    when was the last time Kevin Spacey was in a bad movie?
    How about Laurence Fishburne? don't dare say Deep Cover! Deep Cover was awesome and a theme song was legendary!

    This movie sold out in so many ways. They didn't even explain how card counting works because the casinos paid them off.

    This movie could have been a classic. :(

    it was explained that it would have bored the audience to death. they wanted to concentrate on the relationships between the characters.

    this is gonna go off topic. . . maybe even should have its own thread but . . .

    I have been curious about this. . .
    ANIME
    QUESTION: While most anime is made in Japan . . . Why are most of their characters European looking?

    Is this an attempt to sell more to the West?
    [If so shouldn't they make them in english originally?]

    I am legitiamately curious about this

    I once read an op/ed detailing the supposed shame that came from losing WW2, which led to a public drive to emulate Western culture in order to modernize. Part of that shame led them to believe that Europeans were better looking.

    Too bad this was way back or I'd have a link in hand. Nowadays, I think they draw that way out of habit. There's more animation with Asian looking faces. But I too am curious if anyone else has an idea about how the style started.

    though that is more based on a video game
    Honda is chinese . .
    but
    Ryu is Japanese . .and he looks more like Charlie Sheen than a Japanese person

    Naruto has a Japanese name as all the characters do
    but
    he is blond haired and Blue eyed
    [I dunno alot about Japanese but Blond and Blue eyes does not seem common at all]
