No dialogue, just action please! cut!.I

I wonder what is daniel henny doing in his role now in hollywood.

kwon sang woo!!! Why, no way. I never liked him. There are many hot actors out there, why him?

@38

I don't think its a problem at all. Especially when I'm right.

But thanks for pointing it out, Captain Obvious. Keep it up.

Ouch. Threatened with the ban stick. I feel just like a Korean high school student.

But fair's fair. Your house, your rules.

Please accept my humble apologies to anyone was upset by or felt insulted because of my rantings. I didn't mean to unsettle anyone's delicate sensibilities.

Some Asians stars don't translate well in Hollywood films. For example Gong Li. I LOVED her in most films but couldn't bear to watch her in a film with Jeremy Irons. Sorry, forgot the name of the film, it was THAT awful!) And Miami Vice? Eeek. Gong Li is so beautiful and a great actress but those Hollywood produced films didn't do her justice.

How is complaining about the stereotypical roles that Asians get in America considered ignorant and racist?

We just don't like how we're being portrayed.

As for your "...SO MANY MORE Asians and Asian-filled roles in Hollywood film and TV lately..."" there really isn't. And even if there was, does that mean we can't seek improvement?

Are we supposed to be grateful just because we were thrown some scraps from the dinner table?

Now I do agree that some of the blame can be attributed to the Asian actors who take the roles in the first place.

Yes, I wish they wouldn't do it either.

But the biggest issue is the type of roles Asians get offered in the first place.

Either way I don't see why you're so angry about us wanting to improve the situation.

@ Laura

How is it that a westerner is portrayed in a Korean drama? As an arrogant American executive, who thinks he has the power over any other person just because he is rich and, well, American....This is how westerners can be portrayed, and the reason why, is because – as I said before – how many of us westerners actually live in Asia?

I see what you mean but the biggest difference is the amount of American/Western media that is imported to Korea and the rest of Asia.

If you go to a movie theater in Asia, almost half the movies are Hollywood or Western movies.

And the general population is also aware of American/Western TV shows, like Friends and Prison Break.

So even if Korean dramas portray westerners negatively, it's all balanced out by the positive portrayals that Koreans see in Western media.

Now this of course doesn't happen in America.

America rarely imports Asian movies, and even when it does, it's rarely show in a lot of movie theaters.

And the same applies to Asian TV shows.

So that's my main complaint. If Americans consumed the same amount of foreign media as Asians do, then I wouldn't really care how Asians are portrayed in Hollywood films.

I loved him in More Than Blue ~!

What's up with all the Korean actors going for comic related movies? (Daniel Henney in Wolverine) I'd be way more excited if they weren't comic related.. Just not my cup of tea.. BUT it's still amazing to see them coming to Hollywood (: Hope to see Kwon Sang Woo make his debut ~!

Kwon Sang Woo forever!! He'll fit the role of Kato perfectly :)

@Jessica

Seriously? Did you read my comment... at all?

There's nothing wrong with complaining about stereotypes... if there was any merit to the statement, and/or if the actors themselves didn't have the ability to turn down stereotypical roles.

Regardless, let's look at your point that there are "no good roles" out there for Asians. I can see how you could think that. Off the top of my head, recent American TV shows with strong Asian characters in lead and/or principle roles include:

- Grey's Anatomy (~Korean)
- Cashmere Mafia
- Heroes (numerous. Booya) (~Korean)
- Lost (multiple again) (~Korean)
- Battlestar Galactica (~Korean)
- MadTV (~Korean)
- Law and Order: SVU
- Entourage
- CSI
- Eli Stone
- The Mentalist
- Dexter
- And my personal favourite: Iron Chef America

Okay, so in Heroes most of the Asians have powers... but so does every other character in the show. Hmm... 95% don't use swords... A few can fight, but mostly for story purposes (BSG)... We've got doctors, cops, lawyers, WHOA! Even a GAY (*gasp!*) Asian character on that list... From shows that come from romantic dramas, cop shows, scifis, action/adventure, sketch comedy, dramatic comedy and even HBO programming. Oh! Interesting, not only do they date people outside their ethnicity, some of them date other Asians too... and most of these shows are... actually... doing... well? In fact, most of these shows are the top of their scheduled timeslots...

Hmm... Interesting. Please tell me more, Jessica, about how Asians are stereotyped in American media with their varied careers, lifestyles, personalities and storylines, playing these lead to principle roles in these top rated dramas. Please tell me more about these "scraps". Because I, for one, completely understand how you don't like being portrayed as interesting and varied characters. The audacity!

