I know a brilliant female engineer who loves Adam Sandler films. The new ones.

Being brilliant or a woman isn't going to save you from being an engineer.

I mean, they keep turning a profit somehow, IIRC (except Pixels), so clearly somebody out there likes him

I contend that there is no medium less enjoyable than a bad comedy.

Films with depressing premises, like that one about the children's clown in the Holocaust?

Dude, I could at least laugh about how terrible or poorly executed(!) an idea that is. Ain't no laughing at Pixels.

Unintentional comedy is almost always more sufferable than insufferable comedy.

I know it'd get poo poo all over for bad female role model shenanigans, but a story about a dude who pursues a princess who's just a complete rear end in a top hat would be funny as hell.

But she's gorgeous!
She's an rear end in a top hat.
But she's rich!
She's an rear end in a top hat.
?!?!?

She wouldn't even be the villain, just a Kuzco-grade bitch. Maybe she's so godawful that not even the villain can put up with her and the hero and villain form a romantic bond over that poo poo.

Road to El Dorado isn't too far off from this. Only everyone is an rear end in a top hat. Except the chief.

Depends. Bad comedies that are bad for all the wrong reasons are amazing. It isn't a movie but a game but Illbleed would only be half as funny if its comedy worked as intended.

It's a subpar dress and I'm baffled someone could write so much about it being just... blah. I understand going into detail on the immaculate precision on the petticoats in Gone With the Wind or the lovingly hand-stitched miniature costuming in Kubo (and how the fabrics correlate with the time period, class and personality of each characters), but there's no real story with Belle's dress. It just kinda blandly sucks. It's the Delgo of dresses, not the Foodfight.

But I feel the same way about all the live-action Disney dress stuff. They're sparkly and poofy and... I guess pretty cheap-looking? Oh, costume jewelry! They remind me of really gaudy costume jewelry.

they used craft glue and glitter

I saw Beauty and the Beast last night. Overall, I liked it, real solid 7/10. The original is my favourite Disney movie and I tried hard not to compare them too much (which is hard when they reuse the songs and whatnot) but I had a good time. Some REAL bad choices and dialogue here and there, Cogsworth is completely diminished, and why is Ewan Macgegor doing a bad French accent? Also not sure Emma Watson was the best Belle. Beast was great, and there were some touching new moments between. Also, there's a BRUTAL new scene at the end. drat.

Gaston in this version is a true villain. In the original, he's a goddamn hero. Gaston forever.

He really isn't that gay! It's nuts how that's been blown up by people.

OK the brutal scene is when Beast dies. In this version all the servants are turned into antiques forever so you have this scene where they're all panicking as they're slowly changed in furniture. You have the loving dog crying and keeling over. You have Mrs Potts going crazy, panicking where Chip is as she dies. Cogsworth and Lumiere saying goodbye. It's incredibly emotional and, just... wow. You really have to see it to appreciate it. It's a great scene.

Whoa what?

This is the only thing that has gotten me at all interested in this movie that I've otherwise hated everything I've seen of. And it's the ending so still no reason to see it :v:
