It’s either they cast the dwarfs as normal-sized people, or they change the goofy nature of the dwarves so as to not offend the dwarfism community, which would ruin the story itself.

You’re in a no-win situation when you’re using that source material lol.

As for the tweet itself and the context about the multi-cultural cast?

Being mad that there aren’t enough white people, when the entirety of the Disney vault is pretty much white people or animals, is pretty snow-flakey, imo.

Of course, remaking Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs without actually using dwarfs has already been done. The porn take on the Disney classic, 7 Into Snowy didn't use dwarfs. The actors were anything but, uh, small.

Ariel is a sea creature. Can you really appropriate that?

Overall I understand this perspective, though… it just doesn’t go very far because these stories are fairy tales. Adaptation is part of the game. They aren’t untouchable IP.

What does Internet Protocol have to do with this? 😜

You can. Ariel is the daughter of King Triton who is part of the Greek mythology. I only know this because of my 8th grade mythology class.

I remember going to Family Video and we rented the Blair Witch Project only to realize pretty quickly it was the Bare Bitch Project. The only porn remake I ever saw.

Caught “Lord of the G-Strings” on Skinemax back in the day with a bunch of friends at a high school party… quality script writing for sure.

Porn screenwriting has to be one of the easiest jobs ever. Lol

Coming up with the titles would be fun……so to speak.

And the most depressing. These are the guys who couldn't make it as ad writers for a local doughnut shop chain.

Casting Leslie Nielson in a Taken spoof would have been great fun.

I must have really spelled Liam Neeson wrong to get that, but yes...that would be a fun movie lol.

And couldn’t make it as the talent, they just have to watch.

 

[Irishnuke]

They are remaking the Lost Boys and I legit want to lawyer up

How many of them will actually be boys?

C'mon Man. Deep Throat is a cinematic classic that is very thought provoking.

Long John Silver does't appear in the "Pirates" franchise. C'mon man, you have to keep within canon. Artistic integrity and all that.

The sequel will be even better. "Shiver Me Timber"

Saw No Hard Feelings over the weekend with Jennifer Lawrence, worth a few good laughs.

Looking forward to seeing Oppenheimer

I watched Sound Of Freedom this evening. Hard to understand the criticism unless you're just determined to parrot what MSNBC and the NYT tells you to say or be an asshole and criticize anything that isn't woke/LBGTQ/radical leftist. No politics, just a good story of rescuing kids sold into sexual slavery.

 

[Giddyup]

All this hub bub trying to discredit a movie. I may have to see it now.

Listening to my far right media this morning I learned the big QAnon push has been from a group called the Prostasia foundation. A lot of articles are are sourced out of this group. They are a pedo group.

Watched Tomorrow War on Prime. On the surface I thought it was great movie and plot. But I kept yelling at the TV. Just kill the fucking female queen already!!

As opposed to the male queen?

 

[Blazers46]

Right!?! Probably a QAnon film not having a male queen.

That’s the other confusing thing, millions of males…. One female. That’s species deserved to lose.

Brainwashed people are eating up what MSM is feeding them to try and discredit it sadly. I saw an ad for the movie on Twitter and the replies were all filled with ignorant people saying the movie is filled with QAnon conspiracies and right wing propaganda. Liberal media planted the seed and the mindless zombies are regurgitating the bogus information without seeing it for themselves.

Even if they did see it, that wouldn’t matter because as you note…they’re brainwashed. Facts take a back seat to a narrative and you can’t rationalize with the irrational.

Just take the truth, then spin. There are many examples, this one is just more disgusting because it has to do with the well-being of children, our most vulnerable and beloved.

The way I see, those on social media criticizing this movie for something that it isn’t…simply means they are pro-pedophila. Which is disgusting but as someone else pointed out, there are a lot of monsters out there, so not all that surprising.

 

[Black Irish]

"Renfield," I can definitely recommend watching it; clever and entertaining. Nicolas Cage is an absolute hoot as Dracula. It is gory as hell, though, so if you're not into buckets of CGI blood, it may not be for you. I especially like how it didn't overexplain the Renfield/Dracula backstory. It gave just enough exposition so people who have no familiarity with the story can follow it, but there are tidbits that reward those who are more familiar with the source material.

are you gonna head over to the "what are you listening to?" thread now to defend Jason Aldean and his lynching song?
