American cinema = British *******s

[RogueLDN]

What is up with that, I just watched the trailer to flyboys and the british were mnade out to be arrogant *******s. I am absolutely tired of the fact that hollywood rarely offers the best british actors much more than evil villain roles. This seriously has me pissed. I dont see this thread lasting long cos most of those on will be Us/Canada e.t.c but i really wonder why they feel the need to do that. Mel Gibson is a prime example. I think he has the jews and the english in the same boat. I think a modicom of it is jealousy.

I need more booze.

Because american filmmakers, or rather the studio's are simple minded, and must empower the american public by making brits badguys, as it gives them an air of superiority over the brits. They need to do this as England is the only post-industrial society in the world,

nice answer/ ta

 

[SpideyInATree]

I guess I just don't notice the plethora of British bad guys.

I also don't watch a lot of new movies either. Strictly a comic book reader/book reader here. And when all the new seasons of the television shows come back on I'll be into that.

I always notice that, they make the brits look like the villains or look down on them.
Screw the Americans, The British Rule

I guess all those James Bond movies were for nothing then, huh?

Bond was created by a British man.

 

[SpideyInATree]

Well, you said Hollywood. Not writers. Hollywood made the James Bond movies did they not? Or was that England too?

I live like 30 mins from london, here's a joke:

An englishman, scotsman and frenchman find a magic lamp, they all get one of the three wishes. the scotsman wishes for money then runs back into the hills. The frenchman looks at disgust at the englishman, and wishes for a dome to cover the whole of france, so only the french can be there.
The englishman pauses, looks at the frenchman and wishes for.....















the dome to be filled with water

What are American actors cast as in Britain?

whatever role the individual actor is best suited for

So, if "Brits" don't care about the USA than how come a "Brit" just dedicated a thread to American cinema and their portrayal of British characters. I mean, if "Brits" don't care about the USA and all.

And I love how you ignored my post from earlier though. Yes, James Bond had a British writer but the "Evil" Hollywood made the movies.

 

[Enzyme]

Uh, no. Nobody today could care less about it.

However, it is annoying whenever you talk about it as though a few farmers with pitchforks took on and defeated the entire British army.

we don't care about USA, we care about films. And about acting. Country, gender, race, sexuality etc, all mean nothing, unfortunately, the american industry does not think so...
