pie_or_death also sent me this CNN article about recent whitewashing in movies, which includes white, white Angelina Jolie cast as Cleopatra in an upcoming biopic...you know, the Egyptian queen of Mediterranean descent who science has determined had an African mother. Totally white

2,000 years and Octavian's propaganda still sticks. Which means they're so unoriginal that they can't come up with an angle that hasn't been done for two millenia.

gg Hollywood.

Yeah.

Though, I sent you the article before I'd read all of it and honestly, I didn't like the tone. I just don't feel like it represented the issues clearly. Particularly since they quoted the hugh laurie comment. That was just like. seriously what. And they didn't explain why people were boycotting PoP and TLA, just that they were. I don't think the regular readers would get it.
