I'm slightly bothered by the fact that neither "heroin" nor "chic" is spelled correctly. (reference: Webster's dictionary)

Are casting calls usually this race specific? You'd think as a country, or the very least as a city as diverse as new york, we'd be beyond this.

I can see now why minority actors complain so often about the lack of oppurtunities, and rather blatant barriers that exist.

Ooohhh, what a story this is! I'm almost bummed that I'm not in NYC to follow up on this. I am shocked that the Strokes flaks would use all these mall-centric references...Green Day, Victoria Secret...I mean, given how uber-cool and counter-culture the band "is," shouldn't they have used, "Jean Genet on a crystal meth bender" or "Hedi Slimane-type amiguously homo dandy"????
UGH, the mall-ification of all things has gotten so out of hand in this country.

the mall-ification of people who talk about mall-ification is so 2003. uuggh.

It's a casting call .... get over it. Also I'm pretty sure the person who was paying the strokes out about their uncool references.... As if the strokes wrote the casting call sheet.

No news today.

Isn't Nick Stahl in Bully just white trash?

Posted by Mike Neuman | October 13, 2005 9:44 AM

Bleep off, nameless jerk. You have nothing to say, can't spell AND make no sense. Go huddle with the nerds who wrote the spelling-challenged casting call announcement...
