Snow White and the Seven … Whatever They Identify As

[Horace]

Rotten Tomatoes audience score is at 74%, compared to critic score of 44%. The opposite of what bad politicized films usually are. Strange.

There may have been politicization leading up to the release of the film, but there really isn't much politicization in the film itself. It's still an entertaining film. In the theater I saw families bringing little girls dressed in Disney styled Snow White costumes and they enjoyed the film just fine.

It would be interesting to know how many of the reviews on both sides are written by people who've actually seen the movie.

I'm not going to watch a kids movie I'm not interested in just so that I can write a review about it.

One of my most vivid memories in the US was when I was taken by some friends to see the midnight showing of "Rocky Horror Picture Show".

That was an eye opener for sure!!! 555

You don't want to be around people who go to midnight showings of Rocky Horror Picture Show. They will also want to take you to gay pride parades, mark my words.

[jon-nyc]

Sounds like you’re speaking from experience.

[taiwan_girl]

@Horace LOL. It was quite the experience, but actually quite fun.

[Mik]

Been there. It is fun. But sit in the back if you don’t want to be pelted with toast.

I'm emotionally scarred from watching Cabaret in 7th grade social studies, presented to us by what must have been an early adopter of educated white female social insanity. I will always flinch from anything that sniffs of that.

Dunno. I thought Liza was kinda cute, back in the day.

And she's got her mother's pipes.

[LuFins Dad]

I promise you, I never tried to take anybody to gay pride parades.

The next Disney remake...

Disney is now getting sued by 'little people' for excluding them from appearing as the dwarves.

The chain of events went something like "Peter Dinklage decided to call it bigotry to use real little people -> Disney relents and removes real little people -> real little people sue for being excluded".

Listen to Dinklage's voice in the first minute of this.

I sometimes wonder if guys in show business get voice deepening procedures. So many of them have radio voices that they didn't have when they were younger. George Clooney and Bryan Cranston come to mind. I know voices change with age, but not that much.

Hey, I wasn’t cast either though I’m the obvious choice for the Handsome Prince. I even speak Spanish in case Rachel gets flustered and forgets her lines in English.

Calling my lawyer tomorrow.

I suspect they’ll come up short.

[jon-nyc]

They ain’t got no reason.

To sue.

If they were any other mammalian species they’d be killed at birth.
