i'm super excited to see this movie biggrin!

what about the rest of you?

i'm curious to see what kind of controversy this movie will start, considering Robert Downey Jr is in blackface hmmm


Downey's not in blackface, he's in black make-up. HUGE difference. They aren't that damn crazy. Some blacks have already protested the movie because of it but I don't see how it's any different than Eddie Murphy playing the old Jewish man in the barber shop in "Coming To America" or Martin Lawrence playing White Bob From Accounting" on his show.

they said people would really have protested it if they hadnt cut down on the use of the n word as they originally intended to use it.
Instead they went over board on the use of the word retard and that has a whole other set of people pissed off. smile

Yeah, they really picked their poison then and realized they'd much rather have people protest about mental disabilities than racism.
