Brits cast as American icons?! How Disappointing!

Rating: 1/10 (4 June 2009)

Where does this ridiculous British invasion going to end?! You have a British woman playing Sarah Connor on the Sarah Connor Chronicles. I guess it was only a matter of time before you gave the part of John Connor to a Brit as well! You ruined the new Batman movie with this horrid Brit with a lisp, and now you cast him as John Connor in the terminator! Excuse me, but are Sarah & John Connor British or American!? Because the people that are portraying them are certainly not American. Excuse me, for wanting my movies to be realistic! As far as I am concerned the movie makers are taking this British invasion rubbish a bit too far. For me, the worst part is not that Chritian Bale is British, although it is a fair point. The worst is Christian Bale himself. The guy is gross, he has a lisp, and is one of the worst actors I have ever seen in my lifetime. I don't get it. Was it a low budget movie ..or what?! Is the public so easily brainwashed?! Someone says, "oh, he's cute", and no one can think for themselves anymore? The guy is horrid! So, okay, suppose we forget that he is a Brit playing the role of an American icon. What does this say about America. We do not have an American good enough to fill the role of the American icon John Connor that supposedly saves the world? So, we get some hideous Brit with a lisp to fill the part? Well, I have lived abroad for some years now, yearning to be back home in America. But if this is what America has become, then I am not sure I ever want to go home. What's next? Hey, why not get some Brit to play the part of John Wayne! We certainly cannot find an American to fit the bill! Wake up people! Smell the coffee, before the Brits take over everything, and there is nothing truly American left! Recently someone told me about a really good series that was running in America, called Moonlight. So, I checked it out. And guess what? The lead female was a Brit playing an American reporter. Well, I guess they couldn't find an American actress good enough for that part either! Seems like everywhere I turn, there is a Brit playing the part of an American. Have we run out of American Actresses/ Actors?! Am I the only one that takes offense to this?! Am I the only one that can see how bad this makes America look?! Well, all I can say is ..I certainly hope not. Have I watched the movie ...you couldn't pay me enough. I do not have to watch it to know it's bad. :-) Chritian Bale is hideous, and a poor excuse for an actor.
