That vacuum being is ego.

The more I read about Nicholas Winding Refn, the more I want to punch a hole in the wall. Mainly because I spent money to see Drive twice (dazzled by TheGos, so sue me) and even bought the damn DVD (I know, I know…) where he confesses why he whitewashed Irene. What a fool I was!

Ryan Gosling is in Thailand “cheating” on all of us, as Michael K would say, with Eva Mendes, but he’s there to shoot Refn’s Only God Forgives. Here’s what the movie is reportedly about: 

So it’s another movie we can add to the pile where white protagonists are set against a non-white environment. GREEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT. 

As to why:  

Apparently he’s ignored some of the great genre-bending Westerns that have come out of Asia in the past decade… Sorry, dude. Your idea isn’t new nor is it that enticing. 

And then there’s this to look forward to…

You know this shit will pick up all the acclaim too. Please…

Bitch is a privileged, overhyped, unrepentant whitewasher who likes to make feature length music videos for critics to jerk off to and who cries to 80s synth pop.

No thank you.
