Disney cut an entire song from Muppet Christmas Carol. it's not a good song ("When Love Is Gone") but it has a reprise at the end that now makes no sense.

i am a ball of muppet rage.

The theatrical release cut the song and then some home video version have it and some don't. Disney+ cuts the song but they do include it as an extra.

You know what's worse than 3 months of the same dozen or so Christmas songs that have been around since biblical times is?

When some moron gets it into their head to write a new one, like Steeley Dan and the grocery store one.

does the existence of Whoville imply that there's a posher part of town called Whomville? is there, similarly, a rundown part of town called Y'all Junction?

why would whomville be posher? everyone's objectified there

Somehow my wife had never seen this so we watched it together last year and her assessment: "it was okay."

this has always been my position (although I’m a bit more fond of them than this). yes the prequels are worse but acting like there’s some marked difference in quality between them and the OT is absurd

i think it's primarly because in the OT there is acting done by characters which blends in with the greater story and in the prequels everytime the WAR scenes start getting good they cut away to some rear end in a top hat talking about his FEELINGS gently caress off i wanna see clones n droids fight it's star wars imagine if instead of showing the battle for hoth they just showed like 15 seconds of rebels and stormtroopers shooting at each other in a snowstorm then 45 minutes of awful character drama.

the fact that the prequals have resulted in an aboslutely massive amount of successful expanded universe content while the OT expanded universe stuff is some of the worst science fantasy ever to exist certainly is a fascinating phenomenon. the clone wars cartoons are some of the best serialized war fiction ever made imo

Prequel memes play on the absurdity of the dialogue of the prequel movies so it works.

there was barely an ounce of creative vision put into that trilogy that wasn't borrowed from poo poo that got turned down 50 years ago
