    The people who made the casting choice were told by Disney they couldn’t cast either, it was that or get replaced by someone else who would play ball.

    It’s ridiculous to expect them to remove themselves from a multimillion dollar project that would get done anyway with or without them.

    The only one of these that is remotely acceptable, to me, is Tilda Swindon, because they explicitly detached themselves from the character to avoid getting shat on by the CCP for casting a Tibetan and from Americans for casting a Chinese person.

    The others are all crap, IMO.

    Every time a character is <color>washed we lose the chance to be exposed to global actors that would fit their profile.


















  • The CEO is not the issue here.

    The man sold 50k stocks in the company just this year, 2k of which the day before the announcement, he knows this is suicide.

    The board needs to go, but the reality is that unless you go private there’s not much to do on that front.

    In fact, when they do fire him, don’t expect things to change. This is an Ellen Pao maneuver.
