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 874 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 725 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 683 Views

Same thematic difference. Darth_Katie - 12/02/2010 03:09:12 PM 713 Views
There are dozens of movies with that "natury" theme LadyLorraine - 13/02/2010 02:49:15 PM 822 Views
I think you missed the winky face conveying less than seriousness. Darth_Katie - 13/02/2010 05:41:19 PM 795 Views
I agree about the shallowness of the characters LadyLorraine - 14/02/2010 02:35:45 AM 721 Views
I'm interested to see where they'll go with the sequel. Darth_Katie - 14/02/2010 05:34:55 AM 773 Views

NO IT ISN'T STOP USING NUMBERS OUT OF CONTEXT *NM* Ghavrel - 12/02/2010 02:44:45 AM 416 Views
he didn't use any numbers *NM* LadyLorraine - 12/02/2010 01:52:36 PM 375 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 336 Views
...well...they're an accurate enough measurement of attendence or nominal gross! :p *NM* LadyLorraine - 13/02/2010 02:50:13 PM 394 Views
Nominal means nothing. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/02/2010 03:42:28 AM 384 Views
one can measure nothing!! *NM* LadyLorraine - 14/02/2010 04:24:39 PM 384 Views
agree with Lorraine + ... Bookwyrm - 10/02/2010 08:37:10 PM 893 Views
True, but I think that's because they were going for the anime style. Darth_Katie - 10/02/2010 10:09:41 PM 805 Views
This is a good video on the topic. Werthead - 11/02/2010 01:49:51 AM 958 Views
