Live-Action ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’

[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.

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.

Who wrote the new song?

Who wrote the new song?

Pasek and Paul

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

That one also had generic princess song™

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.

Sounds like my Dad…. Since I was a kid…. There was many a time going to the theater as a family we had to elbow my dad cause he was snoring embarrassing loud

 

[Farerb]

Seems like he just lets the new guys take over. It was the same with TLM, all the new songs sound Lin Manuel Miranda. The only remake that had new songs sound like Menken was Beauty and the Beast.

There are plenty of good, sober news sources that don’t do this at all, and they’re really not difficult to find.

And I agree with her sentiments about certain voters but I (and I suspect she) don’t take it so literally. I think, much like with George W Bush, it took the majority of Americans too long to realize he was wrong about Iraq. That’s not to make a political statement, but to compare then and now. I believe many voters this time around are taking too long to wise up, and will live to realize that eventually.

No, nothing political about the above paragraph at all.
Wise up to what…? Insinuating I and others are unwise for voting the way we did…? You snarkily referred to me as trying to be “clever”, now this…?
The guy that was voted in was already there for 4 years and the world didn’t end.
I mean, who wants to go back to a secure border, low inflation, low fuel prices, low energy prices, low interest rates, low unemployment across all demographics, no major wars in the world (both of which are on the precipice of escalating into something much worse)…?
Considering how messed up things have been for too many citizens over the last almost 4 years, most of those of us who voted are willing to take that chance.
The guy that won is now left with a total mess that he and his administration have to try and clean up. Nice “smooth transition”, Joe n’ K.
Funny thing is, if he had won last time, he’d now be on his way out, and the other half of voters wouldn’t be losing there minds, but instead dancing in the streets…!!!
