No problem at all. I don't believe it to be ethnic, rather cultural. In the pagan Norse culture, the god was portrayed consistently in a specific manner. If there is no consistency or specifics, then fine, do what you like with it. My point is that if we are not portraying a...

Actually it is the words 'Norse Gods' that is the problem here. If you wanted 'American Gods', as in the novel, then invent them. It's easy and fun. I'm not saying that adaptations can't be good and that having Thor as a world-champion WE wrestler wouldn't be awesome, but I'm saying it should...

Because it doesn't make any god-damned sense. Yahweh is perfectly portrayable as any kind of human being, dove or burning bush because of the insubstantial nature of the character in question. He has no form, he has no physical representations (shut it, Christians), and he does not...

I don't recall talking about 'real guy's in my post - I was talking about fictional characters. And the mythical (fictional) character of Heimdall was indeed portrayed as a white Scandinavian. Perhaps we should make a movie adaptation of his life where he's played by a Japanese woman, eh?

I'm afraid I do feel that when an established character is played by an ethnically incompatible character, it is entirely pandering to the PC division, and not 'hey, we're living in the 21st century'. This is a pathetic piece of rhetoric that will not change my mind in any way. If we...

Because he was going to shake things up. He planned on dissolving the CIA, apparently.

Very good. Now, do you know who Huey Long was?

Does anyone know who Smedley Butler was?

Am I the only person who thinks that Bush jr is clear evidence that there is a puppetmaster behind the throne? Or did he mastermind and execute his brilliant term of office all on his own? And its amazing how far 'lone nuts' will go in a presidential system with a maximum term of 8 years...

Am I the only person who found the potential story (torturing prisoners in the lighthouse) more interesting than the entirely-predictable twist?

Deckard fucking Cain. I will not stay a while, and listen, I'm trying to save the world, you bumbling old fool!

This film sounds awful, just awful. I'm sure the review is just fine, but the film just sounds...fucking pathetic. That's right, 5,000 years of human cultural development has resulted in this kind of shit; kids jumping around like pricks backed up by silly special effects in some kind of...

I'd like to see those historical texts. Sparta defeated Athens in the Peloponnesian War. I'd recommend reading about the Battle of Leuctra instead: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Leuctra

I had to register just to post how seductive this thing is:
