I wouldn't doubt it. It's still bullshit though.
I watched about 30 minutes of that Exodus: Gods and Kings shithole the other day. Most of the random servants/workers were brown people but the main actors were all white. Ramses? Fucking Australian. Ramses mom? Sigourney Fucking Weaver.
I also get annoyed anytime I see a depiction of a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jesus.

Still enjoyable though.
Need to watch that again since I enjoyed it but remember it wasn't really the Cruise character that was really the "Last Samurai" [Reply]

That's open for interpretation, I guess.
Since the word samurai is singular and plural form, it could be talking about the last of all samurai, referencing Katsumoto himself, or maybe Cruise. Who cares. It's still bullshit. [Reply]

You'll figure out why soon enough.
I've hated her character all through the series.
She is clearly the woman's lib-rah-rah character but they should have made her more likable.
I'm a princess-I'm a whore-I'm intelligent- I'm powerful-I'm able to hang drinking with you. I just feel like she didn't convey what they were clearly going for as the opposite of Draper.
It sounds like every reason why men hate psychotic women. It negates the gains they wanted to give her character and while we're supposed to cheer for her (as the underdog) I just don't care.
This is a show about how men ruled the world and held women to a much lower stature and her character found a way to make me not care despite how much it was in my face... [Reply]
Watched The Voices the other day, with Ryan Reynolds playing a psychotic. Man, what a twisted movie. Nothing phenomenal or anything, but it was weird and cool and entertaining. Wrapped up in a nice WTF bow tie ending.

If I get to see him slowly kill Anna Kendrick it will be worth my time.
