His argument comes down to the idea that what the meat industry does is so bad that anyone who eats animal products shouldn't have a problem with it. Which if it was an extremely militant argument for veganism would be weird, but at least understandable. YMS is not a vegan.

So one time he far overstated the importance of Citizen Kane by saying it invented cinematic structure, when instead it's famous for inventing a lot of cinematic language. Therefore, anything he ever said about anything is invalid.

Yep. And also

and

are not the same thing.

I think I remember hearing something about it, but I assumed either it was just a rumour or maybe it came from some sort of edgy joke he'd made that people were overreacting to. I had no idea he’d admitted to it.

I think I confused Ralph the Movie Maker for doing it, but helpfully I never watch either of them.

Nah, it's bad in the same way most of the live action disney renaissance movies are (Mulan is extra bad in exciting new ways). If you haven't seen one then sure, go ahead, you may like it. But if you have already seen something like the new beauty and the beast and disliked it then the little mermaid has more or less the same issues.

spoiler alert: the movie is yet another creatively bankrupt nostalgia cash grab aimed at depressed white millennials who can’t emotionally cope with the fact that their childhood movies had problematic elements in them. but let’s all give Disney a big round of applause for having the bravery to cast a black woman in a movie in 20-loving-23. truly a culturally important moment this is

Someone earlier in the thread mentioned that he canned the puppet because it was a pain in the rear end to shoot.

But I guess if he's doing on-location stuff in Vegas, then he probably has a bit more budget to work with these days.

Edit: I wonder if he'll do an AI video. Although, deep-learning models are a bit less of a gift than NFTs, Web 3.0, and Penny Stocks.

Cool. Tell a person of colour that representation doesn’t apparently matter.

Meanwhile, I got to watch someone that looks like me get hounded off social media and have their role in a 2.5-hour film get whittled down to around 90 seconds, often standing behind a loving hobbit because the people making the film were a bunch of cowards. Oh, and every time someone that looks like me gets cast in a mainstream film, a bunch of loving white nerds having to Kramer into the discussion and poo poo all over it because it doesn’t pass their purity test get grating at all.

I've seen the clip of Under the Sea and it looks like poo poo, the Scuttle song is poo poo, Ursula looks like poo poo, everything about it is bad just like all the other live action adaptions.

These lovely live action remakes make a billion dollars so they're never going away but I hate them. They're gonna make a live action version of Lilo and Stitch for fucks sake, that should be a war crime.

Hi, another person of color here. I simply think we shouldn’t rely on loving Disney to give us half-assed representation when there’s plenty of media out there that does it far better.

No one in this thread is saying anything like this at all, they are just saying that you don't have to watch complete trash just because the stupidest people on the planet are riled up about it.

One of the earliest comments regarding our stupid film culture war that I can remember was a black guy saying he hated that he had to go buy a ticket to Red Tails but that he felt obligated so that it would make its money back and maybe clear the way for a movie with a black cast that wasn’t total garbage.

One of the worst things internet culture wars do is make us participate in stupid fights and do stupid things because if we don't, the bad guys will win. It's stressful, you can't ever win, and anyone who points out how dumb it is is now your enemy instead of someone going "this is stupid you know"

It doesn't help that Disney does the diversity thing as part of the running down their checklist of "improving" the movies by fixating on awkwardly patching over CinemaSins plot holes and shallow feminist listicle dings to the point that it undermines the messages of the movie and also very, very carefully avoiding anything too explicitly brushing up against LGBTQIA+ content or characters.

Like The Lion King drew heat for how the main POC in the voice cast were the three bumbling comedy villain sidekick hyenas. It led to the the hyenas being coded as an innately stupid racial minority who were chased out of the pridelands by the dominant lions, forced to live in a lovely rocky waste, and easily tricked and led around by the conniving evil lion. Problematic!

So how do we fix that? Hmm what if we justify that they can't rule by saying they're unable to control their innate destructive urge. They will never stop consuming! Oh and cut the comedy side bits that end up humanizing them at all. Oh and make it so the only main hyena is the female one to show we have a powerful lady in charge! There, we've solved all the problematic racial implications of the hyenas.... except it actually make it worse because the minority-coding is still there but now they're explicitly assigned an Always Chaotic Evil alignment and :biotruths: about why they're unfit to rise above their lot in life.

Oh and we have to remove every bit of campy charm from Scar because people noticed how all our villains are queer coded (yes!) and it's easier to just remove that than self-reflect at all.

At least Pinocchio is so-loving-bad-it's-funny. TLM is aggressively meh. It's truly remarkable that they somehow managed to suck all the charm away from the original. Impressive stuff.
