WTF?!?! So I am surfing on imdb and I came across something that just kinda disturbed me.............the new movie coming out December 1st called The Nativity Story. Keisha Castel-Hughes is playing the Blessed Virgin! I frankley find that very disturbing for some odd reason.
Here's a link to the movies page on imdb.

Alright, I'm going to come out against ANYONE playing the Blessed Virgin, and not because of the fundamentalist Christ-should-not-have-a-face crap that a bunch of people buy into. I think that's bullshit, too, because if putting a face on Christ helps somebody, they can just knock themselves out.
But *I* don't like to see it, because I have very specific ideas about what Mary and Joseph and Elizabeth looked like, and it is not the face of the girl who only last January was rolling around in the Virginia grass with Colin Farrell. *shivers*
Actually, all my Nativity members are white as the day is long. Hmmm. I know it's not true, it's just the way I think.
K didn't we discuss this, this morning?!?! It wasn't her in THE NEW WORLD! That was some other actress who was actually Native American, not Inuit like I think Keisha is.
Honey, look at the time stamp. I wrote this yesterday, before our discussion in the car about my lack of racial sensitivity.
OK, I'm more disturbed by Ciaran Hinds and bringing his Irish swarthiness to the role of the very Middle-Eastern King Herod.
