I'll just leave this motherfucker here.

Perfect casting decision IMO

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

RIP Charlie Murphy.

[–] ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

Boondocks my beloved.

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Literally the best show ever made. I've seen every episode like 80 times, and it's still hilarious every time.

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Uncle Ruckus pledging to beat and harass every black person with extreme prejudice is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 3 points 4 months ago

Lol @ when he tries to do the exercism on Tom by forcing him to "learn to read."

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 52 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I know right? I've been hoping to see him play as a pregnant Asian woman. He's just holding himself back..

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Imagine him playing a woman giving birth, the mutherfucking force of nature unleashed at that moment would be rewarded with all Oscars, at once.

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Jackson would probably have more engaging birth than Arnold's scene in Junior.

If Daniel Day Lewis wasn't retired for the 3rd or 4th time, he'd be all over it. Maybe Christian Bale's available.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If anyone could play a preggo Asian woman, you know it's
Rob Schneider!

[–] BanjoShepard@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

If he can play a stapler, he can be a pregnant Asian woman too!

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's just racist. For a long time gay actors were afraid to come out because they would be stuck only playing gay parts (very few).

Black people need to get together and protest. They need to convince directors that they can play white characters too! Black actors shouldn't be afraid to come out as black.

[–] polonius-rex@kbin.run 27 points 4 months ago (3 children)

you say this but rdj doesn't always play white guys

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 33 points 4 months ago
[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 27 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Does playing a white guy playing a black guy count?

"What do you mean, you people?"

"What do YOU MEAN, you people??"

[–] VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm the dude who's playing a dude who's disguised as another dude.

Can you imagine an SL Jackson and RDJ movie where they race swap? That would be hilarious!

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 14 points 4 months ago

White Chicks sequel looking 🔥

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

They've got a point. Robert Downey Jr. has played many white roles over the years.

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (3 children)

He played a black guy in Tropic Thunder.

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 10 points 4 months ago

Which is weird because how can a black guy be cast as a white guy in every single movie he's been in except one?

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

No no he's a black actor who played a white man in everything but Tropic Thunder.

Because he is not as versatile of an actor as esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie, of course.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Why does Margot Robbie always play black guys?

[–] Liz@midwest.social 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Margot Robbie, I'm beginning to think you're not the real Margot Robbie.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

It's almost scary how good I am at acting...

[–] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

But a bet MargotRobbie is a real Margot Robbie.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

In star wars, he didn't play a black guy, he played an alien.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 4 months ago

The real human homeworld is actually in the Star Wars galaxy.

Don't worry about it. It's not Tattoine. We didn't destroy that climate too.

(It is, we did)

[–] Shkshkshk@dice.camp 7 points 4 months ago

@Godric
So unfair that they keep typecasting black actors into playing black characters.

[–] Taalen@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Well, he does play Nick Fury.

[–] dudinax@programming.dev 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He plays a white guy in Kingsmen.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

White guy with a lisp, you almost can’t recognize him

[–] ryper@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nick Fury was Black in the (first) Ultimate universe

Nick Fury wasn't always a black character.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

That is true. They changed him to look like Sam Jackson. And then they started making Marvel movies afterwards, and were able to cast him as Nick Fury.

Plus you're just repeating what multiple other people have already said a day ago.

[–] kelargo@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Jim Steranko art style was unique.

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

You can't prove his character in Inglorious Basterds isn't white

[–] Marcocappe@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

It's not me guys!

[–] TheEntity@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Because he's good at playing outlaws, duh. /s

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Because when he tried to play a white guy he got sued by Dave Chappelle.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

(black) samuel_jackson

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He didn't play a black guy in Coming to America.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Or the boondocks
