Why Can’t Spider-Man Be Black? [VIDEO]

Stone Mountain native Childish Gambino aka Donald Glover is riding high. His latest album “Camp” is getting rave reviews, as well as his Comedy Central standup special “Weirdo” which aired this past weekend.  While Glover has no problem racking up fans with his rapping and comedic skills, there was one line mainstream America wouldn’t let him cross.  When Sony Pictures decided to reboot the Spider-Man film franchise, Glover’s name was thrown in the ring as a possible casting choice for Peter Parker. Unfortunately, things got real ugly when Glover started receiving hateful comments across the blogosphere. “All these nerds were hitting me up on Twitter and emailing me, calling me n*gger and saying don’t take Peter Parker away from us,” Glover shares.  The role would eventually go to British actor Andrew Garfield, but Glover would end up having the last laugh–this past fall, Marvel Comics introduced Miles Morales, a Black and Latino teenager from the Bronx, as the new Spider-Man in their Ultimate line of comic books . (via Hardknock.tv) Watch Donald Glover interview below: What say you readers? Were the reactions to Donald Glover’s casting proof positive that America has a long way to go when it comes to diversity? Share your comments below.

Nickelback Detroit ‘Debacle’ Perfect For Funny Or Die

‘We’re huge fans of Funny or Die and anything Will Ferrell is associated with — we’re there,’ Chad Kroeger tells MTV News. By James Montgomery Chad Kroeger of Nickelback Photo: Getty Images The ongoing situation between fans of the Detroit Lions and Nickelback — which, for the uninitiated, involves the band’s performance during the team’s Thanksgiving game, an online petition and the United Way — is the kind of thing that practically lends itself to parody. So it’s no surprise that the folks over at Funny or Die have decided to enter the fray, with a new video that actually stars the Canadian quartet. Given the rather vehement acrimony the band has suffered thanks to the petition (which, at last count, includes more than 75,000 signatures and messages like “Haven’t the good people of Detroit been through enough?”), you’d probably be surprised to learn that, as soon as they were approached by FoD, Nickelback said yes to the spoof. Then again, they’re the kind of band that is definitely aware of their public perception. “They called us up. They said, ‘This whole debacle that’s going on in Detroit it just lunacy. We here in the comedy field think it’s just perfect for making fun of, and if you guys would like to come down here … ‘ ” frontman Chad Kroeger told MTV News. “We’re huge fans of Funny or Die and anything Will Ferrell is associated with — we’re there. So we’re like, ‘Absolutely, we’d love to come and make fun of the whole thing and ourselves at the same time.’ ” Of course, Nickelback will also be the first to admit that perhaps their acting skills aren’t up to par. Which is why the only thing standing in the way of their Funny or Die clip’s viral success may be Nickelback themselves. “As soon as they get real actors to take our places, then it’s going to be viral,” guitarist Ryan Peake laughed.

The most common reason anyone will give you if asked why their relationship didn’t work out is that the other person changed. What is the most common way a man changes? It turns out he is not as sensitive has he played himself off to be in the beginning. What is the most common way a woman changes? It turns out she is a lot more sensitive than she played herself off to be. (Continue Reading At Madame Noire)

My feelings about Ricky Gervais have become more complex than they once were as some of his comedy and general public statements have veered into mean-spirited territory over the past year or two. But he can still deliver and/or enable a very biting and hilarious sort of comedy, as evidenced by clips from Life’s Too Short, the show he is doing with Warwick Davis and Stephen Merchant. The last time… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : /Film Discovery Date : 11/11/2011 00:56 Number of articles : 4

In Dreams: Celebrity Nudes on DVD and Blu-ray 11-8-11 [PICS]

