Do you think he would have received criticism if people associated him more strongly with Disney?

Well I don’t know what he said. But if it was on par with Zeglars statement then yes, massive criticism.

none of us have wished “no peace” on the other side though.

I wish the “no peace” could be limited to the side who voted for it

He just sounds like another Hollywood Radical in that statement. Unless I missed something he didn’t personally attack me.

Sounds like he will go hyperventilate somewhere else now.

Is there a world in which James Cameron would personally attack you?

I’m sure I’m just missing the joke here. Your not saying you want no peace for people who want peace right ?

 

[Trauma]

Yes if he wishes me harm. That’s a verbal attack.

Big difference between saying Trump is an idiot and saying I wish you no peace.

This isn’t hard to understand.

I don’t know - these are some really great comments on her part.

It’s galling that we’re pretending the history we’ve all lived through didn’t happen.

Let’s just talk about the dumb unnecessary, live action, remake.

The dwarves look lousy.

 

[LittleBuford]

The dwarves look lousy.

They really do. I hope I get over the bad aesthetics when I watch it next week.

Just so I understand how things work, since they are cgi it’s ok to call them dwarves right ?

Dwarves is a perfectly acceptable term for real, live people with dwarfism. Little people also works.

Wow what can you even say about this level of crazy.

Thanks I thought it wasn’t acceptable for some reason.

 

[LittleBuford]

Actually, that form of the plural is reserved for Tolkien’s creatures. The normal plural is “dwarfs”.

 

[LittleBuford]

I’m not sure what you’re getting at. I have never said it would be offensive to have dwarfs in the film, though I do think the views of people with dwarfism matter more than mine in this regard. I personally don’t think the CGI route was the best; it doesn’t really skirt the issue (they still read as human little people), and the results look bad.

To reiterate: the rage at Zegler began because of her race. Her comments about the original film, taken out of context, were amplified because of the rage based on her race. People are free to criticize her comments. They are not free to rewrite the history behind the hate campaign against her.

If this board is meant to stay apolitical (an impossible goal in any case), why is this nakedly political topic allowed to fester?

In what way were her comments taken out of context?

I do remember the Snow Brown comments after her casting. I’m sure that made her comments even more of an issue for some folks. But I don’t see that as taking the comments out of context. They were made in more than one interview from what I recall

Do the elfs on the shelfs dressed in festive leafs know the correct plurals? They await hearing the hoofs of Santa's reindeer on the roofs each year.

Well, not just Tolkien, but fantasy, yeah. I spend too much time and energy on DnD apparently.

I don't see anything "crazy" with what what said.
