It is so odd to have those two together in another franchise.

One of those men is a woman.

Looks awesome. Hollywood is finally getting it that people want women and

messi

4/26/19 2:40pm

It's funny how you pretend this is a new thing.

SandYFan

4/26/19 2:44pm

When will Hollywood get the idea that people want ugly people as leads?

StarMan

4/26/19 2:45pm

Right, if only the original MIB had cast a minority in a lead role 22 years ago.

Tommy LEE Jones is 1/1024 Asian.

Will Smith was already a household name.

messi

4/26/19 2:56pm

So that cancels out his minority status? Got it.

UNLVcougar

4/26/19 2:59pm

Think through it- why don’t they cast as many minorities as they probably

messi

4/26/19 3:01pm

How many "should" they? Shouldn't they be equal to percentage of population?

StarMan

4/26/19 3:03pm

No..actually, they shouldn't even be equal to the population.

UNLVcougar

4/26/19 3:09pm

You mean like Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o, who

messi

4/26/19 3:47pm

Was that her first starring role? She is very good.

NoOneOfConsequence

4/26/19 3:51pm

Yep.

messi

4/26/19 4:12pm

Was she up for other lead roles and lost out on them to less qualified

UNLVcougar

4/26/19 4:01pm

Who knows? She won an Oscar and couldn’t get a lead role.

messi

4/26/19 4:10pm

Who knows? Thanks. Come back when you actually have something for us.

UNLVcougar

4/26/19 4:27pm

Refute the facts. She won an Oscar in 2014,

messi

4/26/19 4:33pm

Great. Like I said, show me who she was up against during that time frame

UNLVcougar

4/26/19 4:40pm

You realize that everyone that gets a lead role gets a “first” lead role at some

CoachSpeak

In order to answer your question, I'll need a bit more information.

UNLVcougar

4/26/19 3:07pm

You mean by being previously cast as a lead in big-budget Hollywood movies?

Scratch

4/26/19 3:00pm

Nope. He was already a household name because his rap career and

messi

4/26/19 3:03pm

He was in the blockbuster Independence Day before MIB. You're bad at this.

SandYFan

4/26/19 3:05pm

Bad Boys was also a pretty big movie. But yes, Messi is struggling.

Scratch

4/26/19 3:09pm

And he was a household name then, too. Think harder.

messi

4/26/19 3:16pm

You make points that have no support and then snark about it. Just give up.

SandYFan

4/26/19 3:19pm

1) Your "argument" is changing as we go along; and 2) just about every white

Bad Boys, Six Degrees of Separation, Independence Day, Where the Day Takes You,

Which one of us got into BYU?

messi

4/26/19 3:14pm

You're embarrassing. Just bow out gracefully.

SandYFan

4/26/19 3:19pm

I knew lots of really dumb people at BYU.

Ozymandias

What was messi like in college? Was he already a GSW fan?

So that made him white?

CoachSpeak

4/26/19 8:06pm

Ghostbusters 2016 and Oceans' 8 would seem to contradict that, or at least these

StarMan

4/26/19 2:55pm

Who said that’s all they need to do?

messi

4/26/19 2:56pm

I don't think most people care. I think the majority just want good movies.

NoOneOfConsequence

4/26/19 3:16pm

You must not read CB much.

messi

4/26/19 3:17pm

I guess it depends on your definition of that much.

NoOneOfConsequence

4/26/19 3:19pm

For example...I remember watching Crazy Rich Asians in the theater last summer.

NoOneOfConsequence

4/26/19 3:24pm

I agree that most people just want good movies.

messi

4/26/19 3:41pm

Does CB have a largely "right" mindset. Sure. I think most would agree on that.

NoOneOfConsequence

4/26/19 3:49pm

Did you read the multiple threads about Captain Marvel?

messi

4/26/19 4:16pm

I have definitely read those threads on here. I think with Captain Marvel it's

In comparison to you, sure....

Like Oscar winner, Lupita? How much more qualified do

messi

4/26/19 4:11pm

So, the discovery of talented minority actors/actresses only counts

MapCoug

You aren’t following. She won an Oscar in 2014. She then
