yeah yeah i remember reading all about the rooney mara thing. i think it was incredibly stupid they didnt allow native actresses to audition bc wtaf. tiger lily is literally a native role and they shouldve let native actresses audition. i read somewhere that they did that bc they were reimagining the character of tiger lily or some bs like that but its still total bullshit. like you said, there are many native actresses out there that would have done amazing as the role. and also speaking of the revenant i just found this article about how grace dove wasnt even invited to the academy awards

yeah ive heard amazing things abut both of the movies so youd think they would nominate them for stuff. and tbh i know theres lots of films out there that star poc, but a lot of times theyre indie films. i saw this post on tumblr about a list of poc movies being released in 2016, and a majority of them are indie and being only released at movie festivals. so yes theres movies for poc, but theyre often not big blockbusters like mad max and whatever. i was gonna say star wars, but then i was like wait no star wars has a latino and black man in the 2 lead roles in the newest film. like at least they realized. and star wars did amazing, so literally any big time movie can do the same and still do great. im also excited bc dc decided to do an aquaman movie and altho aquaman is often depicted as white af, they cast jason momoa for the role and im like fuck yeah bc jason momoa is awesome. and theyre also doing a cyborg film which im super excited about. im gonna shut up about dc rn but theyre getting much much better about adding diversity to their films. idk what im talking about at this p oint i got off topic somewhere after the first sentence in this paragraph

yeah ive also heard about some other movie coming out?? i had to google it bc i was like ik its some blonde teen actress. at first i thought chloe grace moretz, but its actually elle fanning. but anyway she played a teen trans boy and im like why??? i agree with you in that they should cast actual trans ppl to play trans characters - even if it is pretransition. they know that its like and they know the problems that trans people play, so rlly only they should be playing trans chars.

yeah theres defs some movies aboout non hetero couples, but its like idk not as popular. you know what i mean??? like im gonna make a huge exageration here, but for every 500000000 hetero couple movies, theres only like 2 nonhetero movies made.

or at least it feels that way tbh

its definitely not that way but it just feels that way
