Making it hail with change?

Canadian style

(Yes I know most places won't let you actually pelt the strippers with Loonies or Toonies)

Actually, strangely enough, in Calgary the strippers will roll up a poster of theirs (or something of the sort) into a cone shape and line it towards their pussy, and if the guy (or girl) can shoot a coin in the cone, they can get the poster.

Dont ask, I'm not from Calgary, I'm from Montreal where you can actually touch their tits and booty.

You mean Moose Nickels and Beaver Bucks?

No mention of the Great Wall 'controversy'?



That is whitewashing, according to the PC brigade.

My personal favorite experience in a Canadian strip club was in Victoria, BC (can't remember the name of the specific club). A stripper would sit spread eagle on the stage, and for 5 bucks you were given a couple minutes with the remote control to an RC car with a dildo taped to it.

There was no prize for making it into the hole (either one) but damn was it an entertaining time.

With whitewashing, I remember some writers complaining about ScarJo being cast in Ghost in the Shell, and then getting mad butthurt when it turns out that actual Japanese people didn't give a flying fuck, or actually preferred a well known white actress in the role because she would bring more eyes to the product.

Yeah, I saw that on the nightly news. I'm so sick of this bullshit. It's like people don't even realize that Matt Damon's character is a fucking mercenary. So far there's been zero indication he's even supposed to be Chinese. The one major critic on the news said something to the effect of "we need to end the trope that only white men can save the world." Like, bitch, have you not seen Hitchcock? Or literally any Jet Li or Jackie Chan movie? Rush Hour clearly was never made, and certainly not three times. The SJWs are just pissed because they don't like white men. Fucking racist, sexist bastards man. Fuck these people.

[Gadritan]

Uh, ya. His character is supposed to be a British soldier turned mercenary or something along those lines.

It was also already pointed out that Han Chinese are historically the oppressors in China, not white people. I've learned over the years how 99% of Americans also don't realize how many different ethnic groups there are in China. They're all just "Asian, or "Chinese."

Excuse me, they prefer to be called "little people."

Most of the criticism I've seen isn't about "white washing" it's the white savior thing, which definitely is a thing. 47 Ronin, The Last Samurai, and Avatar.

While it's understandable that films need a protagonist who the audience can step into, it often means that whenever the setting is a foreign culture the story is relegated to the trope of a white guy saving helpless indigenous peoples.

It's white washing to want big name actors headlining your very expensive movie? I mean, if Denzel auditioned I'm sure they would have given him a fair shot at it too. Shit, look at the magnificent seven remake, a black man is the savior in that one.

[GoggleHead]

It still boils down to "we don't like white people", which is a sentiment that appears to be gaining mainstream traction lately.

China loves white people though

Re-read my post. I specifically said the problem wasn't "white washing."

It's understandable for studios to want known commodities to headline a movie. But it's also undeniable that when you take what's basically a (insert culture) story, cast a big well-known (and probably white) actor/actress to headline, then you stick that hero character into the narrative as the outsider who saves the day, the end result is a bunch of movies where the helpless minority got saved by the white dude/chick.

It still boils down to "we don't like white people", which is a sentiment that appears to be gaining mainstream traction lately.

See above.

I find it especially funny that you would mention a film which was explicitly based on the true story of a white (French) man learning to appreciate and embrace Japanese culture as support for your argument of this supposed "trope." Apparently we can't talk about history now, because history has far too many white men in it.

[Salodin]

To be fair, the savior in Avatar was a blue man, not white. Unless you're talking about the last Airbender, in which case I wish they made a live action movie of that.

And I find it funny that in your zeal to defend white males being shoehorned into films as "historically accurate" you're willing to overlook the fact that (one of) the historical basis for Tom Cruise's character wasn't in the Satsuma Rebellion at all, much less being the spiritual successor to an ancient cultural tradition as "the last samurai."

Yeah and I really wish they would make a 4th Indiana Jones movie too and some Star Wars movies that tell the story before the original three movies. Too bad these things haven't happened yet.
