Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

[Disstevefan1]

Now THIS is a good movie!

I’ve read the reviews and it sounds like something the grandkids would like. It does not sound like something my husband would care to see.

I’ve seen good, bad and mediocre reviews but they all praise Zegler’s performance.

Honestly I don’t think the critic scores mean squat.

I just though they would be higher for this type of film.

Understood, but as we like to do providing context is always good which is what I was trying to do.

View attachment 848926This is shocking to me. I thought it would be an easy 80% fresh. This must be really bad.

This is why I said never trust the "early reactions" that come out before an official review embargo is lifted. Early social media reactions are almost always positive.

First I'm far from affluent, I make a good living, but I'm considered middle class in my area.

You’re missing an opportunity. This is the internet, where your net worth is limited only by your imagination

Or maybe I'm trying to undervalue myself to come across as a more common person.

I mean some have accused me of being Iger himself (jokingly of course), so I might be so affluent it needs a new word created.

You can’t live far away. Would you like to come over for dinner ?

We can over my financial statements.

Although maybe I will be in a rented rented house, with a rented car and fake documents.

It never ends with you.

I'm sure that Gadot is better than that dreadful actor who played Jafar.

I actually didn’t mind him.

Oh, and Marc Webb is no Guy Ritchie.

Hey, speaking of Marc Webb, where’s Buddy?

He was quite high on Marc Webb.

Shock.

Oh yeah! I remember him now!

What are you talking about? It was a joke to another poster who understood it.

Do you think everything is about you?

How I miss Buddy. I hope he comes back soon.

 

[Phroobar]

Now THIS is a good movie!

I'd watch that for a dollar.

I think I’ve seen some of those posts

At this point it should be fairly easy to spot when something is going to go off the rails.

It actually didn’t go off the rails when she said it. No-one noticed or cared about her remarks concerning the original film until they were suddenly dredged up months later by certain individuals and outlets determined to stir the pot. They certainly succeeded.

 

[Trauma]

What are you talking about?

You know what I’m talking about.

Every time I say something, you like to directly or indirectly, accuse me of fabricating the story.

Last time you couldn’t possibly believe that my daughter didn’t like TBA.

As before you can speak with her directly if you would like.

So either stop making direct or veiled comments about my honesty or take me up on my offer.

I edited my post to say that it was a joke to another poster who apparently understood it and responded.

100 percent created by AI! Zero humans!

She made multiple comments that were interpreted as criticizing the original movie. A lot of people care passionately about this stuff so I'm not really surprised there was a negative reaction to them. I do think because we're Disney people it's a bigger "storm" here than in the world at large though.

I don’t find the reaction to those comments at all proportionate. Indeed, the vitriol was bizarre at best and unhinged at worst. I am someone who cares passionately about the original film; that doesn’t give me the right to lose all reason when someone criticises it.
