Good for her.
…still not watching the movie, but good for her!
My students said it was awful. They actually like the actress in that role, btw, but just… Everything else is awful.
I guiltily admit i do watch them as background noise years after they’ve been released to make sure they suck. They typically do, though I’ve heard The Jungle Book live remake wasn’t bad.
IMO The Little Mermaid live action remake was pretty good. They made the love interest make more sense, not just the guy going “pretty girl is pretty” and also I liked that
spoiler
it was her who killed the sea witch at the end and not the guy.
IMO that made for a more well rounded ending.
As for the others, I’ve se Beauty and The Beast and wasn’t impressed but have watched none of the others because all of them live in an uncanny valley I don’t want to visit.
At the very least, fight against the shitty misinformation and slander campaign against her.
Free Palestine & fuck the Zionists and all, but her trying to shit on the original story and endorsing a twisted & misguided feminist story is what irks me about her. Do a movie about women empowerment, no problem with that. Why ruin a classic to that end though?
Blame Disney for making her say shit like that, it was very clearly a form of marketing for the money and it wasn’t the first nor last will be the last time Disney has its live action cast members talk shit about the OG version.
Moreover, the comment wasn’t even really “shitting” on it either. People spreading that clearly only heard about it online. IIRC, she just called it outdated and that Prince Charming is weird, even if she wasn’t coached to say that somehow, she’s entitled to have opinions.
Let’s be honest here people, She’s virtue-signalling in order to trick people into watching her horrible movie.
eh, yeah, but she’s at least saying a good (yet somehow controversal) thing, so i don’t care if her alterior motive is money
I feel like Walt would approve hating on Israel.
I’ve heard it said that Walt was an antisemite, so I looked it up to confirm. According to an article in jewishpress.com the evidence that Walt was really an antisemite is weak but the MPA of the time had more things of concern… That same article goes on to equate anti-Israel with antisemitism so I doubt they’d give Walt any benefit of a doubt.
I’m not on Twitter, but I hear getting exposure to actual vile antisemitism happens quite fast.
I cannot wait for us to be past this “any criticism of Israel is antisemitism” and the US funding a genocide phase.

What makes you think we’ll ever get past this? It’s been going on since the founding of the state of Israel.
The twit was ‘and always remember, free palestine.’
Do you consider that to be hating on Israel?
Saying “free Palestine” does not equal “down with Israel and the Jews”. Wanting freedom from oppression for one group is not an endorsement of violence or oppression against another.
While that may be true, nobody saying “free Palestine” has a positive view of Israel, do they?
I don’t have a positive view of a lot of countries, especially ones that are actively murdering men, women, and children but I am not advocating for the destruction or death to the inhabitants of those countries.
You are making yet another false equivalency. “Please stop murdering people and grant them freedom from oppression” does not equate to “I wish to see you and everyone around you dead”.
down with Israel and the Jews
See, now you lost all credibility. There’s no honest reason whatsoever to add “and the Jews” to that sentence.
Israel is not “the Jews”.
What? They weren’t actually making that argument, you realize that right? I think you’re literally agreeing with them.
I will remember her name and will never watch a movie with her. Fuck terrorists and their supporters
There is no Country, they want a country and choose terrorism as their way.
They’re a country, with a flag and a government and everything. Not sure you ever knew that but there ya go.
Not sure their status matters anyway here, either.
So again, why shouldn’t any country be free?
