I was actually referring to their co-stars with that comment.<br />Yes, that concept is so ridiculous and offensive!!! Caucasian looks and phenotypes with "dark" skin and "raven" hair. This shared feature amongst all the new cast members (except for Graham Greene) says more than we could in words about the casting directors/Summit. It gives me something campy to laugh at, too.<br /><br />Solomon Trimble is awesome. He is also a lot brighter, more talented and well-rounded as a person than his...replacement; so although he was dropped, it's safe to say his future is twice as bright as these silver screen anybodies.m.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-10320129752516249992009-11-13T16:04:58.206-08:002009-11-13T16:04:58.206-08:00@m.: Something else though- I am not sure what you...@m.: Something else though- I am not sure what you mean by "tribally-identified": They are all enrolled and at least Kiowa and Chaske are Rez Indians (Hualapai Reservation, AZ and Fort Peck Reservation, MT respectively).

I also feel they went for "as-Caucasian-as-possible-with-black-hair-and-then-we'll-bronze-them", which is superweird as a concept. <br /><br />@Rob: They don't wear shirts cause their body temperature is constantly at an uncomfortable 109 degrees in Meyer's world; in contrast to the icy cold vampires.Katnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-26887631603043279252009-11-13T04:45:25.739-08:002009-11-13T04:45:25.739-08:00...also, Chaske Spencer is the most "brown&qu......also, Chaske Spencer is the most "brown" of the bunch, and even he looks like a mestizo Latino, at most. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but still: Summit (and the rest of Hollywood), your message to tribally-identified, racialized, Indian-looking Indians (those of us who are tellin' the truth) is not so subtle.m.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-37585283665373851072009-11-13T04:40:51.997-08:002009-11-13T04:40:51.997-08:00What pathetic little Uncle Tomahawks.

So it must be nice to be able to put that stereotyped 'Indian look' on for a movie!<br /><br />I think it's sick that Solomon Trimble was dumped for this talentless garbage. Not to mention, if they wanted "heartthrobs", these boys are all unattractive!m.noreply@blogger.com
