News Disney's Live Action Mulan

I didn't say that, and it doesn't follow from what I said. I am a fan of many genres, including wuxia.
I would have preferred a more distinctive style for this project, a style that, despite the legendary nature of the subject, might allow the viewer to come away thinking that the story might be at least half-way plausible. That's not what I saw in the trailer. What I saw were action pieces determined so to speak to compete at the extreme of implausibility (I know, what I was I thinking, that it could possibly have been something more grounded). So, for me it's a hard pass. But, enjoy!
You're buying the film.
But it says that you need to have a active subscription as well to watch it.
True. But, you don't own that content.
At that price you should own a copy. Just feels very sleazy. At least Amazon allows you to purchase movies without a Prime subscription
Meh, it's a new time. It won't last, I don't think..
Yeah, I get that creating a separate class of Disney+ users, who only want to buy Mulan without subscribing to the rest, would be a logistical nightmare, but this is fishy. You're not really buying the movie, you're renting it for a month. (Allowing former subscribers continued access to the movie alone would be less intrusive, I think, but still kinda weird.)
That offer would only be good for a month? Is this confirmed?
For 30$ it better be ownership, if only digital (but you may lose if you ever cancel the Disney+ subscription).
It's a test baloon to see how people will react and if they will use this. However i don't expect this to actually be able to finance a movie that cost 100+ million, for this you still need the big theater chains with their multiplexes.

I don't consider digital anything "ownership", $30 or not.
Ownership that requires a monthly fee is not ownership in my book.
So? Gal Gadot is an enthusiastic supporter of the murder of Palestinian civilians, doesn't make Wonder Woman a bad movie. Clint Eastwood is a jackass who thinks yelling at an empty chair is a compelling argument, yet he's a consistently great director. Gene Roddenberry was a philandering hypocrite who fucked Alexander Courage out of royalties for the TOS theme, and yet here we are on a message board dedicated to his legacy.
If I can get it on a disc for that kind of price and pop it in my blu-ray player whenever I like regardless of whether or not the studio thinks I own it, yeah I might consider it.
When going to a theatre if you factor in tickets, food, and drink, it’s about $30 or over.
None of that invalidates his point. You don't cancel one out with the other.
I never buy food and drinks at the theater. So no, not $30.
