Stefano Bras Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 37 minutes ago, Hermione said: Yeah there isn't anything wrong with referring to someone who's black as black, there kind of is something wrong with referring to a professional actress who has a name and is doing her job as "that [anything] girl" and making a bitchy comment about her as if she's just a fangirl who's after Billie, though. I don't see what's wrong with calling her that even if she's the goddamn president, but I agree with the bitchy comment thingy, it's unnecessary.

Steven Seagull Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Sorry because I didn't know her name You know ... I don't like Broadway idiot ... I only know that she was part of the cast. I didn't want to start a flamewar. Move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I would rather say her name instead but you shouldn't get offended by him saying "That black girl from AI cast" (That's something that has always bug me from American PC culture, ugh). Btw, damn she looks hot on that trailer. It'd taken him less than two seconds to look her name up to say that black girl and then add an insult to her he knew what he was doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21guns&novacaine Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I thought the trailer was great, kinda came off as a film, or documentary of 'Billie Joe's life without Green Day'. One that note, it'd be sick as fuck if Mike and Tre had cameos in it. I personally liked the title Geezer better, but Ordinary world feeds into the whole Green Day vibe nicely. Ughhh I'm so excited to see this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefano Bras Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 What I meant to say is that in my country, for instance, it's completely fine for someone to say stuff like "Nigger" or "Faggot" as long as you are joking. Of course that if you truly are racist, xenophobic or homophobic you will surely be rejected by everyone. But in places like USA or Europe you can't even joke about it, it's ridiculous. That's why I said people shouldn't be saying stuff like "Excuse you, she has a name.. triggered", chill out. I fucking hate PC culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because people pointed out his post about her was disrespectful/rude it doesn't mean they were "triggered", no one freaked out about it. I think it's quite clear that while the post was disrespectful towards Rebecca Naomi Jones as an actress Seagull referred to her as a black girl only to identify her and no racism was intended. No need for a racism/PC debate, let's move on and get back to discussing the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry big boy and no.. it's not just "idiots of my age", and it's not about laughing about it either. It's just not getting offended by a word without even taking into consideration the intention behind it. There's a lot of immigrants of my country in the US and it's like a common joke among us to talk about how americans freak out if you, for example, say "black" "gay" or fatty" to refer to someone, we don't mean it as pejorative term, actually is a common thing, almost friendly. And I didn't meant to go off topic, I was initally talking about Rebecca N. Jones. 13 minutes ago, Joey said: Get your head out of your arse and be polite you prick. Political correctness is just being considerate with your language, it's not state oppression. Read what I just said. That's the thing, it's not unpolite to say this words, unlike in your countries which is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 The trailer got me much more excited for this movie. Judging from it, Billie's acting has improved. And the songs playing in the background sound stellar. I can't wait to watch the whole thing, it might be a solid movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teenage Lush Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 honestly wasn't interested in the movie at all until seeing this trailer but now i'm excited! bj looks so cute with his grey hair and glasses. also as a huge fan of the office i am really loving all jenna fischer's tweets talking up this movie/billie joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I'm pretty psyched to see this movie... the trailer had me laughing when Willie Joe asked Fred Armisen if that beautiful black actress was going to strip and Freddy says, 'no, I think she's gonna read the bible'. Looking forward to the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
