How about turning some black characters white?

Damn you hollywood!!!!, you scrape the bottom of the barrel. Yet, you still can't give us a manimal movie?

Manimal!!!

knbber2: I actually like Denzel, but The Equalizer is an old white guy. I guess we can expect a new Shaft starring Ryan Gosling.

Tom Hanks starring in The Last N*gger On Earth

Someone else must have caught Man on Fire on cable over the weekend.

Cool.

He'll play a solitary, monastic figure who hates injustice and devotes himself to helping people who are being victimized.

Black Jack Reacher!!!

Well I hope someone mimics him on the night of the release and mows down another packed theater.

Here you go Zimmy

If Stewart Copeland is hired to do the music, count me in

That show sucked - the only cool thing was that they pimped a shiny Desert Eagle.

It'd be like making a Vengeance Unlimited movie with Tyler Perry as Mr. Chapel.

/If anyone even remembers Vengeance Unlimited, please speak up now.

I look forward to seeing him in "Flight". It looked like a good movie.

Well, this will be terrible. If you're going to do something that's slightly similar to something that came before, but isn't the same, call it something different. Please.

Do you really want to go there?

- Othello
- Showboat
- True Grit
- World Trade Center

just to show how long it's been happening, with honorable mentions to:

- 21 (asian to white)
- Last Samurai (english to american)
- and every cowboys and Indian movie, ever.

fusillade762: Have another drink or 10. Maybe your posts will start to make sense.

oh, shut the f*ck up, you have a retarded username. tell me how to f8cking drink

was I unclear? Denzel washington is a pompous f*cking prick

and very, very special shout-out to

- any production of the Aesop's tale (that wasn't even his name)
- any on-screen or play production featuring any story involving the AEthiopians Andromeda, Cassiopeia, Cephus
- 'The Conqueror' (really, John Wayne?)

and of course, Zefferelli's 'Jesus of Nazareth'. I love it to death, but it -- like all Hollywood versions -- went through a 'Last Airbender'

You'd prefer he do a modern shuck and jive like Samuel L? What makes Samuel L.'s brand of machismo less threatening, more desireable, than Denzel Washington's brand of machismo?

whooter: We already have an updated "Equalizer". It's called "Burn Notice".

Hmm ... you're sort of right. Except the Equalizer, which I also liked, was more of a "lone figure," type, a somewhat higher-class dude, and rather frowny. Also, he wore a suit. Well, I guess I don't need to get that literal. Your point is well taken.

Anyway, I liked the TV show. I particularly enjoyed that episode where he was helping some poor, f*cked-over woman get justice from a scumbag, and the Equalizer told her up front that he wouldn't waive his fee; even though she was destitute, she'd have to pay him back if it took forever. Hee, hee.

I don't think that'll be necessary. You seem to have that part nailed.

I think I shall turn this discussion over to my colleague.

Colleague?


If it doesn't have Kostmayer in it, it won't be worth it.

Who is going to play Edward Woodward's sweet Jaguar?

killzoe: If Stewart Copeland is hired to do the music, count me in

First thing that I thought of, too. I can't remember if I even liked that show or not, but the music was fantastic.

The Why Not Guy: Who is going to play Edward Woodward's sweet Jaguar?

Some actress named Mercedes Benz... I've never heard of her.

might be Julie's sister?

knbber2: I actually like Denzel, but The Equalizer is an old white guy. I guess we can expect a new Shaft starring Ryan Gosling.

They already have a white Shaft. It's called most every non-buddy cop action movie.

This.

I think Keith Szarabajka should have played the Equalizer, with William Zabka (played McCall's son, also Johnny in Karate Kid) helping out.

MadAzza: whooter: We already have an updated "Equalizer". It's called "Burn Notice".

Hmm ... you're sort of right. Except the Equalizer, which I also liked, was more of a "lone figure," type, a somewhat higher-class dude,

The Equalizer had help in the majority of the episodes. Usually from Mickey Kostmayer, sometimes from Harley Gage. Of course, McCall ran the show, even though Keith Szarabajka did an excellent job as Mickey. With Burn Notice, I always liked Sam Axe more than Michael Weston.

Coelacanth: Start with Wall Street.

Kill a few of them.


You'll still be poor but happy, right?

Since Edward Woodward is no longer with us, and Sir Patrick Stewart is a little on the older side now, I'm mostly OK with this.

Really should be Idris Elba though.

I also really liked Jimmy...


... one of those hangdog, seen-it-all, been-through-it-all types, not really having interest in anything... until you gave him something to do. Then he was ruthlessly efficient.

Shame he had to blow himself up in that nursing home.

I'm surprised they didn't have Nic Cage do it, since he did such a great job playing Woodward's role in The Wicker Man remake. Or maybe do another Wicker Man remake, but with Denzel Washington.

theflatline: It should be the guy who plays Mike from Breaking Bad.

Now that is a damn good suggestion. He's played a grim-faced badass for most of his career.

What the hell is wrong with you?

My guess is they wouldn't let him in to the cinema to see it without his mommy being there.

I guess I should tell all of you to get off my lawn.
