The Great Wall staring Matt Damon

[The Arizonan]

In the upcoming movie, The Great Wall, Matt Damon stars as a Chinese general.

What's next? Steven Seagal as Genghis Khan? Jennifer Lawrence as Rosa Parks?

You're acting like Hollywood whitewashing is something new.

I'll admit it's amusing to me to see this particular poster reacting with...--confusion?--outrage?--whatever it is...to this.

Hollywood needs to put this kind of crap to rest.

BUMP

Well, they released another trailer for the movie. It is about an incredible wall built to keep out dragons that are apparently from Mexico.

Recently I saw this movie and it was fun to watch if you don't mind watching crap from Hollywood.

To summarize the movie's plot, Matt Damon's character and his buddy are looking for black powder (gunpowder) and they run into a bunch of soldiers fighting for the Song Dynasty. They are captured and they learn that the Great Wall of China was built to keep the Tao Tei, a race of feral reptiles of alien origin (not Mexico), at bay. The Tao Tei came to earth via a meteorite and are out to feed on humans. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty are barely successfully at fending them off, but couldn't make them pay for the wall. The Tao Tei are led by a queen that must be killed in order to ensure humanity's survival.

Matt Damon's character also meets the daughter of a military commander and sticks around in order to impress her and help defeat the Tao Tei. In an ending that is not a surprise to anyone who has seen a Hollywood film or most people in general, they kill the Tao Tei queen and save humanity.

The only thing that is surprising about the movie is that Matt Damon's character doesn't even kiss the love interest.

Fun fact: Seagal is a recognized tulku and, as of the beginning of this year, a Serbian citizen.

Update: After getting Serbian citizenship, Steven Seagal has also obtained the Russian citizenship last November.

Apparently, Seagal is a big friend of Comrade Putin.

So Steven Seagal hacked the DNC? *snickering*

Hollywood should make a Steven Seagal movie about hacking and the Russian Federation called "On the Line".
