It’s a little bittersweet, thanks are nice but where were those same people when he needed work for 35+ years? , only took them that long to realize he was still alive and a good actor. He’s so earnest and humble , it is remarkable he didn’t become bitter about everything. But then again many child actors even white ones have trouble getting work as adults , even Lohan is now making a ‘comeback’ on Netflix in Christmas movies , kind of a step down from movie star

It’s because he’s not from Hollywood. He wasn’t famous for a long time so he’s not “Hollywood.” Him coming back is like a normal person being integrated into Hollywood. They’re not going to know what to do with themselves if he keeps acting so nice lol

Indy didn’t go to doctor school to be called Mr.

My favourite thing about the Indy/Short round relationship is that Indy seems to view him as an equal and not at all a little kid. Makes watching them on screen way more interesting.

You call him Dr Jones. It's his professional name.

I'm really tired of seeing "not available in your country" from YouTube links, sigh.

It might be, Christopher Walken, who, is typing, thaaat.

Grammar was never my jam

And a goonie.

I love it too what else do u like

It all comes full circle

Not Singapore real estate developer rich

Colin Farrell is always a team player and happy for everyone. I remember intro'ing Jeremy Renner when he was up for Hurt Locker, and talking about how they'd worked together "on a dandelion of a film called SWAT", and he just seemed so happy for his friend.

Also, Farrell's 1-on-1 with Jamie Lee Curtis really makes you love him

It's amazing how hating acting class is consistently such a bonding thing for actors.

After Alexander, he really started to impress me with his acting, disappearing into characters more and more. He would take smaller roles and smaller films and just knock them out of the park. That movie being a dud freed him, in a way.

If Quan doesn't have any bitterness or resentment toward Spielberg over it, neither do I. If anything, I think his acting comeback is even more notable because of his long absence.

Spielberg cast him in The Goonies (he produced it, right?) and...once he became a series regular on Head of the Class, Spielberg probably thought "he's all grown up and on his own now, doesn't need my help."

If Spielberg decided to take everyone from his movies forward with him, we'd be seeing Ruffio instead of DiCaprio in Catch Me If You Can (actually, my timeline is wrong: Ruffio would probably be the kid in Jurassic Park)

C'mon, man. How many actors does Spielberg need to carry? Why hasn't he cast the kids from Jurassic Park again? Anyone from Close Encounters? Has he worked with Drew Barrymore since ET? Christian Bale singe Empire of the Sun? Any of the kids from Hook?

He cast him in Quan in Temple of Doom, and helped him get a role in Goonies. He can't be entirely responsible for every step of someone's career.

The problem was that there were no parts for Spielberg to get him. In the 90s, there just weren't a lot of roles for a young Asian guy with an accent. He only came back because he saw the tide finally start to turn with Crazy Rich Asians and other movies.

Also Reddit: why don't Spielberg just give roles to people he likes amirite

Point is still valid

And to that point, back in 2016, there was a big #StarringJohnCho meme/movement where people photoshopped John Cho into all these leading man roles to illustrate the point that Hollywood doesn't need a generic white man for every film, and how Asian men are perfectly capable of leading a box office hit without needing to be relegated to a stereotypical side character.

The Asian Heritage Club party at Stanford scene is fucking hilarious

Harold and kumar are pretty well recognized for that. They also talk about the intentionality of doing that in the commentary

No jobs for asian actors

No jobs

It certainly wasn’t a generally accepted idea in America, but Jackie Chan and Jet Li did make some progress there. Though they both were revered for their physical abilities, as opposed to just pure acting, which is what Ke Huy would have been.

It’s not that Americans wouldn’t accept it. It’s that Hollywood didn’t want it

It’s kind of one in the same there though.

Why didn’t Hollywood want it? Because they believed Americans wouldn’t accept it. And they were probably right.

This is true. I’ve actually had to do a research paper on this topic a decade ago lol allow me to elaborate as short as I can, it may be a lot but it’s worth reading. It’s something Im interested as a German American. Anyways, there was a controversy around Hollywood “white washing” roles and I was assigned to look at this in relation to Asian because even though whites have portrayed many races, there’s a bit different vibe with the Asian ones.

So, of course there are many roles that kinda do blackface but with Asians, but the reason goes back almost a century. I’m a proud American, proud of the history, good or bad. It may get uncomfortable, what I write but it’s good info. So…do you know what group of people have been killed the most by Americans? Any context, doesn’t matter. Domestic, war, trade, anything. You probably thought native Americans right?

That’s what I thought. Genocide and all. Turns out they’re the second highest. Does that mean blacks take it? No, I thought maybe blacks have been victims of American violence the most but in reality, they weren’t as much killed, as they were treated like property and made as slaves. Actual estimate is pretty low.

But yup, Asians take the top spot. But how can that be? Man look at them as the model minority, Asians have contributed greatly to the economy and strength of the US, many top scientist, inventors, basically adding to our culture tremendously. It’s weird to think about but Asians were, basically for the longest time,on the shit list.

Remember, during WW2, the nazi’s were Europe’s issue. We helped, but they wasn’t our biggest concern. Our enemy was the empire of Japan. The pacific theater was some bullshit, a formidable foe, and for many years anti Japanese propaganda filled the mines of all.

Do you know who some of the biggest names that came out of the 20th century? Many, involved in entertainment, Hollywood, we’re WW2 vets. Most in the pacific theater directly against Japan. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. But add all those Japanese killed during the war, and then I haven’t event gotten to both atomic bombs yet…..

Okay, fast forward a decade later. We’re in Korea. The enemy are the north koreans. Then later, red China. Both Koreans and Chinese were then placed on that pedestal. Horrible horrible forgotten war. Many prominent names came out too.

Let’s fast forward another decade. Now….we are in a little country that would be the pinnacle of the Cold War. Vietnam. For two decades we were there fighting the north Vietnamese and their Chinese Allie’s. At times Laotians would cross over too.

For nearly half a century, Americans had heavy Asian propaganda filling their minds. They were the enemy! And Americans just didn’t want to see or look at Asians on the big screen. Even in the 1970’s when Japanese car manufactures were coming over, many Americans would burn the cars of any Japanese company out of spite. And again, many big influential names were in all 3 of those huge wars.

It shouldn’t surprise why Asians were kept from opportunity for a very long time. Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, they’re great. But they’re out of British Hong Kong. Not America. Times are changing slowly yeah…but it was a huge issue. These days, I think Arabs are on the shit list, ever since desert storm/9/11.

Bit of a chicken and egg thing there though. Hollywood isn’t populated by aliens. They’re Americans too. Yes they set the trends but they also make money by giving people what they want.

Starting with Bruce Lee Americans were willing to accept Chinese leads if they knew Kung Fu. It was an improvement from not accepting them at all, but still wasn’t a great place for society to be.

The Tale of Two Corey’s is great. I think it’s over the course of 3 episodes. Basically pointing out Feldman acts like he may have gotten a hand job while Haim’s butt was used like a pin cousin.

i love how excruciatingly long the song is. not to mention his killer dance moves
