I had a spirited debate this week about the difficulty of casting minority leads in movies (specifically Asians) because its risky - there aren't many bankable minority leads, yet plenty of demonstrably successful white dudes. But how can there be if nobody ever casts them in lead roles? After some digging, turns out even the stats are on diversity's side - diverse movies provide better returns on investment. Sounds like some brave producer needs to lead to the way!I finally attended Tourettes without Regrets this weekend, an infamous underground variety show in Oakland. It certainly did not fail to deliver WTF moments, from sword swallowers to rap battles to burlesque and some guy who drank water through his nose. Highly recommended.I also rewatched Home Alone, which is truly timeless, but only has like 15 minutes of booby traps. I remember that as the whole movie!
