I was offended when Robert Downey JR played Sherlock Holmes.

They could have found a real Holmes to play the part. Maybe they could have found a relative of John Holmes.

I personally believe David Tennant would have been better, hell, he nailed Dr Who to a tee and was the best one in modern times imo

he nailed Dr Who to a tee

Is it possible... to fail... at the Dr. Who character? ;-)

Some are clearly worse than others.

I haven't watched the show in years, so I don't have an opinion on Tennant.

Edit: I used to watch Dr who years ago, so I recall the basic premise(s). Many years ago.
They changed the character too often and I moved on.

You're not missing out on much in the last year or two - that's for sure. They completely decimated his backstory and that of "his people" and made it a "social commentary" about our current times.

Tennant was by and far the best Doctor since Tom Baker.

Dr Who failed when they went SJW and oput a female Doctor in the mix as the final doctor. PERIOD

And that thing about never going "full retard" might be seen as offensive by some. I figure it was a comedy so what the hey. Twitter and PC people are pretty touchy, eh?

I thought we already went over tropic thunder like, twice, with SJW's?

And both times they got it.

Is Tropic Thunder going to be like the "Coronavirus" of movies that gets brought up every few years among the 'woke generation', when those who haven't heard of it/seen it discover it? Are we going to have waves out Tropic Thunder black-face outcry lmao?
