    Robert Downey Jr. to play black man in upcoming movie

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1773
    The article says that a lot of people are offended by this. I'm not surprised, but I'm not offended at all.
    Besides, that's some good makeup! He coulda fooled me!

    But... he's ever more white than me, and that's saying something! Mind you, that's some pretty impressive makeup... What can he do with the voice though?

    In my opinion, Downey is one of the finest actors alive today, so if any white actor can pull it off, I would think that he could.

    Wow. If that's him that's a better makeup job than Eddie Murphy.
    I love the summer months!

    That's one of the nicest things you've ever said 'bout me, Doc. Yul Brynner is part of my Pantheon of Cool:
    • Yul Brynner
    • Billy Dee Williams
    • Cary Grant
    • Richard Roundtree
    • Blair Underwood
    • Tony Bennett
    • Jimmy "J.J." Walker*
    If I were one-tenth as cool as any one of these guys, my week planner would look like this:

    Monday -
    the nasty
    Tuesday - the nasty
    Wednesday - the nasty
    Thursday -
    the nasty
    Friday - the nasty
    Saturday - the nasty
    Sunday - rest up for the coming nasty week.

    BUT DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE ROBERT DOWNEY JR, HE'S STILL A FUCKING CRACKHEAD , STILL THE SAME JACKASS WHO FUCKED UP ALLY MCBEAL,

    The year changing to 1998
    is what effed up Ally McBeal.

    Yeah, the make-up looks good... but his eyes look weird.

    How is he whiter than you? I really hope he doesn't try to do much with the voice.

    I do agree that he's a very good actor.

    haha Doc

    HAHA DJ, you're a dork! Aww. =) Hugs?
    So patience... is nothing...