Once again, its a good idea to step back and look at what's actually on the table before commenting on it.

Now, I made up that list in under 3 minutes, without really trying. I haven't even included film roles, 'cause I didn't want to rub it in too much. I'd like you to do the same for Native Americans, Iranians and Eastern Europeans in American media, please. Go ahead. I'll make it easier for you: Try naming just three shows for each.

The reason I'm ranting, Jess, is because people say things without doing any research and proceed to say things that are... not very smart. They make assumption based on what other people are saying without going out there and learning for themselves.

If you had come to me with your repartee in 1992, you might have had a point. Now, you just sound like you don't know what you're talking about. It's okay to want people to have "better roles". Its not okay to complain that no one ever gets these "better roles" when the evidence is very clearly against you.

Also, I'm trying, java, to be as nice as possible here.

P.S. HA! I JUST remembered Jon & Kate Plus 8. A few people watch that show, right? A couple of Koreans in that one too, I think...

And by the way... This:

So even if Korean dramas portray westerners negatively, it’s all balanced out by the positive portrayals that Koreans see in Western media.

Let me get this straight... It's okay to portray Westerners negatively because there own media "balances out" their portrayal? So, in other words, it's totally okay for Asian media to portray Westerns negatively, but not okay for Western media to portray Asians stereotypically (even if the stereotype is a positive character)?

*cough cough*

rac⋅ism
  /ˈreɪsɪzəm/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [rey-siz-uhm]
–noun
1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

@ Jessica (58). One of the reasons – that I can think of – as to why there a re very little Asian films imported in America is because – sadly to everybody else who is not American, but true – Hollywood is the most powerful film industry that there is… simple as that.
With this, I’m not saying ONLY Hollywood movies are good, or ONLY Hollywood movies should be exported, or ONLY anything. I’m just saying that as of now Hollywood, - while there are many other films from other countries that are awesome, example: “A Bittersweet Life” (Korean) “The Samurai” (French, Alain De Lon) and many others which I wont mention, the list I too long – is the mega power industry for films. And most of the aspiring directors, producers, script-writers/writers in general, actors, and many not so aspiring but already great on their own, want to make it in Hollywood.
And since I have been given the excuse to comment again:
I AGREE 100%, NO, 10,0100% AND MUCH MORE WITH (25) THIS IS MY POSTING, AND ANYTHING ELSE HE/SHE HAS SAID.

Oh, and thank you THIS IS ME POSTING for answering Jessica when she said:

"So even if Korean dramas portray westerners negatively, it’s all balanced out by the positive portrayals that Koreans see in Western media."

I could not have put it in better words!
And sorry for misspelling your name earlier on my (63) comment.

Also... lmao! Sorry, I keep remembering things I forgot to say. Lol… Also, Jessica, I never said that I was against how Koreans portrayed westerners. If you go on reading you will notice that I also said:
"how many of us westerners actually live in Asia? Not many, and its known to all the world that we do not come from there either (I mean as a native or something of the sort) which means it would be VERY unrealistic if we were to be the lead characters of a typical Korean drama."

Again: "it would be VERY unrealistic if we were to be the lead characters of a typical Korean drama."

It is the same for Asians in America. Since most American films are typical American stories, or/and are written by American writers, who will mostly write about Americans; it is only natural that there will be very few roles for Asians to play (which, like THIS IS ME POSTING said, there is actually a lot of Asians on American TV and films, now more than ever.) And is the same for other cultures.

Now, If you live here in America, you should now that since 2000, according to the Census. The number one minority that live here in the US are Hispanics with a 12.5% of the population (the reason why there would be more Hollywood roles and/or movies that include Hispanics) The second minority are blacks/African Americans, with a 12.3% of the population (African Americans have more participation in Hollywood than Hispanics, why? Because they have been here for a longer period. In short, they have seniority.) Then, the third one are Asians and Pacific Islanders, with a 3.7%. Meaning that it would be more realistic if in a film there is more blacks or Hispanics than Asians.
Even though, there are lots, and lost of Asians in American TV. And they are not only portrayed as Ninjas or Samurais, but as very, very smart people with a strong and beautiful culture. Surely, something to be proud of.

psst...Samsooki...my last post was just making fun of Drew...just having a laugh...sorry if it came out condescending...(but c'mon, go with Natalie Portman or Emma Watson...)

