I was a little upset about that. Maybe they didn’t want anybody on the movie with a bigger dick than him.” Ooooh, take that Rambo!'<br /><br />so in that respect it seems like a swipe at stallone not sung kang.<br /><br /> it just doesnt seem to be a swipe at sung kang, if anything, its just jane feeling sorry for himself. sung kang could be a black role, or mexican or whatever. its just thomas jane sulking that he doesnt get his white entitlement. nothing against asians. again if ive missed anything, i apologise. just trying to be accurate. im asian for the record btw , not that that should matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566317761793185393.post-63883993689240708722011-07-08T10:13:40.168-07:002011-07-08T10:13:40.168-07:00Hi Anon...

We'll just have to wait and see.Ben Efsaneyimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001682865274251483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566317761793185393.post-63236337096256233882011-07-07T13:00:22.255-07:002011-07-07T13:00:22.255-07:00That link mentions him taking a swipe by saying ha...That link mentions him taking a swipe by saying had a bigger dick than Stallone rather than Sung Kang, so unless the article's changed, cant see any racial motives here. If there were, then that's too bad. White man entitlement has lost out ( for once) . And yay for Sung Kang and hope he gets a good break and does the Asian Community proud. <br /><br />On an acting note, i see the article as being more about a name actor that is pissed that a relatively no name actor has replaced him and i can understand that. <br /><br />On an acting preference note, I thought SK was good in Better Luck Tomorrow. Actually that was his best role i thought. The stuff ive seen him in since ( havent seen Hotel yet) has been not bad. He has that brooding thing down and he was funny in Finishing the Game, which i thought everyone was great. Havent paid too much attention to the FF franchise..so on the whole he's a decent actor who needs a major league break.<br /><br />Jane i thought was great in the Punisher. I really liked that film. Haven't seen any of his other stuff but he fit that role well.<br /><br />Regarding Stallone's flick, if it's gonna desexualise Asian men again like making Jet Li puny and bore me to death like expendibles then too bad for sung kang's artistic cred but at least he'll get paid well for it. May as well cast Ken Jeong in it.But If it's an action flick with some decent pathos in it, and SK gets a good part then, all-round winner.<br /><br />Jane needs to stop sulking, that's the nature of the business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
