Well. Aemon Send a noteboard - 10/02/2010 10:31:03 PM
Keep in mind that it's an American show made by an American network with characters who all speak English with an American accent. It's nominally set in Asia, but don't kid yourself about it being an Asian show. Shyamalan really hasn't changed anything by casting whites. We didn't go from Asian characters to Caucasian characters, we just went with a different shade of "American."

uhm, you make it sound like race should be the #1 prereq for a part. LadyLorraine - 10/02/2010 05:38:35 PM 705 Views
Well, that's not what I meant. Darth_Katie - 10/02/2010 09:44:07 PM 612 Views

I'm not saying it's an Asian show. You're right, it's totally American. Darth_Katie - 10/02/2010 10:55:37 PM 563 Views
That would be a great excuse if the lead villain in the movie weren't being played by an Indian. Ghavrel - 11/02/2010 05:26:49 AM 529 Views

Same thematic difference. Darth_Katie - 12/02/2010 03:09:12 PM 540 Views
There are dozens of movies with that "natury" theme LadyLorraine - 13/02/2010 02:49:15 PM 673 Views
I think you missed the winky face conveying less than seriousness. Darth_Katie - 13/02/2010 05:41:19 PM 628 Views
I agree about the shallowness of the characters LadyLorraine - 14/02/2010 02:35:45 AM 561 Views
I'm interested to see where they'll go with the sequel. Darth_Katie - 14/02/2010 05:34:55 AM 612 Views

NO IT ISN'T STOP USING NUMBERS OUT OF CONTEXT *NM* Ghavrel - 12/02/2010 02:44:45 AM 343 Views
he didn't use any numbers *NM* LadyLorraine - 12/02/2010 01:52:36 PM 305 Views
He's either relying on attendance or nominal gross, and neither is an accurate measurement. *NM* Ghavrel - 12/02/2010 03:09:03 PM 266 Views
...well...they're an accurate enough measurement of attendence or nominal gross! :p *NM* LadyLorraine - 13/02/2010 02:50:13 PM 317 Views
Nominal means nothing. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/02/2010 03:42:28 AM 315 Views
one can measure nothing!! *NM* LadyLorraine - 14/02/2010 04:24:39 PM 311 Views
agree with Lorraine + ... Bookwyrm - 10/02/2010 08:37:10 PM 732 Views
True, but I think that's because they were going for the anime style. Darth_Katie - 10/02/2010 10:09:41 PM 637 Views
This is a good video on the topic. Werthead - 11/02/2010 01:49:51 AM 768 Views