OK. I can see KSW as Kato. Good choice. I felt Stephen Chow was too old. But, as the director, he is kick ass. However, that being said, as long as Seth Rogen is attached I will not be going to check this one out.

Although The Green Hornet was a campy 1960's TV show, it was not a campy radio program. It was a crime fighting drama. The martial arts part did not become a part of it until Mr. Lee took over the character of Kato. He is the reason why that show was a hit.

With Seth Rogen attached it is sure to be an "action-comdey." Happy for KSW if he gets the part. Sad for the Green Hornet franchise for keeping Rogen.

@ This Is Me Posting #61

First, you need to calm down a little. Take a breath ok?

Second, it's funny how you seem to be the only person who can judge what's good and has merit.

Perhaps you think those "good roles" are decent enough, but to me a lot of them are just rehashes of old stereotypical roles.

You have the foreigners (Lost, Heroes), the dragon ladies (Cashmere Mafia), the nerds and asexual Asian males (Heroes again, MadTV CSI, Law and Order: SVU, Entourage), and the rest are just throwaway side characters.

The only ones on your list that really have any meat would be Grey's Anatomy, The Mentalist, and Battlestar Galactica.

Perhaps you think these roles are good enough and we should just accept it as it is.

But then you have movies like The Forbidden Kingdom or Dragonball that felt it necessary to cast a non-Asian character as the lead role because people might not relate.

Then you have other films like 21, which in the book emphasized that the real life characters were Asian because casino's would be less suspicious of young Asian kids betting a lot of money. And yet in the movie the leads were recast as non-Asians.

And in the upcoming live action film, Avatar: The Last Airbender, which is based entirely on Asian themes has a non-Asian cast.

How suprirsing.

And I never said that Native Americans, Iranians, and Easter Europeans have it better. What does that have to do with anything?

Should we somehow be grateful just because we have it better than some groups?

* * *

Let me get this straight… It’s okay to portray Westerners negatively because there own media “balances out” their portrayal? So, in other words, it’s totally okay for Asian media to portray Westerns negatively, but not okay for Western media to portray Asians stereotypically (even if the stereotype is a positive character)?

Maybe I wasn't clear, or you just like to assume things.

I never said it was OK. I said the main difference is that Asians also watch Western media and thus the negative portrayls are balanced out.

And that if Americans watched just as much Asian entertainment, then I wouldn't complain about our sterotypical American roles.

Anyway, thank you for telling me how I should think and disregard how I feel because you're the only one that knows what's right.

* * *

@ Laura

Sorry, I didn't mean to be dismissive or anything.

I agree with what your saying, that "...since most American films are typical American stories, or/and are written by American writers, who will mostly write about Americans; it is only natural that there will be very few roles for Asians to play..."

And likewise, that's what happens in Korea and other Asian countries as well.

I guess my point was that even if this is the case, Asians will also watch American films and TV shows as well---as a result, there is a more balanced perspective.

(I grew up in a pre-dominately white area where the only thing my neighbors and classmates knew about Asians was from what they watched on TV.)

And that for me personally, if Americans watched a similar amount of Asian media, then I wouldn't care how Asians are portrayed in American films and TV shows.

I guess I should also mention that perhaps I am a little biased because I have friends that are aspiring actors and they've told me horror stories of their time in the industry.

How casting directors will tell them to "FOB it up" and to speak with an accent.

I had one friend who was trying out for a generic walk-on role of "Asian delivery man" and told by the director he was too tall and "not Asian-looking enough."

@69

Suck it up. I've been told I'm not White enough. My Jewish best friend was told by a casting director to stop pretending he was Jewish 'cause he didn't look Jewish to her. Every single actor from every single ethnicity has gotten that line at least once. Part of showbiz. If they can't handle it... door's right over there. =>

@68

Yes, I pretty much am the "only person who can judge what’s good and has merit" in this case, because you're being contrary to be contrary.

Your arguments regarding those TV roles are shallow and nescient. Example: Being upset that Asian people are playing foreign Asian characters. I don't know about you, but in the world I live in, there are other countries in the world besides the USA. Some of those countries have Asian people and sometimes, those people come to America.

Shocking.

Furthermore, Future Hiro is quite evidentially integrated and Americanized by the time he becomes kick ass. Explain to me where you were going with this again? Also, there's a HUGE difference between a "dragon lady" and a freakin' Chinese-American socialite. The fact that I have to explain this too you indicates how ridiculous your counter-point was.

