And the Saga Continues

This is sheer entertainment: the Daily Mail chimes in.

I think they were out of good subjects. Which is curious in this period of time. But then again, the economical crisis is so boring and passé.

Like no one so far, I do not have the answer of why. I would like to add a question; Why are the Brits so offended? For as much as I know, all nationalities get typecast all the time, it hurts my eyes (and ears).

And then they wouldn't let Jonathan Pryce play a half-blood (Caucasian)Mongolean guy, because he was totally Caucasian instead of half or completely Mongolean. WTF!?

I think they are all only out to confuse me. No need, for that last sentence confused me enough.

For goof (yes, that was a typo, but I rather liked it) measure and to give my blog some well earned colour:

It IS a Fruit

I'm utterly fascinated by the 'Why are Brits always cast as villains?' discussion. I'm utterly fascinated, because all arguments are hilarious and/or have no ground to stand on, nor do they answer Dame Dench's demand. (edit: Of course I was wrong about the Dame; it was Dame Helen Mirren who made the comment. My sincere apologies to Dame Dench.)

Fact is that almost anyone, that includes Americans, Brits, Chinese, you and I, cast certain people in the villain roles as much we typecast other people in other certain roles. It's not right and it's not wrong. It's only our wicked and twisted way of telling good from bad.

Then again, somewhere along the line we started to root for the baddies in Hollywood productions. They must have done something right, those Brits.
