Woke Disney does it again

[Cypress]

Hobbits were portrayed by full-size people over 20 years ago in the Lord of the Rings. I fail to see the reason for a conniption now.

Besides, so what? This is a business decision. I'm against dictating to people on what movies they are allowed to make and what actors they can use.

The dwarfs in the 1937 film were mythical creatures.

One of the actors in the live action reboot does have the dwarfism disability.

Exactly how many people with dwarfism does the law require Disney hire?

Snow White is supposedly extremely popular in Latin America, it's a decent capitalist decision to cast a popular actress of Hispanic descent to play snow White

IMO, this is all manufactured butt hurt on the part of White Nationalists who have turned "woke" into this century's Red Scare.

I agree.

You ever consider that it might just be a shitty movie?

Have you seen it before commenting about it? Has any of your White Nationalist friends on this and the other thread seen it? Tink was complaining about before the movie even debuted. LOL

Sure, it could be a shitty movie, but the comments from the White Nationalists was a wide-ranging action to crash the movie before it ever got off the ground.

As it is, the ratings are good: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5971474/

Are you also upset the formerly male seagull Scuttle is now played by an Asian female, Awkwafina?

Says the gun banners. Gun banners believe all rights are unalienable except for self-defense. Then they require Americans to show a "need".

Thank you for admitting that 50,000 suicides and 40,000 auto deaths are acceptable to you.

Barrel strokers believe the only method of self defense is a gun.

And no, pally, no right is unalienable. They all have limitations. So, you’re wrong again.

The last sentence? Hogwash and a lie.

I'm sure the elite will be fine with their private security guards carrying firearms in public. That is the 2 tier socialist leftwing system.


You want to take away peoples' right to an AR15, as opposed to handguns, and you can not support your reason with statistics, Cracka.

Tell me what percentage of murders are committed with AR15s so I can address the facts.

Why are you so scared to tell the truth? What are you hiding?

I’m sure the elite will. Big fucking deal. And irrelevant.

We’ve already determined that more than hundreds of deaths are acceptable for you. So, how many thousands, then?

Me? No firearm deaths are acceptable. ZERO. And a good many are preventable. Yet, you are an advocate of those deaths.

Sad motherfucker

Only if you believe the stock won't go back up.

you mentioned the volume of stock as the reason to hold (sunken cost fallacy), not a belief it has good fundamentals and will improve.

 

[QP!]

that is called the sunken cost fallacy

Only if you believe the stock won't go back up.

Shhhh.

Don't educate Tinker on investing. let her be as stupid in that as she is in every thing else.

I started to address her on her belief 'she has too much sunk to sell it' but then realized i do not want to help her.

She also believes, that as a long term investor in the stock the dividends they paid were of little value and not worth much in a long term strategy.

FLOL, at someone who invests thinking that.

Why do any of you care? I have a big gripe with Disney myself since they somehow made Star Wars suck. I'm not on here making discussions just to complain about it though.

Practically nobody on this board has seen the 1937 film during the 21st century. And if they saw it when they were seven years old it's only a dim memory.

A "beloved classic" is something you watch with your kids, grandkids, and revisit periodically over the years.

The MAGAs crying crocodile tears over their 'beloved classic' have either never actually seen the 1937 film, or at best it's just a dim memory from early childhood.

The moral of the story is just that servile MAGAs got ordered by Fox to act angry and upset about this

No, there are other methods, but a gun is a good option.

You think the right of self-defense is NOT unalienable but you believe the right to drive your own personal vehicle is unalienable? LOL

Disagreed. Results count.

Seriously, if you don't want a movie about a snow white girl hanging out with seven adult little people in a wilderness setting, then don't remake Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Make it vanish from the world like the movie Song of the South was made to vanish from the world (not wrong there BTW, as Song of the South was pretty darned racist).

You'd imagine that would abundantly obvious but sadly not to the brain-dead here.

You're so full of shit, this was made in 1990!

None of it is traditional.

If Snow White is popular in South America it's not because there was an hispanic actress or the lack of dwarves.

And why do you consider dwarfism a disabilty?

UTOPIA is more important than you are....understand that far.

This is the bullshit faced by an English mother who wanted to know the content of her daughter's sex lessons.

All I wanted to know was what my daughters were learning in sex education. Two years and one court case later, I’ve been branded a bigot... and parents still aren’t being told

Jesus, dude, your comprehension skills just suck major league.

I never said a word about any “right to drive”. What the fuck man? Read what I write. It’s damn straightforward.

You are Still hiding the percentages, Coward.

Democrats are pro crime.

You only want the criminals and the elite to have guns. Fuck the middle class and the minorities.

Dance, domer, dance. Like the Trumpers, you are hanging yourself by your own petard.

You have no problem with 50,000 suicides.....well, at least the 25,000 that don't use guns. LOL.....and you have no problem with 40,000 vehicular deaths, a third of them alcohol related and more than a few just plain stupidity. You want to punish millions of Americans by taking their firearms because of a few gangbangers, drug addicts and a shit load of suicides. How can that possibly be faithful to American ideals?

How many deaths are acceptable to you? Hundreds? Thousands? More? Less? Go ahead, Rambutt, give us a number. Unless you’re afraid, that is.

No need for me to read Heller. I have all the guns I need. LOL

Your “40,000+” gun violence numbers are about 2/3s suicides. Almost all of those are with a handgun and a single shot. Do you really think banning ARs will drop those numbers much?

BTW, you can order a single shot musket pistol for suicide through the mail but most people just opt for a necktie and a door jam like Robin Williams.

Doesn’t matter whether they are suicides or not. They are gun deaths. Suicide is often an event of opportunity. Proximity of guns make them easier and with greater finality.

Don’t try that bullshit of equating guns and vehicles. It doesn’t wash.

Modern society grinds to a standstill without vehicles. They are critical to the function of our society.

Guns are not. Completely optional. Modern societies do quite well in their absence.

I’d like to see the suicide rate to zero, just like any gun-related death.

The original versions still exist for those who enjoy them.

They're trying to sell downloads [or whatever they sell these days] to a new demographic.

It's about money, not culture.

From what I can see,

American culture has turned to shit with or without Disney's help.

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

Virtually nobody on this board has watched the 1937 film during the 21st century, and those of us who might have seen it when we were 8 years old only have dim memories of it.

This isn't about any poutrage over "messing" with a classic. MAGAs are just parroting what Fox ordered them to get upset about.

My parrots asked me to inform you that they agree (as do I), but would prefer that you use the word "aping" rather than "parroting." lol
