The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

Came across a meme a few minutes ago and I dunno if it's a new or old one, but does anyone think that the next tarzan could be played by a black actor, like was touted for bond films (although touted and happened are obviously not the same thing at all) etc?

Not getting into which films were and weren't already done in such a way but the tarzan one did get me thinking a bit about the funny side of it all

[Sworntothecans]

There could definitely be a decent take on it for sure provided you had good writers but the last one was a bomb and Warner's will play it safe with guaranteed draws from flogging the dead horse that is their IPs.

Idris Elba would have been a great Bond , but his PR and himself brought up Bond anytime there was a camera present and EON productions aren't fans of Actors going into business for themselves.

Wouldn't have minded Elba as bond at all and can't see how he would break the mould any worse than what has already been done by casting Craig, but thinking of a studio getting Elba to play Tarzan is really giving me a chuckle but it would also be a fairly cool move if people wanted to move on from the whole accusative commentary of actors being picked or not picked for colour.

Ethan Hawke as Shaft would also be another great one that should but won't happen. Actually no, fuck Hawke, it would have to be Nic Cage or nobody

If Nic Cage played Shaft I'd be the first in line at the cinema.

Martin Luther King Biopic starring Rob Schneider can't be that far off

Stephen Seagal is Lee Scratch Perry.

He's already good at reggae🤣

They should do a reboot of Boyz N Da Hood but cast it all white, and instead of gang violence you could have people being polite and washing their cars.

They could even really fuck with people and spell the title correctly as well 

Honestly it will probably have to get that stupid before it cools off but every time I think things can't get sillier, they always do so I'm not entirely confident that there is a real peak to the level of stupid in the world at all

Shocking if true.

Please god why can't these things happen just to show up the absurdity of having any agenda at all.

Guarantee the album would be shit though

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Did I miss a recent skin-colour swap casting decision or is all this just off the back of a meme?

Just read that there. It's fine because it's the far right and there's obviously no way that any government would use their state police service as a political tool to quash dissent of any kind. And no way would the gardai ever abuse their powers in any way shape or form. Thank god we don't live in a country like that
