never read the book.

Looks interesting, but a cast full of kids will probably annoy the hell outta me.

That "shit" is factually correct Maori tribal tattoo markings telling his character's Maori lineage/story.

Way to shit on other people's culture, guy.

Patient_Leech
That may be, but it still looks dumb. Remember your favorite movie to talk about...?

I guess this is something like what Mike Tyson was going for? ha

I hope they've done a good job of showing his abilities, including what he does at school before everything gets underway. Certainly has some major potential if done well. Looking forward to it.

It's already a dishonour to put those markings on Kingsley's face regardless of the fact that he's playing a Maori character.

Years ago some American tourist came here & got a moko tattooed on his chin...because "it looked cool." Upon visiting New Zealand, he was laughed at & ridiculed. The "cool" markings meant, "wife to fisherman".

not impressed by the trailer.. this looks horrible, hopefully second will assuage my feelings

Maori tribal markings are considered a rite of passage to the people of New Zealand. It's not a trend or a fashion statement.
The markings have specific meanings in regards to the status of the person in the tribe & is only performed once permission of the elders is given.

Maybe dishonour isn't the right word but it's basically disrespectful if you aren't a Maori to wear their markings on your face.

I assume he is playing a Maori in the film. Do you think it would be less disrespectful if he played a Maori but simply didn't have any markings?

Considering they're not real tattoos, he's playing a Maori character and he was advised on the specific markings by a Maori who knows the meanings/significance of the markings, I don't see how it's a dishonor.

Yeah, I've heard that before and in a couple different variations. Always wondered if it was true or an urban legend. Be lol worthy if it is, what a douche.

Oh, Rob. With all your McClove it's hard to believe you don't recognize the sound of the indigenous fangirl/boy as they proclaim ownership of a new and exciting obsession.

I know this is not going to sound like I want it to, but I can't wait to see the buggers! They were quite hard to imagine for me. And the battlefield... and the game on the computers that, like, creates the story as more interaction is involved...

Love it.

Oh lord. It's probably a bit like Mel Gibson: a nutcase in his personal life, but it really doesn't affect how great his movies are.


I will note that past the original buying of the rights, I don't think he's involved at all, which is good because a lot of his other works are pretty crap. The Lionsgate people seem pretty cool, doing the LGBT benefits thing and all, and likely just didn't realize the degree of Card's crazy.




But, fyi, he's racist too (Card writes a story about how Obama, 'a black man who can speak like a white man and thus who never has to struggle to get anything in life,' becomes a dictator by rising an army of black street gangs, and comments on how 'plausible' it'd be to happen).



He also recently wrote an 'apology' in response to the boycott stuff, which amounted to, "I hope gay rights supporters don't persecute me for my attitudes," with no actual apologies or indications he'd changed his mind on anything contained within. This is a man who once advocated the violent overthrow of the US government if gay marriage got past, and was on the board of directors of the organization responsible for Proposition 8 in California, for reference.


So Card? Total asshat on every level.

People making the movie? Didn't know what they were getting in to.

Haven't read the book itself

Was it full of veiled anti-homosexuality?

To the contrary- the book is filled with naked little boys running around, and wrestling each other in soapy, hot water.

If this isn't a joke, it would make sense that Card is a closeted pole-rider.

"Alai tenderly kissed Ender on the cheek and whispered into his ear,'Salaam.'"

Super gay dude.

Robtard
Yeah, Card is a manhole reaming selfhater.
