"he said actors of color need to be cast in more thoughtful films that tell culturally specific stories."

This guy doesn't get it. That, in itself, is racism. Why should a black actor restrict himself to "culturally specific stories"?

That said, I can't imagine anyone but Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden. Bang Zoom, to the moon, Alice...

I have no problem at all with remakes like the Honeymooners. Like 99% of the dreck Hollywood puts out I will not see it until it is on cable anyway.

There's got to be lots of mafia types getting pissed at Hollywood's ideas on making movies.

How in the he world these guys stay in business is anyones idea.

I guess it is idiot business to cross casts colored actors because they supposedly work cheaper.

I'll always give Cedric a bit of leeway for his performance in "Barbershop". When he went on his Jesse Jackson rant, everybody in the theater, black and white, started cheering.
