Jesus Fucking Christ. They're SERIOUS?
A bunch of whining idiots are actually complaining that Alec Baldwin is playing a man who goes blind...and he ISN'T REALLY BLIND?
I give up. Name me some FAMOUS BOX OFFICE actors who are BLIND.
Doesn't the idiotic Ruderman Family Foundation understand what ACTING means? Should we only hire convicts to play criminals? Only hire REAL lawyers to play lawyers? REAL mongoloids to play politicians?
Where does the "politically correct" brigade draw the line? Or SHOULD they draw the line if they aren't professional artists or draftsmen? Or draftsWOMEN.
Did they read the fucking script? It seems that the movie is about a guy who GOES BLIND. Were there scenes where he had his sight?
All they're doing is calling attention to how stupid they are, and giving free plugs to Baldwin's movie.
This is similar to all the hoo-ha over "Life is Beautiful," with Jewish groups whining (what else is news) that they were being VICTIMIZED. You're NOT ALLOWED to make a movie about concentration camps. Not if there's a HINT of humor. NO. NOT ALLOWED. Did they see the movie? No, they just heard about it and decided to try and keep it from being shown. You'd think Jews would know something about blind persecution. Oh, but only BLIND JEWS would know about that!!
How fucking insane are we getting, when the media even bothers to publish this shit?
James Stacy became HALF AN ACTOR after a horrific motorcycle accident. A script was made for him, about a guy who had a ski accident. Hooray. He made a one-off movie. After that, helpful people tried to just cast him as a normal guy with no disability. They'd put him behind a desk and he'd sit and say his lines. Maybe they'd have him stand at a particular angle. But not walk or hobble to distract the audience into wondering why this character had only one arm and leg.
Wrong? Right? We could be here all night discussing this shit. Should only Blacks play Blacks and Jews play Jews? Is it PC to put a whole bunch of Blacks into a Shakespeare play when it's about ROMANS? When do you suspend disbelief and why?
Marlee Matlin has had some kind of career, despite being deaf. Has EVERY role been about a deaf woman? Should it be?
Lord, let's get the PC brigade to BAN Raymond Burr's "Ironside" because he wasn't really paralyzed. Ban "The Godfather" because Marlon Brando wasn't really with the Mafia. Ban Lee Remick's "Wait Until Dark" because SHE wasn't blind. Ban Patty Duke's 'The Miracle Worker" because SHE wasn't blind and deaf. NEVER show "Frankenstein" because they didn't get a guy actually made up of dead body parts...
