The Hundred - foot Journey

Okay, I know in the marketing that The Hundred - footJourneyjust looked like another stupid, sappy Disney film...

but I totally loved it.

it was directed by Lasse Hallstrom so it all these wonderful shots of food and making food like Chocolat. Then, the music was by A.R. Rahman who's always awesome.

Actually, I guess the basic plot is similar to Chocolat as well except Helen Mirren's character comes to the correct way of thinking a lot sooner. However,  I did love how it addressed immigration and other cultures making their new country's culture better by their influence and hard work. The film feels a little long at the end so I was able to guess it was adapted from a book.

Also, the lead actor,  Manish Dayal, is really attractive. My mom agrees on this point.

P.S. I can't discuss Indian cooking in films without once again suggesting Today's Special, such a good movie.

Marvel Casting

So still no confirmed Dr. Strange actor...

I know we should be hearing about Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Danny Rand any day now.

I also know that the Internet and Terry Crews seem to want Terry Crews as Luke Cage.

I can't agree to this. I think it's problematic.
Crews is 46 and looks at least 40. This would be fine except for Jessica Jones.

Jessica Jones and Luke Cage are normally around 20. Of course, we could have Terry Crews as Luke with a much younger actress for Jessica Jones but then, people might feel he's taking advantage of her by being so much older.

Okay, let's make both Jessica and Luke older...which would make a lot of the viewing audience think they were way too old for one-time unprotected sex resulting in a child.

Thus, Jessica and Luke should remain in that 20-25 range. ..maybe they could do the storyline from Ultimate Spider-Man where his parents are found alive and his dad could be Terry Crews?

One of the quickest ways to piss me off in a Fandom discussion is to say that we won't see Miles Morales on the big screen in the next thirty years...this comment has been said to me MULTIPLE times!

Don't let a Disney XD animated series be more progressive than the actual films!