I'm dropping this argument simply because you've stopped making sense. I don't know what you're looking for in an Asian character and therefore, cannot formulate a rebuttal. If I'm understanding you correctly, Asians can't be foreign (the hell?), can't be straight, asexual or gay, can't have powers in a powers related TV show, can't be smart but apparently, can't be dumb either, can't be wimpy but can't be assertive and ambitious, can't be rich (and I assume can't be poor) and can't be "rehashed" (*snicker*) roles.

And apparently, some Asian characters don't count while others do. Hmm. Interesting.

In all seriousness: Quit your job. Become a Hollywood writer. You'd fit right in.

The Canadian version of 21, called The Last Casino, which was way better in my opinion, had an Asian lead. He's a cool guy too.

Regardless, you made a valid point about Asians in lead role re-casts because the American audiences might not relate. On THAT I can agree with you. It sucks and that should change. To counter balance, I also point out the great strides people like Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat, Michelle Yeoh and others have done to push Asian leads into the forefront of American cinema. Its not quite there yet, but unlike what you think, its changing.

Furthermore, pretty much everyone else in Dragonball was Asian. Furthermore again, Dragonball sucked. Are you really upset over Dragonball? Seriously, that's one of your top cards?

Food for thought, though: http://www.dailycommercial.com/sports/story/718lpga
Read the story under the heading "The South Koreans."

Regarding the other ethnic groups: Um, yeah. Kind of. I mean, at least you're not stereotyped as zealot terrorists, drug dealers, hookers or English teaching rapists. At least you have some fair and balanced representation (despite what you might think) on American media. I notice you didn't even TRY to name a single show for any of those ethnic groups. Good job. Well done. The fact that you even said what you said just shows how ignorant and racist you're being.

As for the American/Asian media balance thing. Sorry. I don't buy it. Just as how Western fans of Asian cinema go out hunting for Asian media in anyway shape or form (we are still on dramabeans, right? A site run by an American who watches Korean dramas? Hmm, interesting.), so too can I believe that Asian audiences can choose not to seek out American media if they don't want to. I've yet to see anyone be forced to go watch a movie, EVER.

Your argument STILL boils down to: It's okay for Asian to portray Westerns horribly, but not okay for Westerns to portray Asians stereotypically (even if they are portrayed positively). That, young lady, is what we call a "double standard."

Anyway, thank you for telling me how I should think and disregard how I feel because you’re the only one that knows what’s right.

You're welcome. I'm glad you've learnt something from me. I honestly don't care how or what you "feel" about this argument because, as the great James Randi has been known to say: "No amount of belief makes something a fact."

Your "beliefs" in this matter are utterly inconsequential. I showed you proof that Asians are portrayed well and diversely in American cinema. The history of cinema will show you that these roles have been and are constantly ameliorating to the point where there HAVE been Asian leads in American media. I also showed you proof that other ethnic groups, including ones indigenous to America have it MUCH worse than Asians. And with the exception of the argument that there have been Asian lead re-casts - which I give to you and admit that it does suck - you've shown me nothing to disprove anything I've put forth and displayed a fundamental lack of understanding of American media and how Asians have been portrayed in it.

You're welcome to keep trying to best me in this argument, but I would advise against it. I'm out of your league.

@ This Is Me Posting

Your argument STILL boils down to: It’s okay for Asian to portray Westerns horribly, but not okay for Westerns to portray Asians stereotypically (even if they are portrayed positively). That, young lady, is what we call a “double standard.”

Again, I never said that, but you really like to assume these things don't you?

I will say it clearly. It's NOT OK for Asians to portray Westerners horribly.

And likewise, it's not OK for Westerners to stereotype Asians.

That's my complaint.

But if Americans watched as much Asian media as Asians watched American media, then I wouldn't care how Americans portrayed Asians.

...so too can I believe that Asian audiences can choose not to seek out American media if they don’t want to.

Go to any movie theatre in Asia. Almost 50% of the movies are from Hollywood.

I mean, at least you’re not stereotyped as zealot terrorists, drug dealers, hookers or English teaching rapists...I notice you didn’t even TRY to name a single show for any of those ethnic groups. Good job. Well done. The fact that you even said what you said just shows how ignorant and racist you’re being.

I agree, these groups probably have it worse than Asains. So does that mean that as long as someone has it worse than me I can't wish for something better?

as the great James Randi has been known to say: “No amount of belief makes something a fact.”

...I showed you proof that Asians are portrayed well and diversely in American cinema.

