>This wasn't Elba's fault
>>86248384
Elba was a red flag. Anybody and everybody who read the first two books knew that Roland being any race but black was important.
Its sony's fault for casting him, they want him as james bond so they could get more attention
>>86248384
of course it was, when in doubt ALWAYS blame the black man!

>>86248465
Right, which is devoid of his responsibility. But that is not what made the film received so poorly
>>86248557
The movie was received for shit because they turned a violent weird western into a 90 minute shitfest starring Jake and devoid of any and all atmosphere.
And no, casting Elba wasn't on Elba, but it was on Sony's shit-tier casting director.

I legitimately want Paul Feig to kill himself
>>86248708
Elba wasn't a shit casting because he can't act though, it's an improper casting because the character is explicitly white. It's a shit situation because left propaganda came in. And the films weakness has nothing to with performance. Specify more.

>And the films weakness has nothing to with performance.
Speak for yourself. Matt clearly phoned his performance in, the kid was awful, and Elba was comfortably set within his limited range.

Was this a torture drama?

Doublely dubsy

I want him to really reflect on his embarrassing commentary during his death.
>>86248965
Cowboys don't usually go through much range. Guess I need to see the film.
>>86249013
As in a commentary track?
What he say on it?
>>86249111
Lot of stupid shit. Let his cast take over direction. Didn't recognize a wizard of oz lyric the egon sang, depite it costing production thousands of dollars (said it was probably a Disney thing). Generally acted like a beta with zero authority despite being a director and kissed everybodys' asses.

Good genes
>>86249044
It's as you said. Inappropriate race-baity casting. Scott Eastwood could've played the role they'd written just as well and he can't act for shit.

Is this some weird Sony thing? Try to derail a thread hating on their terrible movies with shitposts.
Or is it some faggot doing it for free
>>86249581
>not shitposting in a sony thread
>>86248384
I cant believe people are surprised by this.
Its just like Ghost in the Shell. When a big name star is cast in an attempt to be "raceblind" relative to the source material it very clearly shows you that the intentions of the creators are not in the right place.
>>86249714
Exactly. I really hope this shuts down Sony's film division. Maybe when their unwarranted dark tower series about forbidden racemixing gets canned.
>>86249671
Is emoji cinema gud
>>86250176not even ironically. cookie cutter "be yourself" script that could've been applied to anything at all.

What?
Haven't seen the movie. Was the script written by Louis C.K.?
>>86250344
No, but it's run by the walking dead showrunner who brought us the farm season. It's based on Wizard and Glass, with Elba's Roland telling Jake the story of his doomed romance with Susan Delgado. I'll give you one guess what race she'll be.

Good job on watching the new Plinket.
Just came back from seeing it. It was awful. Lmao. Like they just didn't know what to focus on, and they used too much and explained way too little
