I feel like the forum is being probed.

I feel a Cartman comment would not be appropriate in this PG rated forum.

The Beach Bum does not even have a release date in Australia. Based on the trailer, it looks like a Hunter S Thompson character film.

Somehow I have no idea he has a new film out.. thank you FLY!

But.. not only doesn’t it have a release date in Singapore, it doesn’t seem to be released anywhere in Asia. But there is a chance that it gets a private screening so I will look out for it

Remember when Tim Burton came out and said that black people don’t fit in with the “aesthetic" of his films? Remember when Woody Allen said he would never cast a black actor unless it was "required?" Ridley Scott once said he wouldn't ever be able to get approval to mount a major motion picture or ever receive financing to make a film starring someone named "Mohammed so-and-so from such-and-such." Y'all want to be mad at Jordan Peele for saying he's not interested in telling white stories when your faves have been deliberately, openly excluding black people from participating in their work since the beginning of film history and y'all haven't had shit to say. One director saying he's focusing on telling black stories and using black actors isn't oppressive to white people.

I just want a better representation of gnarly bearded men in my cinema. I don't care what skin color.

That quote is so confusing, not because I disagree with what he's saying but because I find it hard to believe there are people worth responding to who are mad that Jordan Peele doesn't want to tell white stories. Who are these people?

Also I didn't know Burton or Allen said those things, though upon reflection neither sounds particularly surprising. I can't picture what a meaningful role for a black role in a Woody Allen film would look like, but a non-white person could absolutely fit in Burton's aesthetic.