You showed me what you beleive to be good and diverse portrayals. I could basically take that same list as proof they are tired and stereoyptical portrayals.

You really should re-read that Randi quote.

Anyway, I'm no match for your awesome argument skills. Next thing you should do is go tell African Americans that racism is over because we have a black president.

@ This Is Me Posting

By the way, I'm curious, is calling me "young lady" supposed to put me in my place?

I am enjoying this thread because some of us are and should be sensitive about being stereotyped in films as well as in real life. I grew up watching American TV and was an only Asian in my school.(grades 2-8) This is an exciting time for me, I started watching K dramas via my sister in law and never looked back. It is SO good. (Winter Sonata was my first K drama) I stopped watching Hollywood films and American TV many years ago. It was a personal choice. Hollywood is a very powerful industry. I decided I did not want to consume anything Hollywood. Do you remember Margaret Cho's sitcom? That show was absolutely disgusting. I guess the only reason for any actor/actress to go "Hollywood" is money. You can make big money but for every success story, there must be thousands of horror stories. Hollywood has made mega bucks stereotyping different ethnic groups.Personally for me I can't tolerate it. I don't think Asians have ways to go in Hollywood. Why should Hollywood set the standard or dictate? Why should Asians "fit the mold" when it's not always in a positive light? As I mentioned before, I love Gong Li and saw few of her Chinese films. Really beautiful films. Miami Vice? Ugh! Even Chow Yun Fat and Jackie Chan, I'd rather see their early Chinese films. It's sooo much better. Yes, Hollywood is the most powerful, richest film industry but it's not the only film industry on the planet. I just prefer Chinese films and Korean dramas to anything Hollywood. Hollywood is too cliche. I guess you can laugh at any one group being stereotyped in a film/tv but I find it disrespectful and gross. Sorry about the lengthy comment but I find this thread to be very interesting.

@70 "You’re welcome to keep trying to best me in this argument, but I would advise against it. I’m out of your league."

Hahahahah, this is so true, but not in the way he means it. There's so much circular logic that makes no sense and contradicts itself. This thread has been entertaining to say the least.

look all I want to know is if KSW can speak decent english.

I think it's great he's going to debut, but if he can't honestly speak at least decent english, I expect a huge fail there.

but don't get me wrong, I like him.

and I wish he would choose a role in which is not stereotypical, but he can do what he wants.

who knows? he might even be badass.

And finally,

Michel Gondry is a genius. Did you see the Science of Sleep? Fantastic! Who would have ever thought he'd take inspiration from a homunculus man too! And so was Eternal Sunshine. One of my favorite movies. If he's taking part in it, I honestly can't see it being horrible.

That's just my opinion. haha and this IS entertaining. I spent a good 10 mins. probably reading people squabbling.

@73 Marni
I don’t think anybody is laughing at minorities in the US being stereotype. Im a minority in many ways; Hispanic, woman. And Hispanics have been stereotype very badly in Hollywood. But I guess you wouldn’t know that because you stop watching American films. People are not open, they only see their own side.

I never said that Hollywood was the ONLY industry out there. If you would actually read clearly what anybody writes, then nobody would have to repeat themselves for the sake of leaving the right impression.
This is what I said:

“Hollywood is the most powerful film industry that there is… simple as that.

With this, I’m not saying ONLY Hollywood movies are good, or ONLY Hollywood movies should be exported, or ONLY ANYTHING.” (←-- see that Marni?)
“… while there are many other films from other countries that are awesome, example: “A Bittersweet Life” (Korean) “The Samurai” (French, Alain De Lon) and many others which I wont mention, the list I too long…”

This is what I said and it means exactly that:
NOT ONLY HOLLYWOOD… BUT SADLY, HOLLYWOOD IS WHERE YOU MAKE IT BIG RIGHT NOW. MAYBE LATER OTHER INDUSTRIES WOULD BE NUMBER ONE IN THE MOVIE BUSINESS.

