Re: Disney's Wish
Sorry to hear Wish is terrible, but then I wasn’t really expecting otherwise. I just don't think Jennifer Lee is the person to be running Disney… Could have done so much more for a proper 100th anniversary movie. From the start, Wish just sounded so insipid! I know I Cassandra'ed this earlier on, b...

Re: Disney's Wish
Soul, Turning Red, Lightyear, the last six MCU, Strange World, Encanto, Artemis Fowl... Despite my loyalty for getting folks back in to the theaters, I just haven't been having much luck with the Disney movies I passed on and waited for D+ instead. They tend to confirm my better judgment. (Well, oka...

Re: New Disney Streaming Service: Disney+
Oo, is "Christmas with Walt Disney" another rare 50s-60s special from the Archive, or just D+'s own thrown-together cash-in?
I dare not hope they finally dug up Walt's Peter Pan Christmas-special that never appeared on the discs like the Alice special did.

Re: Oral history for 30th anniversary of We’re Back!
We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story has a great *look* to it, but the film goes nowhere! It is, however, completely batty, random and nonsensical that it’s kind of loveable for those reasons. This was early-90s, back before Spielberg and Katzenberg got together to make more DreamWorks Lion King clones, ...

Re: WB Archive Collection: Discs On Demand!
Hahahaha…"semi-classic". Night At The Opera and Day At The Races are considered the apex of their MGMs, with (slightly) more coherent plots than even their gag-based Paramounts. So the Marxes is a must — one of their best — (Groucho gives Margaret Dumont a horse pill) Lawyer: "Isn't that a little l...

Re: Garfield
One Twitter user pointed out a rather notable point about 20's animateds: https://twitter.com/TheRealJimsYT/status/1724110710651728054 Just like Mario before, Chris Pratt's Garfield also has daddy issues. How hard was it to make a story about Garfield, Odie, and Jon? Why should anyone care about Gar...

Re: Indiana Jones And The New Disney Movies Thread
Temple of Doom involved the villain ripping out someone's heart. Everyone complained about how it shouldn't have gotten a PG rating and how it portrays Indians as savages who eat monkey brains. And about how nails-on-chalkboard annoying Kate Capshaw was compared to Karen Allen, and then made inappr...

Re: Indiana Jones And The New Disney Movies Thread
Of the many reasons given for the film's underperformance, congratulations:
I'm pretty sure you are the FIRST person on planet Earth to offer that rationalization.
(The safer theories went with "Old", "Depressing", and "No Spielberg".)

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe
One person familiar with the script permutations says the story at one point morphed into a narrative led by women and filled with life lessons. Blade was relegated to the fourth lead, a bizarre idea considering that the studio had two-time Oscar winner Ali on board. That definitely SOUNDS like a p...
