Monday, December 7th, 2009

This has been going on for over 50 years. White men and women portraying characters meant to be Asian. "Warner Oland plays Charlie Chan in Charlie Chan Goes to Shanghai (1935) The Good Earth (1937) didn’t have a single Asian person in a lead role Jennifer Jones as Han Suyin in Love Is ...

is whoopi goldberg in buckaroo banzai?

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

No, Whoopi Goldberg is not in this movie. I've seen it more than 100 times and can assure you that I would have noticed her. EDIT: It's possible that Rosalind Cash as John Emdall might be mistaken for Whoopi~though that would be very "iffy". I can't find a picture or ...

I've had the Buckaroo Banzai end credits going through my head all morning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WzB1Rtr7Q0 Which is probably better than my usual Darth Vader's theme or the Wicked Witch of the West music. Haha. I have the music from Zorro going through my head. Probably because we just watched it two nights ago.
