What do you think of Community? I've been enjoying it...refreshing, but then I like Joel McHale too (and think Chevy Chase is cast well, even if it's typecast).
I'm a fan-- see this post.

But when I first heard "non-white Spiderman from Community", I thought Abed.

I could get behind Abed Spiderman.

Casting him would make more sense that casting Donald Glover in the role.

Personally, I think a black Peter Parker makes as much sense as a remake of The Cosby Show starring Conan O'Brien as Dr. Huxtable. Maybe a black man who somehow became endowed with the same abilities as Peter Parker would work, but to take such a well known character as Parker who's been around over 40 years and suddenly say, "Oh, by the way, we forgot to mention that his ancestors were African," isn't going to fly. His face, social setting, and back story are too well engraved in the social consciousness.

The powers-that-be behind Smallville were able to successfully cast Sam Jones III in the role of young Clark's best friend Pete Ross because blond-haired, blue-eyed Ross was always a fairly minor character in the DC universe, and there was not that much history to overcome in terms of his character. I dare say that most people don't even remember Pete Ross from the comics; but Parker is too well-known.

I'd love to take credit for it, however it wasn't me but my partner who said "Yeah...but Abed'd be better" when I told him.

Cheers,

I got into it because of that post, and it's now my favourite comedy on air (well just gone off air, but it does have a 2nd season). The paint ball episode left me crying. It was absolute genius.

So, belated thanks for turning me onto it.

I enjoyed watching Sexe, Gombo et Beurre Salé (Sex, Okra, and Salted Butter) last night. It was well done and very funny. Unfortunately, you're not likely to find it even if you wanted to.

I very, very much enjoyed watching The Band's Visit (Bikur Ha-Tizmoret).

Just watching the preview makes me want to watch it again!

Rewatched the Gospel According to St. Matthew and would highly recommend it (along with all of Pier Paolo Pasolini's work)

What are your favorite films of 2010 so far? Mine are the following (Note: I haven't seen that many so far):

Inception
Please Give
Kick Ass
Splice
The Social Network

The Town was also enjoyable.

I am looking forward to seeing Black Swan, All Good Things, Blue Valentine, Tron: Legacy, and Never Let Me Go.
