Live-Action ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’

[donaldtoo]

Happens all the time. She said what she had to say, like so many before her. Why act like it’s something new, or that it’s clever to know she probably didn’t mean most of it?

First off, I wasn’t trying to be clever, and am fully aware it happens all the time. I’m 62, and have seen tons of same over the years on TV and in newspapers, and now on social media, whether it be posts, video, etc. I was trying to be a bit generous/diplomatic. Give her a slight benefit of a doubt.
My point was simply, why even bother if you know (and everyone else knows) you’re being disingenuous…?
I’m sure somebody, strongly, suggested to her that she might want to apologize and back off a bit.
If it were me, at my age, I woulda’ told ‘em to stuff it. I said what I meant, and I stand by it.
There’s nobody out there whose opinion of her changed one bit from her “apology”. Nobody’s buying it.
She’s already put it out there how she really feels. She just apologized for saying so in such a public manner.
Again, why even bother…?

Aw, crap. I just Googled. Helen Reddy passed away four years ago.

She was great overall, and that song she sang on the lighthouse in Pete's Dragon was wonderful!

That is such a lovely song and performed beautifully. It seems to be mostly forgotten and completely underused by modern day Disney and I don't understand why.

Maybe we can ignore the untruthful distraction and talk about the movie!

Not the kind of social media you consume. To the extent that I can, I steer clear of trolls and other agitators. I consider the dross they peddle unworthy of attention, and when it does cross my path (generally in this forum, alas), I take the few simple steps needed to fact-check. It’s telling and ironic that you were the one lecturing me earlier about the unreliability of mainstream news!

I will leave the haters to their twitterverse…. So much more love and positivity on Bluesky

 

[DKampy]

The problem is those who consume such media and believe everything they hear. I’ll watch Rachel Maddow with an open but discerning mind. Sometimes I’ll say out loud, “I don’t know if I’d go that far;” or if something sounds far fetched, I Google it to learn for myself.

Oh yeah… I think most people will watch what ever news they side with…. Like I know I will never turn on Fox News as it will just make me angry.,,, I just know watching MSNBC leans a little too much the other way

I think if given half a chance many Disney fans will enjoy it based on what I can pick up from the trailer.

I thought the same thing watching the trailer, it looks interesting and (much of it) looks better than I expected, this is where unpopular comments like Zeglers become a factor though because I’m not going to pay to see it in a theater knowing there’s a good chance I’m going to be annoyed because I don’t like the lead actor. I’m not willing to give it half a chance because I don’t like the lead actor.

It’s to the point you can quickly detect the fake news designed to create faux outrage just by the source or the tone.

When something sounds silly, it’s often false, exaggerated, taken out of context.

Sounds like nearly all of mainstream news media, most of the “gotcha” clips they use were originally minute long comments clipped down to a few seconds to completely take them out of context.

This is true for all of them, they use faux outrage and bait headlines just as much, and in some cases are worse, than the rage bait YouTubers.

Oh yeah… I think most people will watch what ever news they side with…. Like I know I will never turn on Fox News as it will just make me angry.,,, I just know watching MSNBC leans a little too much the other way.

I’m the same but the opposite direction, I find MSNBC unwatchable but I can only watch Fox for about 5 minutes before I’m rolling my eyes and sighing and switching to CNN, which usually lasts about 5 minutes before I’m rolling my eyes and sighing before switching back to Fox… and repeat, ultimately I usually end up reading the news online because I find all the mainstream stuff unbearable.

I mean lets be honest, you have said you don't see value in going to the movies anymore in another thread and haven't been since 2020.

I haven’t been back to a movie theater since 2020 because I don’t see the value in it anymore.

So I don't think the lead actor is the reason you're not going to pay for this movie in a theater, you're not paying for any movie in a theater. Which is ok, that is your choice. Maybe you'll watch it when its free somewhere and you'll give it a chance.

But in general as I said I think most Disney fans, again if given half a chance, will likely enjoy this movie as it seems to follow a majority, if not all, beats from the original with some added content to flesh out the story, at least based on the trailer.

Possibly, but the fact I don’t like the actress is a built in excuse why Snow White won’t be the movie that gets my butt back in a seat either, Deadpool was the closest I’ve come to buying a ticket but I couldn’t convince my Gf to go because she said it’s too graphic, prior to that it was Avatar but we were so busy over the holidays we just never made it to the theater. I’m always surprised they release tentpoles during the holidays because Nov/Dec is already so chaotic.

They release tentpoles in November and December because that is when a large majority of families are on break and needing something to do to get away from that chaos. There is a reason why they continue to be successful.

Well maybe one day there will be a film that brings you back to a theater and puts your butt back into a seat.

We haven’t paid for a movie in a theater since we saw “Frozen” back in 2013.
I haven’t seen a movie in a theater since I saw “American Sniper” back in 2014. But that one was at one of our local Alamo Drafthouse Cinema locations, included lunch and alcohol at the theater, and was paid for by the architectural firm I used to work for, during a half-day Friday office event.
No clue when we’ll see a movie in a theater again, as it’s pretty pricy these days, even without food and drink.
Ohhh, how I miss the dollar theaters of yore.

That’s why discounted Tuesday Matinees were my go to movie time, cheap seats and far fewer people in the theater making noise.

I usually go to the last showing on Thursday nights, not really cheaper but the theater usually only has a few people in it unless its a really popular movie that everyone was rushing to see.

Pre-kids we used to go to dollar movie theaters. They always had movies from a few years ago. It was quiet and dark. Usually the bum sleeping in the corner of room wasn't snoring to loud.

That’s no bum, it’s my husband.

That explains why I was getting such live-action Aladdin vibes from it. Meh.

Yeah, I think Menken was asleep while the other two wrote it and slapped his name on it. His work on the Spellbound song they released sounded great, so I know he's still got it.
