Disney's Live Action The Little Mermaid

[DKampy]

Things don't change if everything succeeds. If they close the park at 4:00 and charge the same amount, I don't think it's wrong to want it to fail so they open back up through the night. Yes, some seem to go way too far, but I don't think the concept is totally wrong.

If you don’t care for something you have experienced it and hope it does not work out and hope it changes is one thing…but when you hope a movie fails and continue to post how such movie failed in a gleeful manner without having even seen such movie is another see the Strange World thread for example

Thank you! I didn't know the character's name.
She was in Into the Deep which wasn't very good. It was a pretty wooden performance. This is a much smaller part so I think she will do okay here.

Incorrect. I was the first one to say the remake of Pinocchio was absolute garbage after months of hoping for the best before it was released. If Mermaid is garbage, I'll be right there to say that as well.....ONCE IT OPENS. My problem is with the haters who hate before an attraction opens or a film is released. Plus ya tossed in a nice Oscars hate fest for good measure when this was one of the best reviewed Oscars in years.

And had the third-lowest ratings in Oscar history.

Oscars are still the 2nd most watched event of the year

Perhaps you have no business trying to troll people off this message board. People have the right to comment negatively about a movie trailer. Perhaps you can learn to be a bit more tolerant of differing opinions, or perhaps you can go find an all-cheerleading Disney board that would make you happier.

Please stop or take it to private messages. No one cares about your argument except the two of you.

I guess when there hasn't been anything of note to watch so far this year.

The Academy Awards is typically the 2nd most watched TV event every year with the Super Bowl being #1….I think part of the audience decline is there is more choices on television than ever before… not to mention that for the low point of 2021 it was an odd year for the Oscars due to theaters being closed during the pandemic

It's not hard to be second when there isn't anything else. If there is a wedding, funeral or major event, it won't be number 2 that year. They are also at their lowest viewing points ever. It wouldn't be hard for the World Cup or World Series to take number 2.

Yeah if something major happens it is possible…like a 9/11…. World Series is not as big as you think…. The majority of the general population only watch if it is a team they root for…. It is not the Super Bowl where people will watch even if they do not like football

I do not think it is a coincidence that the ratings started shrinking when streaming started it’s thing… as well as YouTube began taking off… many of the younger generation opt to just watch the clips the next day if they are interested

I don't have cable anymore so I dvr'ed it off the antenna and skipped the speeches and commercials.

, I still stand by my original thoughts, it looks depressing, devoid of color, making the sea look like, well, the sea. It just has an off-putting feel to it that the underwater scenes seem to generate due to filming techniques, coloring, stylistic choices? (related to making it look like underwater?).

She has a heck of a voice on her. I'm excited for the music, not so much for the visuals. I suspect it'll do better than Strange World simply because it's based off a sound story from competent writers back in the 80s.

World Series has had one game in the last 5 years that was above the Oscars viewership this year, with the average around 7 million less people. It would take quite a lot for it to happen. The world cup would also need about a 30% jump in it's highest ever viewership. I hate the Oscars in no small part because (as stated dozens of times at this point) I have total contempt for movie critics, but it's definitely not easy to see it overtaken.

I would also add. Positivity from others has never brought me down, even if they may be overly positive. I’d much rather there be more positivity in general.

Negativity, overly negative people… they bring things down. The mood drops, the skies turn grey, and it really does impact the mood of a space.

That’s not to say criticism isn’t allowed. We are all critical over things Disney has done. Constructive criticism and debate is not an issue.

Constant pile ons and agenda driven negativity is not criticism, especially when it comes from the same group of people day after day. It’s trolling.

What do movie critics have to do with the Oscars? They do not have a vote.

Perhaps we could debate the likelihood of the new Lin-Manuel Miranda song getting a nomination…
