I remember watching that a long time ago, when I was a kid, but I can't remember it.

Cereal,don't forget One Night Stand with Wesley Snipes and Nastascha Kinski. It is to date one of the best IR movies ever made. It ranks next to Save the Last Dance.

I liked Wesley's performance in One Night Stand but the movie itself didn't really interest me (not the second time I watched it, anyways).

Zebrahead
O
Brooklyn Babylon
Jungle Fever
Mandingo
A Bronx Tale (not exclusively about his IR relationship but race was an issue)
Conviction (w/ Omar Epps, also not exclusively about his IR relationship and race wasn't really an issue with that although it was an issue in the film generally)

etc.

That's really not the point for me. The point is that character didn't exist in the comics. The only family of Iris we got to know was her nephew Wally West.



They gave Wonder Woman a black love interest in her comic around ten years ago. He was an average guy, no super power or anything. The reaction by fans were ridiculous. They hated the guy. When giving reasons most hid behind some bs that didn't make any sense. Only a few were bigoted enough to come out and claim they objected because of race. The character didn't even last two years. He was killed off (no, they just couldn't let the guy leave town....he had to die). I believe it was the negative feedback that led to the character's demise.

I've been around long enough to know if Superman or Captain America were given a black girlfriend the outrage would have been tame by comparison.



I've looked through the IMDB cast list in order to see who are the possible love interests for Johnny Storm. I didn't see anyone. No surprise there. Don't think for a minute that a huge reason why white fanboys took issue with Jordan's casting was because Johnny Storm was always hooking up with hot chicks. M. Fantastic can't do that because he is off the market as a married man. The Thing can't really do that because of how he looks (and can he even have sex with a human woman?). So Johnny Storm is the lone option to represent white male sexual vitality and now it is taken away in this new interpretation because of the casting of Jordan. Look, I'm a purist too and I was/am against the casting of Jordan in the part. But I think many fans have gone overboard over this.


By the way where was the disapproval of casting Jessica Alba, who is not completely of European descent, as Sue Storm in the previous FF films? There were a few people who took issue with her casting but not nearly as those crying about Jordan. And of course Kerry Washington was picked to play the Thing's blind girlfriend even though once again the character in the comics had been white for like 50 years. But there were no complaints from Fanboy Nation.

I was hoping Jeri Ryan would get the role of Sue Storm. She was blonde and shapely and had a maturity to match. But Jessica Alba was at the time, the IT girl. She is cute. I thought she did okay as Sue. The casting of Kerry Washington as Alicia Masters was a surprise because I, too remember her as white. I guess the point was that Alicia "felt" Ben Grimm's soul. Handicapped characters often generate sympathy and support for that character.

Superman had a situation in which he faces off against a racist villain named Bloodsport. He fired a pair of smart missiles. Each were targeted to detonate on contact with two people; one for Jimmy Olsen and the other for an interracial couple(bm/ww) who were also friends to Superman and expecting their first child. Bloodsport challenged Superman to decide which he would save first. I forgot what happened because I missed that comic. I never heard much from Bloodsport after that probably because he was from the very beginning, a killer who killed everybody. He even killed an elderly black woman after he saves her from being robbed after killing the robber.

Reading this article, I"m thinking Marisa Tomei is Anthony Mackie's Love interest in the movie, not Olivia Wilde:

Ed Helms and Olivia Wilde portray the couple's single, grown children. Helms' Hank is divorced and Wilde's Eleanor invites a soldier (Jake Lacy) she met at the airport to dinner.

Marisa Tomei stars as Keaton's sister, who has a life-changing run-in with a police officer (Anthony Mackie) at the mall.

Looks like you may be right. I was looking for more info about their characters. All I knew was that the two of them were cast at the same time.