We’ve got the fluff dreams are made of nude on Blu-ray this week, from Angelina Jolie as a scorching Sapphic supermodel in the unrated version of Gia (1998), Isabella Rossellini fully nude in the kinky cult classic Blue Velvet (1986), and the undead, undressed working girls of Frankenhooker (1990). Plus, style reigns in the arty neo-noir One in the Gun (2010) and Catherine Breillat ‘s equally atmospheric The Sleeping Beauty (2010), both nude on DVD. The Change-Up (2011) is also new on DVD and Blu-ray, but proceed at your own risk: those funbags are CGI fakes: When a woman is as gorgeous, sexually charged, and self-consumed as supermodel Gia Carangi was, it’s hard to imagine her rolling out of bed and looking into a dressing-room mirror without stopping to slip a hand into her swampy delta and strumming the bean while feasting her eyes on her immaculate self. Honestly, what could compel such a perfect creature to do anything other than loll stoned all day in bed with tweaking fingers trading off duty on nipples and love nub? The answer, according to the singularly sexy biopic Gia (1998), is that only another chick of equal, complementary appeal- future superstar superstar Angelina Jolie – can capture the attention and motivate the affections of such a splendid narcissist. Take a long, hard look. Could you possibly have behaved differently, if you were her? What evil lurks in the grasslands of American suburbia? A severed ear crawling with ants, drug-sniffing Dennis Hopper , and a full-frontal Isabella Rossellini , that’s what, at least in the world conjured by loon director David Lynch in Blue Velvet (1986). Teen sleuth Kyle MacLachlan solves a twisted mystery by endangering his mind, body, and soul in a world of kinky, nightmarish freaks along the way. If you like your women stark raving mad and completely starkers, then say hello to Isabella’s bouncing sisters and their bearded cousin running naked and turning Blue Velvet into a blue movie. The splatterific cult classic Frankenhooker (1990) follows med-school dropout Jeffrey Franken ( James Lorinz ) as he cruises the red-light district looking for prostitutes to supply his girlfriend’s ( Patty Mullen ) decapitated but still living head with a stitched-together body using his new invention, “supercrack”, as bait. Fast-forward to the 1 hour mark, where Patty bares her frankentush and frankenhooters for a john, then franenstraddles, frankenrubs, and frankenslays the poor bastard. Look for a whole bevy of topless hookers, including Vicki Darnell and Jennifer Delora in a supercrack-fueled orgy in a hotel room. Take a twisty, turny stroll down neo-noir lane in the LA thriller One in the Gun (2010). Surrealism and Lynchian ambiance are the order of the day in this tale of Mickey Lewis ( Steven Man ), a down-on-his-luck artist who is hired to paint the home of seductive millionaire Katrina Webb ( Katherine Randolph ). A series of double, triple, even quadruple-crosses lead Mickey to a fateful desert motel filled with secrets about his past, present and future. Femme fatales Katherine Randolph and Kristina Coolish kick things up a notch or ten by appearing fully nude, Kristina at the 20 minute mark and Katherine 24 minutes in. Add some skintillating T&A from Kika Perez, and you’ve got a slice of skinema that’ll really cock your trigger. The classic fairy tale gets the sexy treatment you’d expect from director Catherine Breillat in The Sleeping Beauty (2010). When princess Anastasia ( Julia Artamonov ) was born, an evil witch decreed that she’d die at an early age; three good witches tried to reverse the curse, but the best they could do is cause her to fall asleep at age six, only to awaken a hundred years later at the physical age of sixteen. When Anastasia finally awakens, she has steamy affairs with both a gypsy girl ( Rhizlaine El Cohen ) and young nobleman Johan ( David Chausse ). Julia gives us a lingering look at her love muffins lying in bed with her lady love 1 hour, 9 minutes in, and again with her guy 1 hour, 15 minutes in. That’ll give you some sweet, sweet dreams! Two best friends swap bodies after peeing in a magic fountain in the comedy The Change-Up (2011). Dave Lockwood ( Jason Bateman ) is an uptight family man who longs for the freedom skinjoyed by his freewheeling single buddy Mitch Planko ( Ryan Reynolds ). But Mitch also envies his buddy’s stable life, and after a night out discussing this very issue the inebriated twosome stop to pee in a fountain before heading home. That pee turns out to be the diddle of destiny when, the next morning, Mitch and Dave awaken to find they’ve switched bodies. Leslie Mann (left) appears to make her nude debut baring boobs as Dave’s long-suffering wife, and Olivia Wilde similarly appears to show some suckle stalk underneath her long black hair as she mounts Mitch/Dave, but don’t be fooled. Those ta-tas are CGI imposters added in post-production. And that’s a change-up we can’t get behind. CU Next Tuesday, skin fans, for all the newest and nudest releases on DVD and Blu-ray right here at the Mr. Skin blog!
