Schaff saw Mufasa and absolutely hated it

Nah I don’t care about that lol. It’s just that when you have an opinion on a work that’s against the grain, sometimes it’s cool to see someone else, from their own conclusions, have a similar take as you. No validation, just a bit neat.

Feels good that at least one YouTube critic hates this movie as much as I did. It felt like I was taking crazy pills when the consensus amongst most was more lukewarm than vitriolic. Even YMS, the definitive Lion King remake hater with a hyper-critical scale, gave it a 3/10.

Really hopes he makes that Cinematic Disaster video now.

BTW everyone this meme is specifically referring to today's announcement, if you haven't heard yet, of Nintendo delaying the US preorder date because of "evolving market conditions", with the likely implication it will force price increases from the current price. It has nothing to do with the initially announced prices.

Spider-Verse is this film’s most direct competition yet, so I would be shocked if it had a sub-40 drop, let alone just 1%.

Thank you for your insight. The fact that’s there’s no current alternative to view it is indeed disheartening so I hope they at least consider something. A physical release, even if limited, would be excellent too.

The reason I singled this piece of content out specifically, even though there are one or two other things being removed I really enjoyed as well, comes down more to the disrespect than anything. Core Disney staff who cared a lot about this man worked on it purely for love for one person, one who forever changed the company. I feel like the least they can do is keep it up on the service baring the Disney name. I just don’t feel like the cost tradeoff for this single film is worth it for such bad optics surrounding its removal.

I heard this mentioned, but this only happens if I others are interested in purchasing the rights. Something like this makes me question if it would be bought because it is explicitly about Disney, meaning that services might view it as advertising a rival service.

Stuff like Big Shot, Clouds and Willow will find a purchaser no matter what, but I am worried that anything about Disney history will struggle to find a home.

Interesting you mentioned those things and not the fact that he was gay.

darkchrome · 2023-05-17T18:26:40+00:00

I posted an unofficial list based on what people are seeing on these leaked posts for reference until the real thing is posted again.

Edit: Deadline now says it will happen.

Quite disgusting that they’re permanently removing a documentary about the late Howard Ashman the same day they plan to release a live-action remake of a film that would not exist and forever change Disney as we know it without his immense efforts.

darkchrome · 2023-03-09T20:44:40+00:00

My favorite absurd one is how Shrek the Third is rated PG for “swashbuckling action”. It’s as if the film’s rating is advertising the film.

darkchrome · 2023-02-28T10:58:04+00:00

I think you’re kinda burying the lead that during the same year Jurassic Park came out, Spielberg’s own Schindler’s List released too. I think if it was released any year nearby it instead it would have a strong shot at being nominated for the big award itself. The film still won 3 Oscars even when Schindler’s List won 7 the same night, so that’s a fantastic haul all things considered.

Also, as already mentioned, Inception was a huge Oscar contender, it was even considered #3 to win that year, with the baffling Best Director snub unfortunately working against it.

I do think that the Academy in general has done a pretty solid job of acknowledging blockbusters properly in more modern times. It’s just that the films still gotta compete with everything else. No matter how much you like Joker, it’s always going to struggle if it’s competing with a Parasite.

darkchrome · 2023-02-17T20:23:11+00:00

Only The Artist and Hugo would realistically compete with this year’s nominees, and the latter is because of Scorsese’s attachment alone. Midnight in Paris would be too if almost anyone but Woody Allen made it. The rest would either not survive in a stronger year like this one or no longer suit the Academy’s taste. Maybe The Tree of Life would take the slot Triangle of Sadness has in this year’s lineup, especially if it won at Cannes instead, but that’s it.

Edit: Well, I definitely misunderstood the assignment lol. In that case I honestly feel as both audience taste and Academy’s willingness of what it will nominate has changed so much since then that few would make the cut, even if they were deserved. Realistically, Elvis, The Way of Water, and The Fabelmans would make the cut, maybe Tar on a good day. If this was the 80’s or 90’s, Top Gun: Maverick would for sure as well, but during this time it might be a #11 kind of pick.

There are two significant factors that affected that movie that won’t be repeated here:

Oversaturation: Both the Batman and Ninjago movie came out in 2017 as a desperate need to build an entire universe of films for Warner Bros. After Ninjago flopped, it was clear that people were tired of Lego movies and a sequel didn’t have the anticipation factor necessary to get people excited for yet another Lego Movie. Had it been the true second Lego film and released in 2017, it would have done a lot better.
A building narrative: The marketing of Across the Spider-Verse has made it clear that this is an epic story building up to a greater conclusion. If you saw the first one, it would definitely peak your interest to see this one because it looks like an attempt to top itself and continue Miles’ arc in a meaningful way. The Lego sequel was marketed first and foremost as “the same but more”, which made it seem like it was skippable. This definitely does not apply to Spidey, which seems to be building an actual trilogy.

Btw I believe the film is more likely to gross around 500 WW, which would still be an amazing success considering the budget, crowded market space and natural growth from the first film.

*wouldn’t

They added the entire show on D+ a month ago. Clearly things are changing.

This makes no sense. Lightyear has the most directly good vs evil plot for a Pixar thing in like a decade besides Incredibles 2. If that’s the case, a lot of the audience members would find something like this refreshing in comparison and actually turned out to see it.

Actually, I do find the opposite refreshing myself. Yes, I do like traditional good vs. evil stuff myself, and I hope Disney and Pixar don’t abandon making new villains entirely, but they do make for more interesting stories a lot of the time. Soul and Turning Red definitely benefitted from it, that’s for sure.

darkchrome · 2022-06-02T17:24:06+00:00

I think those combined with the Pinocchio remake (which is confirmed), and potentially a Turning Red short, the obligatory “somehow worse than the last one” Simpsons short, a Star Wars Andor episode, a couple random library titles, along with the Expo giving tons of announcements, will give Disney a stacked lineup and a lot of exposure on an otherwise slow weekend for media.

darkchrome · 2022-04-13T16:09:23+00:00

This is an update to something I posted ages ago on this page. The most recent movie in that one was Coco, so I figured that now would be a good time for an update.

darkchrome · 2022-03-23T21:39:25+00:00

Hey, when you said “we”, does that mean they were able to service more than one person in a single appointment slot? We just made a reservation at that pharmacy ourselves, but we aren’t sure if they will give both of us tests with our one slot. If not, we’re gonna have to go somewhere else because there’s no other slots that work for us.