I’m an artist in many ways. I write, draw and im in school for computer animation. The idea is to eventually make my own animated film. When you are an actor/director/writer, in short, an artist of any form, you seek recognition from others. Many artist only seek money, but for most is recognition. The biggest recognition for an actor or director is what? AN OSCAR, right? However, many actors/director etc, that can not make it in Hollywood for one thing or another, and happen to be good actors/directors/writers, will be happy and content with being just what they are and getting recognition from other awards and stuff like that, because an OSCAR will not defined how good the person is in terms of his career. I say this because my FATHER is one hell of an actor, and will never be able to enter Hollywood for political reasons, even though, my dad is well respected for the great actor/director/writer that he is… yep he is all of those things. Still even when is not an OSCAR he has gotten a bunch of awards, and is recognize as a talented person.
Should I hate Hollywood because Cubans play (for the most part) as Italian gangsters, or rafters, or dumb security guards, or gay artists, or revolutionary rebels? Oh wait, no that’s not right, that was a Colombian actor who played El Che. I love American films, when they are good. I like watching the Oscars and I always pray for a non-American movie star to win. I was so proud of Rinko Kikuchi!!! Yeah! She rocked in “Babel” but again, I guess you wouldn’t know that Marni, since you don’t watch American films.

Im going to stop writing on this thread. People read what you write and take it the wrong way. Is like writing a Bible (God forgive me) People read it and take it in their own way, and follow it in their own way. Its kind of annoying.

One more thing;

Why - instead of saying what they should or shouldn’t do – don’t we go ask KSW, or better yet – since I don’t know his merits – LBH, who is no dummy whatsoever. The man has a French Literature major, a theater and Cinematography major; knows like four or five languages, has a badass trajectory of dramas and films; surely he knows what’s best for him. Why don’t we ask him why he chose to be stereotype in a Hollywood production? Or even, if HE thinks he is being look down in any way? Then this discussion, that is turning so negative, would lose its validity.

TSK TSK TSK TSK!!!! I just did major research on a Lee Byung Hun web site I visit often, but never really read the interviews with the actor, and this is what I found out.
They have translated an interview with LBH and in the interview, he clearly says... the actor says... Lee Byung Hun himself says... (is that clear? I hope) He says, he was offered by Hollywood a role in the film "The Guardian" with Kevin Costner, as Kevin Costner's subordinate - a role which has nothing to do with martial arts or swords or anything like that - and he refused the role. To Later on accept the role as Storm Shadow in GIJOE? Why? Because, clearly GIJOE is going to be a blockbuster hit and it will bring more attention to him than playing a subordinate in "The Guardian"
Kids, and younger adults want to see an ass kicking ninja and not a subordinate in a film about a traumatize life rescuer.

So, all of you who say Asian actors have no other choice but to play stereotype roles as there are no other roles offered to them.... please shut up!!! Go and actually find out if in fact there had been roles - other than ninja roles - offered to them.
This is the website for those of you who don’t believe:
http://twitchfilm.net/archives/005681.html

THATS IT! For real, this time im done with this.

Good for KSW if he accepts the role! Ill support even when I don’t follow the actor.
AND LEE BYUNG HUN.... FIGHTING!!!!! Ill definitely be there, first row, August 7.

Dear Laura, Yes, it is my choice. I don't watch Hollywood films anymore. I just find K dramas more entertaining. I'm like looking for a life altering experience, I just want to be entertained. It's a wonderful to be able to pick and choose, no? I don't think getting an Oscar means much. I like KSW and wish him the best and it is his choice to do whatever. I hope he makes mega bucks and that's one of the reasons to make it in Hollywood, in my opinion. With a few exceptions, Americans did not produce the best artsy films. You don't need to respond and attack me for expressing my opinions. I think we can both agree that we enjoy K dramas/movies/stars. Isn't that why we come to this forum/website? Peace.

zzzzzzzz

Hey guys I just checked out the IMBD site and things are looking pretty bad for Kwong Sang Woo if things keep continuing this way. What im talking about is on the IMBD postboard there are literally hundreds of anti-korean celeb people posting topics of how it would be lame to hire kwon sang woo to play the role of kato. They are even dissing Lee Byung hun and Rain. Im doing the best right now to post comments of how a wonderful job kwon sang woo would do if he was given the role, but the odds are against me heavily. Its me against like 100 anti-korean celeb people lol.

I personally believe this era and time is critical for asian celebs to break into the US Market. We need to work as a team regardless of which subgroup we are from in Asia. Are you guys with me?? ;)

Help me by going into the IMBD site in the green hornet section and posting topics of how wonderful kwon sang woo would be for the role. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to read this you guys. ASIA together as ONE!!!

wow what a thread to read.

i won't comment much but for this. Seth Rogen as the Green Hornet? i see fail all around. I was watching Comic Con 09 and ugh. i love my super hero movies but this one i cannot get behind.

Adobe has given them the technology to run the Flash files. ,

hi
