The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

[tharpdevenport]

Yeah, the toxic Leftist culture of Disney keeps them from seeing the realities of their [wilful/purposeful/intentional] mistakes. In reality and Sanityville, Snow White wouldn't have been made and the script wouldn't have been approved. Hell, a pitch meeting might have been stopped mid pitch. But none of that happened.

So instead of having a Come to Jesus moment with Reality, they instead see the failures and success as a way to gauge making more live-action films, which will never be adequate. Pats on the back when they are right, more excuses when they are wrong again.

Meanwhile, Mr. Mouse is in the dark corner smoking like Cigarette Smoking Man from "The X-Files", not giving an F.

And those CGI abominations they called dwarves would not have happened.

The next generation does need Nightmare Fuel, though.

And short actors deserve work.

 

[tharpdevenport]

Every little bit helps.

Usually it's "get woke and go broke". But Disney manages to make enough from their non-pandering projects that they can keep at it.

Given that Moana and Tangled both pretty strong female protagonists, the controversy should be far less. As long as they don't hire Rachel Zegler again.

 

[tharpdevenport]

It's not about a strong female protagonist. We've had weak male leads, flawed male leads, even ones that were bad and got it in the end in films, same for women, it should be about the writing, the acting, he plotting, etc., not "Well, she's strong, woke, and 110 lbs and can hand a 250 muscle-bound man his ass."

But Reality is told to go see the special door marked Egress at Disney.

 

[Oddish]

"The Little Mermaid", the cartoon, had a strong female protagonist. Yes, Prince Eric saved her at the end, but only after she'd saved his human butt twice.

The live action reboot, on the other hand... couldn't handle any amount of heroics from a male. And as a result, it expected us to believe that someone who couldn't handle a fork could precision-sail a ship.

And no, it wasn't about Ariel's skin color. I actually liked that change.

New images show Glasgow's fantasy makeover ahead of Samuel L. Jackson film shoot

Parts of Glasgow have undergone a dramatic transformation this week as filming is set to begin for a new film starring Samuel L. Jackson.

www.glasgowtimes.co.uk

Since we've talked about it here before, I want to share it. Some details about J.J. Abrams' new movie may have come out:

Reports suggest it will be a fantasy film inspired by the 1984 movie The Last Starfighter, a space opera about a video game player recruited to fight an interstellar war against aliens.

Fans of Jenna Ortega are speculating that the actress' character could be an alien, as there are still no photos of her on set.

I don't know if it was broadcast in the US or if anyone here watches it. Disney Channel had a Latin American TV series called Soy Luna. Disney Plus Latin America decided to revive it.

I am Moon?

I'm Luna (must be about someone named Luna)

yes, i searched the internet and like the rest of the world, disney plus was added in the us in 2020 except for that: disney channel was not broadcast in the us. but it was broadcast on all disney channels outside the us. it was broadcast in turkey in 2019. by the way; i am moon is a song in that series, the user above is also referring to the show 2 watched. although i follow the leading actor on instagram, i didn't watch the series as much as i watched it on disney plus 'just now' out of curiosity.

I like 9-1-1. It's one of my mom's favorite shows as well. But don't see why they need spin-offs.

But don't see why they need spin-offs.

Because there's money to be made.

This will be a late comment but I still want to write. It didn't work out just because of Rachel Zegler but also because Gal Gadot is a supporter of Israel. That movie was swept under the carpet by both supporters of Palestine and supporters of Israel for these reasons. It's not good for Rachel Zegler to not be successful at the box office in terms of being watched in any movie she stars in and for her to talk nonsense on social media and at events she attends. I think she should have a PR team to keep her away from social media and work on what to say at events. Apart from that, she should definitely start acting in Netflix's youth TV series and movies after the movies she stars in fail at the box office and continue on Broadway.

 

[Oddish]

The movie was already in trouble, thanks to those CGI dwarves. But Zegler's antics made a bad situation far worse. Especially given her total lack of respect for the source material, which literally was the first ever full length animated movie.

They should have kept Lone Star. It got to be far better than the original, IMO.
