Live-Action ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’

[Disney Irish]

I don't know that I was "fooled" into anything. I saw another video of Miss Zegler being, well, Miss Zegler. And it made me chuckle.

Her own words in videos she purposely puts out on the Internet for the world to view speak for themselves. But that's what social media does, and has always done. It's not new.

But don't worry gang, Miss Zegler's latest is old news as of Thursday afternoon. Now the world has moved on to that ridiculously cringey and weird Jaguar commercial as they try to Bud Light themselves into non-existence. I owned a Jaguar once in the late 80's, a slightly used tan XJ6 sedan with gorgeous burgundy leather interior. The late 80's was also during my famous Rugby Shirt phase when I was heading into middle age and trying to look sporty. That phase actually kind of worked for me ,and although British cars have awful reputations for reliability that Jaguar served me rather well for a few years. Even when I wasn't wearing a rugby shirt.

That said, I have no earthly idea what the brain trust at Jaguar is thinking with their new campaign of sad looking and unattractive people in weird outfits that make them look even sadder. Other than putting themselves out of business in the USA rather quickly.

You got duped into thinking it was some new video, which in reality was a snippet from an almost 2 year old video. As I mentioned in my original response to your post, it was a snippet to a larger post, one taken out of context.

You got scammed because you were looking for a reason to find something to post to make fun of her.

To remind everyone how duped you got, here is the quote right from the top of your post -

Here's a fun snippet of Rachel's apology video from this week. It's all over Twitter, er... X.

You bought into the rage bait and posted it here for everyone to mock at her, and low and behold its not even about what you think it is. It was comments about her BAFTA appearance 2 years ago. Nothing to do with Snow White, nothing to do with Disney, nothing to do with any posts about the election. You got duped. Admit it and move on.

I try to be polite and kind, but also truthful.

Yet all you’ve done the last several posts is deflect and prevaricate. It would have been so easy to acknowledge that you were taken in by a video masquerading as something it wasn’t. We all make mistakes; it’s how we respond when we learn the truth that matters. And your response has been anything but truthful.

No one is raging at anything. It's funny. It's Rachel Zegler being Rachel Zegler, as only she can. She's good at it, you have to give her that. Winged Victory at the Louvre!

It was rather hilarious. It was worth a 10 second chuckle and eye roll, nothing more.

And Twitter has already moved on to the new Jaguar ad. Tomorrow by 3pm it will be something else.

Go back and read the posts from yesterday. I was trying to be helpful to others here by linking to the 30 second video I saw on my phone while eating lunch earlier. It's a funny video, just Rachel being Rachel.

And your response has been anything but truthful.

It's late. I've had my nightcap. I'm happy as a clam and things in life are going swimmingly right now, especially since the first Tuesday in November. Plus I just got back from a lovely cruise. There's nothing to lie about, nothing to obscure, plenty to have fun with. Lots of laughs so far, and we still have Thanksgiving to look forward to!

But Rachel Zegler is proving, over and over again, that she's the gift that keeps on giving. What a sweetie she is!

As expected you can't admit you got duped into believing something was new when it wasn't, even posting the same clip that falsely labels it as an "apology" video on this very page even after the original was posted just a couple pages ago.

I'm sorry after all these years I had respected you, even if I didn't agree with you. You just lost all my respect because you can't be truthful.

For the record, I just had to Google what the word prevaricate meant.

I'd disagree with that claim, as it's much too late in the evening for all that work.

The trailer in better quality:

First thoughts:

• The scenes with real people look good. But then the CGI dwarves show up and it looks... off.
• I'm not sure of the plot. It seems they changed it too much from the source material, but maybe they're just trying too hard to make the trailer look new and interesting.
• Yeah, that song is a throwaway. Like some bad auto-tuned generic Princess Ballad circa 2012. Not good.

Overall? I'm not sure this is going to make them any money. Especially with a $275 Million production budget. Eek!

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.

 

[Chi84]

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

 

[DKampy]

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

 

[Vegas Disney Fan]

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.
