He's still not Persian

music: Shakira - Que Me Quedes Tú
So, the trailer for the new Prince of Persia movie, starring a white guy playing a Persian prince and a white British chick playing an Indian woman and PoC as extras, side characters (ie, an Indian woman is the white BRITISH woman-playing-an-Indian woman's servant) and the bad guy (the Vizier).



Yeah, so, this trailer made me want to run right out and see something else--it looks like a bland, generic action movie with "witty" dialogue, and if I want explosions and bullet time, I'll just rewatch the Matrix. I now have zero regrets about my decision to not see this movie.

Hollywood execs must have the lowest opinion of white males out of any other group in the world. ...Of course, said opinion is still better than how they pretend that anyone who isn't a white male doesn't exist.

Hmm, the game annoys me everytime I even go to load it anyway so I wasn't too bothered by the thought of the film coming out. Uuh, as far as my opinion of it after watching this trailer, as much as I love the fact more British actors are becoming popular, it just don't fit, O Hollywood.
