hijacked just to shut up anyone who's not a right wing nut, like them. That has nothing to do with this subject. And real social justice advocates rarely call themselves "warriors" anyway. Tired of people interjecting politics where it dosen't even belong. You make it sound like it was so easy---the bottom line is even if they had told someone at the time, more than likely nothing would have changed. You forget that when both Paltrow and Jolie started out in the business,they were virtually unknowns,and the Weinsteins were major power brokers in Hollywood----they could make or break careers. Even if they had gone up against him, there's no guarantee that he wouldn't have crushed both their careers before they even got started (more than likely Harvey Weinstein would have, because he was that vindictive and petty, like a lot of men with some power, when he didn't get what he wanted.) And then, with no one supporting them, would they have gotten anyone to believe enough to make a case against him? I really don't think so. Especially since so many people's careers depended upon Miramax at the time. And let's be real---it would have been blown off as a "he said, she said" thing,too. If if was as easy as you think it was, Weinstein would have been gone a long, long time ago. So don't put that all on Paltrow or Jolie, neither of whom had the name recognition or power to do anything about it at the time. That's ridiculous.
Yeah, he does have a dumpy-looking nose, but I like it anyway--it's still kinda cute,lol.
To be fair, Jude Law is a very good actor, and like Philippe, he still looks damn good for his age.
There are older women that prefer younger man, too, you know.
