Got to hit all those diversity checkmarks.

And somehow the most beautiful actress in the last several years in Hollywood is playing the Evil queen, who is supposed to be jealous of 'SnowBrown.'

And most of the movie had to be reshot when the seven dwarves were supposed to be replaced with...

bruh, the fact that you even care lol

Of course I care.

I care about how the jokes the internet will make about it. The dwarves look like 2005 Van Helsing CGI.

I care about the box-office returns. Between the Mufassa prequel probably going to flop, as well as this 'SnowBrown' flopping, this will be the end of an era of Disney remaking their classic animation movies for live-action/CGI... and butchering them.

And I care about another failure Rachel Zegler to add to her resume. She's got to be out of casting couches to get all these big roles.

another failure for Rachel Zegler? her filmography is literally like five movies long & her debut movie + performance was critically acclaimed. her Hunger Games movie wasn’t a juggernaut like the original series of movies, but it was respectable enough & her performance was again praised.

Shazam? nobody even remembers that movie or that she was even in it—they only remember that sad sack zach levi’s meltdown

you just love looking for excuses to be racist & misogynistic because clearly your mother never loved you

i haven’t seen many of them yet either (only seen The Substance, Problemista, The People’s Joker, Thelma, & Love Lies Bleeding so far, but most have been on my watchlist for awhile now & i’ve recently downloaded a handful of ‘em. still a few of them that haven’t been released outside of limited runs yet though, like Nightbitch (i think that’s this weekend?) & The Brutalist (no clue when this one will drop but i’ve been hearing tons of hype for Adrien Brody’s performance)

i still need to go see Anora too <DCrying>

The Brutalist is coming out around Christmas.

Anora is great. Very, very funny with a heaping side helping of pathos. In the words of @HenryFlower: "Sean Baker does not miss"
