I shouldn't be up at this ungodly hour...
Feb. 1st, 2011 09:40 pm...but I'm just generally feeling lonely.
Things I regret:
-Not really going outside in the snow. I've been so busy writing. :(
Things that keep me awake:
-There was a casting controversy regarding The Hobbit with a Pakistani woman complaining about New Line being "racist" because they wouldn't let her play a Hobbit extra. Granted, one of the casting guys was pretty rude, but I don't think she should have pulled a Wounded Gazelle Gambit. Besides, what's the glory in being basically tokenized? In a way, that was a weird way of being nice. You rather have been in The Last Airbender and suffered from M. Night "so-called Hitchcock" Shyamalan's attempts to "diversify" his "masterpiece"? Second of all, this is Middle Earth. Middle Earth is based on typically Old English society, and while granted some minorities do live in England today (Bollywood actor Dev Patel, for example, is actually a Brit. :) Sorry, but even mentioning Dev Patel makes me smile for some reason), Tolkien...didn't really have those in mind when he was writing Middle Earth. He wasn't a racist man, though. While he was mired in some of the prejudices of his time period, there are passages, like his musings on the Harad, where it shows he genuinely tried to overcome them. Ergo, yes, it sucks. Yes, the casting guy was out of line and being fired wasn't exactly a Disproportionate Punishment. But the next time that Tolkien or Peter Jackson is called racist for not being M. Night Shyamalan, or some assholes on racalicious dissing the actors on Firefly just because they're white (including Summer Glau, which was a big Moral Event Horizon for me. <.>), I'm going to take those goddamn self-righteous straw liberal monkey-shit-for-brains racebenders, tie them up in my basement with elven rope, and force them to watch Uwe Boll movies. That or...just steal their genitalia and pickle them in a jar. Don't worry, they'll get them back -- when they goddamn deserve them. :D
/sadistic glee.
I think the worst part about it is that I actually don't hate the Racebenders. I mean, on the street, I'd probably punch them in the face -- then just apologize frantically. "Oh my goodness, I am so sorry! I was stupid! I really thought your article on gender and race in THE LAST AIRBENDER was great!"
And I'd better be going now. Sorry if I unintentionally disturbed anybody; I just got pissed off. :(
'Night.
