White cast of 'Exodus' reflects cinema tradition

Let's get Real here,folks - The "God" of Hollywood is GREEN! Heaven is the Bottom Line.#$$$$$$$$$$

I don't know which is crazier; that Hollywood thinks it will make money from out-of-touch notions that only white people are attractive to the world's audiences, or that they think people actually WANT to pay to watch when half of the crud that they shovel up in cinemas.

This just makes torrenting, downloading and streaming even more credible, especially when you see pointless messages at the start of films in cinemas moaning on about "protecting their jobs". Perhaps it should really read:

" This motion picture was made by hundreds of workers, of all races, around the world (especially our animation department, which was outsourced to Korea as they can be paid in peanuts).

Everytime you copy our films, think about our beautiful, Caucasian actors losing their jobs, even though they won't (we'll just sack the Mexicans working in the security department and outsource all the remaining job positrons to China). "

The director inflamed calls for a boycott of the film with his comments last week that he couldn’t have made such a big-budget movie if “my lead actor is Mohammad so-and-so from such-and-such.”

“I’m just not going to get it financed,” he told the trade paper Variety. “So the question doesn’t even come up.”

So, had he cast a middle eastern actor in the role it would never have been financed. It doesn't say he didn't want a middle eastern cast... he says the film would never have been given the green light. So rather than attack Ridley Scott, go for the money men and backers.

How about Charlton Heston as Moses in the '50s? Liz Taylor as Cleopatra? Jeff Hunter as Jesus. It's hardly a new phenomena.
