Srsly? For the most part, us brubby Americans have deferred to Brits getting roles that might have gone to Americans. We recognize how classy a British accent makes a character appear, no matter how anachronistic it is. Now though, that trend may be reversing with the rise for more "inclusive" casting choices in the movies.
We'll see. (BTW: pic only slightly related.)

LOL The original trilogy as well as this was filmed at Pinewood. Also basically every non-speaking role (R2D2, that main Ewok, Chewie, Body of Darth Vader) as well as two prominent speaking roles (C3PO and Obi-Wan).

Face it, while you guys were worried about Jews ruling Hollywood, us Brits got in there instead.

Doesn't matter. He's going to show humility and accept whatever comes to him. He's going to open his eyes and show that he knows he's wrong. It was the dark side and snoke manipulating him. His name is Ben Solo, not Kylo Ren.
It'll make him a more interesting character and audiences should enjoy that about him.

I don't usually care but Rey's voice and accent are really fucking gross. Like, it was taking me out of the film it was so jarring.

He auditioned with his English accent, the producers told him to speak American. Probably so he could be the stereotypical cool jive talking nigger of the movie, all movies have one now.

iirc the british have better teeth even though their dental system is semi-private

what they don't do is aggressively apply braces or floridate their drinking water

as a consequence more british people have a worse looking set of yellower teeth

but fewer cavities per person

none of this applies to the rich kids who can afford to pursue acting as a career though, they'll have private dental care which will give them braces and whitening operations when they want them

Apart from the fact that it says 'war' in the title, I don't see a lot of references to America.

It's a common stigma that Britain fabricates good character actors. But IMHO it's just because America has shit actors today. Also these kids are all unknown mostly. Daisy is a cheap whore who is young and needs the money and Boyega seems to be a suburban ghetto nigglet.

That's one of the reasons I won't watch this piece of shit. Not only did they cast a bitch and a nig in the lead roles, but they aren't even American.

Regardless, star wars nerds don't really care much about anything besides space ships, aliens, lasers, and light sabers.

They could have had a retard as the lead role, and people would have still gone to see that piece of shit.

Let's not forget that the USA is roughly 5 times the size of the UK. So you would EXPECT there to be about 5 times as much innovation/brilliance from americans as brits in these fields, and there simply isn't. Comedy is imo a no brainer. Most of the original comedy of the last 20 years has been british, not just more than one fifth. The Office has been probably the most influential comedy writing since Monty Python. Spaced/Shaun of the Dead has also been hugely influential. Black Books, Black Adder, QI, etc have also done pretty well internationally I gather although don't quote me on that. The USA has produced some fantastic comedy, but they've got by far the biggest budget. Things like The Office, Parks and Rec, 30 Rock, Arrested Development, etc aren't original and don't claim to be. They are simply the best execution of things that had been done first by others, and it's not fair to compare the finished produce when the USA has the worlds tv/movie industry.

The USA doesn't have much in the way of great living novelists either.

The best comparison is stuff from a few decades ago, and we do pretty well in those comparisons compared to the USA or anybody else imo. We have Orwell, Huxley, Tolkien, CS Lewis, Roald Dahl, Douglas Adams, etc. We gave the world punk, we gave the world the mockumentary and the associated 'cringe humor' that everyone does now. We gave the world the beatles, the rolling stones and led zeppelin. We have been at or around the forefront of a huge range of genres in music through acts like Spice Girls, Oasis, Gorillaz, The Smiths, Radiohead, Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys, David Bowie, The Libertines, Elton John, Adele, Queen, etc. We started the celeb-reality-tv thing with the Osbornes. Hell, we somewhat started the reality tv thing in the first place (IIRC the dutch did it first, but it was the british big brother that was big enough to really get the ball rolling).

It's the USA who alone is ridiculously far ahead of everyone else, and one of the reasons is because their economy depends on it, and I don't even mean so they can invade the middle east for their own interests, I'm talking about just the upkeep of it and the jobs and manufacture that depend on it. WW2 lifted them out of a depression and it rescued their economy to such an extend they've had to behave like there is a war on ever since.

3rd grade tier response. Just try saying "lol fuck you we're USA come and get it", and watch how no one trusts you any more and the value of your currency plummets. This is the real world, son, not one of your pleb movies.

Times have changed. USA became the sole super power by fluke, thanks to two word wars centred in Europe. Now power and wealth is spread out much more with countries like China who will ease past the USA in every measure over the next 50 years. America was on top for a few decades at most and you've already fucked it up.

lol pls go weird foreigner who has no idea what he's talking about.
the US invented RnB, pop, rap and hip hop and continues to dominate at it. that is the leading genre of music. british artists are rarely a blip on the radar in terms of rap or any other genre.
99% of the media consumed here is made here so I don't know what you're talking about.
the US dominates the box office globally it's not even a question.
the only point he may have is that the UK's produced "influential comedy television" which is debateable.

You had power for what is going to be less than 200 years.

The UK did it for hundreds upon hundreds

Now China will do the same. But they wont invade poor and defenceless countries like Vietnam, Libya , Afghanistan and Iraq (and still manage to lose, might I add) in the process.

Haha I love this "US invades poor and defenceless countries" meme. It's not like the UK created an empire that the sun never set on by machine gunning spearchuckers, nope. The US's current foreign policy is extremely reminiscent of Britain's imperial policy, just with a facade of respectability to it to make it pallatable to a post-World War II public. This is true to the extent that many defenders of Britain's imperial past and colonial apologists within English academia are unrepetant America-boos.

Please look in the mirror before you start vomiting out half digested RT-tier anti-Americanism.

I can't really argue with that. British counter terrorism has been really on the ball since 7/7 it seems, especially considering France has been utterly buttraped just across the channel several times this year.

It's very upsetting and I wish I'd dropped out when I could, gone for Law at some shit uni instead.

At the very start of the course a couple years ago we were told that in sixth form history was about 'relating' to historical figures, emoting with them, and in Uni the focus is on understanding who, why, how etc. To me, this sounded promising: look at the objective facts, don't try and hold Henry VIII to modern feminist standards. But no. Every fucking day is the same cultural marxist cunts criticising George Washington for owning slaves and historical figures being misogynistic - all emotion, no logic or objectivity.

It was funny though. The example my lecturer gave was a historical event of a baron who went around his town beating people and calling them cuckolds. That meme hadn't started on 4chan yet but I look back on it fondly.

Due to your dad, (I'm sorry for your political loss) you can understand why I assumed that. Tabloid media is the most preferred news source in this country.

But, have a bit of fucking sense, when you talk about people on benefits in a non derogatory fashion its obviously the vast majority of those who are physically incapable of working and have no other option. Its these people who are suffering the consequences made by the few scroungers, layabouts and opportunists.

No it literally fucking isn't. I don't know if you're old enough to remember this but the benefit system under Brown was fucking INSANE. Fat people were getting benefits, for fuck's sake. The government was and still is handing out billions to those who CAN work and could support themselves. There was an epidemic of benefit thieves that rapidly declined when a government came in that cut down hard on that shit.
>>
>>64264578
You're mistaken, I agree with you about the system being broken but I have to lead my argument with those who are not scrounging because they are never represented in these scapegoating debates.

I had seen several articles debunking the myth of benefits scroungers but because I have to go to work in 15 mins I don't have time to source one I would consider to be unbiased. Unfortunately Googles first result is a Guardian article but here you go anyway.
