'Humans are the Elvis of snack food' - The Flood

Um vin diesel is black. just thought i'd put that out there for y'all. and have any of you seen 'man on fire' or 'training day'. trust me, denzel can do bad ass. as far as who he'd actually play. I'd say Johnson on the outside, but Fredrick(for those of you who read the books) is probably black however that wouldn't be a very meaty role unless it was going to be based on 'first strike'. But he could definitely do MC. And you folks who aren't black, i'll clue you in, we get real pale from lack of sunlight over extended periods just like you do. My legs ahven't seen the sun in almost a decade and if that was all you could see of me, then you'd swear I was a white man with a day old tan.

rock maybe?

and chin check head.... cant type?... i accidentally hit the space button one letter ahead and now i'm retarded

and ur thing about acting doenst make sense... oooh u act to become them, and then u go on about how no one can act like the chief.... what? what's that? switching sides? oooh ur gonna backpeddle now? hmmmm? ooooooohh yeah, now your gonna defend what you said, try to insult me on some baseless thing you pulled out ur butt and feel confident that you have beaten me.


I wasnt back peddling stupid. I was saying people act like a person, and your speaking like if theres someone out there born to play the role of the MC, like if your really going to find a 8 feet tall freak with military training since he was 6. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. But yes somone could act like if that happened. But your never going to find someone who is like that.

And shut up. If your reading comprehensions are so low not to understand a simple paragraph maybe your are mentaly challenged, you sure act like it with your damn immaturity.

PEOPLE!! LISTEN!! i'm not bein racist when i say Denzel can't be MC because he's black!! it's cold hard truth!! MC is white in all the books. BUT, I can think of someone else that Denzel fits the Profile of KICK ASS MARINE for... hmm... who could that be? SERGEANT JOHNSON!!!!

zomg we don't even know if it's for real so just knock it off and try to keep this stuff in the right forum.


your an idiot, flame me i dont care.



why am i an idiot? I think you're the idiot... think about it... It's a movie which means MC will most likely not have his helmet on the whole time.... which means whatever actor plays him is going to have to fit the profile of MC... otherwise it would piss a bunch of Halo fans off... but it's been confirmed that Denzel was talking to Jackson about a Job which means he could very well be playing Johnson.

i'm not trying to yell my opinion over anybody... i have people backing me up in telling him to shut up dude... it didnt have anything to do with this forum he wasn't posting any ideas... and your the one attacking people calling them dumbasses and jumping down my throat cause i dont think some stupid kid and his friends are right about what color the mc is when in the books its white and he has a raspy white voice sounds like he's been smoking for twenty years... i am surrounded by black people everyday all my life and many are my friends and i have never heard one raspy sounding black guy or let alone anyone else who sounds like the chief who happens to be voice by a white guy....

His Helmet will be off? Uhhh...yeah...seeing as the movie is going to follow what went on in Halo..he's always running aroudn without a Helmet, thus having no energy shield.

Also, why do you think they'd showthe actor's face? I think they will get a tall unknown, like the guy they got to play Leatherface in the newest Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

me = immaturity? i'm not the one overreacting cause i found some guy who had a very good point about how wining about being offedned by some guy's stupid borderline racist remark... and then trying to find ways to insult him...

i never said you were backpeddling, i was questioning u if u were gonna start backpeddling ..... talk about reading comphrehension which is my highest subject score on tests.... so i'm not -blam!- retarded, it was a thirty three on the act....

i never said anything about finding a real person to be that tall... denzel does not give me or anyone else who has a brain the feeling of master chief..... ,
get off my back
denzel is prob. gonna be johnson or another spart brought up by that other guy


very good point by the way... another spartan in the movie? possibly played by denzel? i'm intrigued.

They described him as a white 6 year old male with red hair in the books, there i owned you all.
You just owned yourself. He had brown hair. When he was older, his hair was extremely dark, and about an inch long.


lol, sorry, your right. But he is definatly white.

I think that Denzel would fit the part of Sarge better than John-117.

Your just saying that cause hes black. denzel is almost always playing a serious black bad ass. not a witty black bad ass.

hell Chris Rock would be a better pick LMAO.

  • 07.11.2006 9:50 PM PDT

that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

well, consider that in the books he is WHITE, with red hair and frekals, umm...sure he could be black and ruin it.

(no racism intended)

counter points

name racist remarks- trying to prove the point that scolding them on this forum isnt going to do anything... not trying to rub it in their face

attackign people- I was defending the dude who started the forum from all the people throwing a fit over its not in the right are or whatever bull -blam!-

and i never said you weeeeere backpeddling i asked if u were going to start... its not hard get over it...

and no i'm not back peddling not taking anythign i said back in fact, i think i did slip it by you, cause u sure as hell didnt catch any of this did you, you went out of your way to prove me wrong and ... you didnt.

okay, one person... but if ur gonna diss me on that, how many people are on your side... ( lookst at lone heretic).... he was just made about the racial slurs, not even really defending you... so +1 for me.... anything else you want to throw at me or should i start attackign you now?... but then u would call that immature and we'd be at all over again.... hmm... it'd be nice if u could be quiet now...

vin diesel is white. he talks like a white person, and most importantly, his skin is white!


keep living the dream dude. I got a cousin lighter than he is. Vin did what we call 'passing' for a loooong time. Your pen name is quite ironic given the subject we are discussing.

as far as the original discussion. John Creesy (the character from 'man on fire') was 'white' in the book and the first iteration of the film. At the end of the day, however, he something else before he was a race or creed or color or sex; he was a character. Character's, if they are strong enough, can be played by almost anyone. Heck, the Chief could be a female and it wouldn't matter because the character just kicks all kinds of rump!

Practically speaking, after further consideration, if he's going to be in this movie, Denzel most likely will play Captain Keyes. Like it or not, Denzel is one of the biggest stars in the world. Wasting his face behind a mask for 90% of the film (no matter how much it would rock to see a black face come out from under that mask at the end just to knock ol bigsby a good one) just ain't cost effective.

Where did this rumor come from anyways?

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Dnzel will not play Captain Keyes either, because Captain Keyes is White (no Racism intended).

Bungie has creative Control so hey get the final decision on actors.

Denzel will pobably play Seargent Johnson.

I think it's bad enough that we don't have people who will look like the people in the games, courtesy CGI movie..now you think it would be good to change the character's race? No. Just no.

This thread is hilarious.

Listen, if Bungie wanted to magically change races in the movie, they wouldn't blow everyone's minds now. They would have made Captain Keyes black if they wanted him black; the same with the Chief or anyone else. Bungie made the choice that they'd be white, so they need to be played by white people (if you see them) in the movies.

This isn't a race issue, it's an issue over continuity and previously established perameters.

The only person I can think of who would make a good Sgt. Johnson is the guy Johnson is based off of-- the Sarge from "Aliens". But that man is too old, so they'll have to settle or find someone else very similar in tone and looks.

Kurt Russel with white hair would look a lot like a Captain Keyes, IMO.

I don't care who plays MC, since I'll be mad no matter what if they show his face. As long as Downes voices him, I'm fine.
