    I still don't understand how little people is not offensive, which is what I guess modern woke dwarfs want to call themselves now lol - that Disney remake is going to bomb just like the last 15 remakes have had - Eisner even talking about selling the whole company they just can't handle it. They have no idea they are their own worst enemy.

    What’s the chances of this Snow White and the 7 magical diverse gender non conforming vertically challenged creatures being anything but a complete disaster?

    It may be a disaster, but they are a private company and they can make whatever movie they want to make. If a movie doesn’t look appealing to me I don’t go see it. I am not the target audience for every movie made, and that doesn’t bother me in the least.

    Yeah they can self-destruct all they want so much so the actual CEO is talking about selling the company .. it’s interesting to watch what once was a company that didn’t make bad decisions continue to do foolish things because of the woke culture

    I have no problems with a company trying to be more inclusive. I don’t fear gay or trans people, and I don’t care if Disney wants to cast people of color in leading roles in movies. I think being more inclusive is probably a good thing overall. Hopefully, people can can learn to be more accepting of each other and all this woke vs anti-woke nonsense can go away.

    He has a point, esp about Dinklage not being able to be the bigger man lol.

    The only nitpick is that i havent watched any of the remakes so it has nothing to do with me other than some weak attachment to the childhood cartoons.

    I stopped judging movies before I have seen them after The Dark Tower. I knew it was going to suck because they cast Idris Elba as Roland. They can't cast a black guy as Roland!!! There was too much racial tension in the book with him and Detta. Roland had to be a white guy because of this. Guess what? Detta wasn't even in the movie. Had I not read the books I would have no clue Roland was supposed to be a white guy. Idris Elba is a great actor. Who gives a damn about the new Snow White? Why does it matter? People can't seem to disconnect from the source material and judge a movie on its own mertis. It may suck. It may be the worst movie ever made, but it damn sure won't because of the casting unless they just suck as actors.

    Disney is publicly traded company
    If investors leave and their stocks tank
    They have to do something drastic

    You know cancel a whole bunch of movies or fire like half of ESPN ..(this happened)
    Oh Bob Iger is back cause they fired Chapek
    Guess why they fired him?

    this woke generation is so soft
    Nothing in that song compares to cube and Dre
    Gangster rap

    (Barrel one) touches your mother****in' flesh
    (Barrel two) touches your ****in' heart out your chest
    You see, I'm quick to let the hammer go click
    On my TEC-9, so if you try to wreck mine
    Fool, it's your bad time
    Feel the blast of the chocolate bomber
    Infrared aimed at your head like your name was Sarah Connor

    It’s a song…. nothing more and nothing less…. I don’t even think Jason Aldean (who didn’t even write the song) ever intended it to be remotely racist…. But now, after it’s boycotted, it will only add more fire to the idea that the radical left is out to get him.

    Is Disney World really empty? Because I want to go there with my kids in a couple of weeks.

    I was just looking at booking at private VIP tour. Can't be bothered to stand in line in the heat.
