Lucy Liu - I demand more and better

[ghostrunner]

Why can't this woman get good parts? She's stunning, and a capable comedic actress from what I've seen. I'm not asking that she be given Meryl Streep's parts, but there must be something where she can both be challenged and have a scene or two in her underthings.

There's advertising for "Rise: Blood Hunter" on SciFi. She's in it, and I recall it coming out last year for a week. Even the name is bad - nobody understands what that means. Rise "colon" Blood Hunter? Is that a command? A request? Is Rise a series, and Blood Hunter the first part? Bad, bad bad.

This is not the first time she's had this come up. She was in something else I never saw called "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever" a few years back, which looked Matrixy. Who's Ecks? Who's Sever? Should I know?

I watched a show on IFC about the marginalization/de-sexualization of Asian men in popular entertainment. It's a real issue. Asian guys generally get two parts: scientists or martial artists.
I think it is a similar issue for Asian women; they can either be sex kittens or martial artists. However, they do get more parts than Asian men.
The show kind of troubled me.
