bobkatt013 posted:Is the new version going to be all about bootstraping like the original comic strip? I haven't read the original comics or seen the musical, but it's hilarious to me that a story about a kid, adopted by an insanely rich person, doing good is supposed to be about how you can make it on your own.

I understand that, it's just hilarious to me that people think it's a good example of self-determination. Was the original musical like that? I'm assuming they're going to subvert the idea of bootstrapping yourself from nothing in the new one, just because of the people involved. Also pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps is physically impossible, so it's mind-boggling to me that the term is used in any non-derogatory sense.

I am happy to say it properly caused him to spin in his grave.

It looks like a fairly straight forward re-telling of the original film but in a modern setting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njZ9j1WLKWM I think it looks fun, but that might be the songs I grew up listening to hoodwinking me.

I am thoroughly charmed by that cast, despite really not liking Annie and believing that the cast is the only thing that makes the original worth watching. Or maybe because of that.

Skwirl posted:Also pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps is physically impossible, so it's mind-boggling to me that the term is used in any non-derogatory sense. The reason why it sounds ridiculous is that the original quote states (totally paraphrasing here) that "raising yourself up from the level of abject poverty to that of wealth and status is as difficult as lifting oneself up by one's bootstraps". In other words, the original quote is saying that going from rags to riches is literally impossible. The way it's used now is the exact opposite of the saying's original intent.

Dark Shadows Production Budget: $150 million/Gross Worldwide: $245,527,149 Domestic: $79,727,149 Lone Ranger Production Budget: $215 million/Gross Worldwide: $260,502,115 Domestic: $89,302,115 The Tourist Production Budget: $100 million/Gross Worldwide: $278,346,189 Domestic: $67,631,157 I didn't realize the rest of the world loved Johnny Depp so much. It seems like everything that he does that isn't Pirates or Tim Burton does horribly in the US.

His reasoning was that he likes it "when he applies his style to remakes" and that he didn't like his "original films". Film students are hilarious.

Well I broke down and bought the Back to the Future 2 Durieux poster on eBay. I have to have it to match the part 1 poster! Anyway I got it for a song compared to what people were listing there's for. The seller had it marked as "used/new" instead of "Mint" so everyone was staying away from it. I talked to him and he assured me it was in perfect condition. Sure enough I got it and it was mint PLUS one of the signed versions (I don't think the Mondo purchases have even shipped yet). It's gorgeous but goddamn trying to put those posters in a frame with one person. Those things are so loving thick that, once rolled, it's nearly impossible to unroll them with just two hands without the poster wanting to fold and crease back on itself.

Yeah, you have to lay it down with some books/anything heavy for a hour or so to make it easy to frame. I have a couple Mondo prints sitting at my desk still rolled up that I know are gonna be a bitch when I finally frame em. I hope some more Disney stuff gets out there - I am hoping they do Aladdin.

The question was what popularized the trend though. There were 3 years between Michael Clayton and The Social Network. There was just one year between TSN and Thor.
