    Those are pretty great, but we know Disney isn't throwing all their best support into those because the nostalgia grabs can all clear $1 bil+ with a fraction of the effort.

    What do you think art is? Art is human attempting to explain life in a format intended to entertain - entertain ALL people, not just straight white christians.

    And the behavior I'm describing isn't creating entertainment. It's piggybacking on someone else's creation because the depth of their own artistic talent is "what if we repackage the exact same thing, but with a different skin pigment?"

    I'm not saying anything these days is good art. But, art is essential to humans and subject to individual as to what is good and what is bad.

    That's not what you said. I mentioned "artists" and you went off on some tangent about your assumption of how artists behave.

    Many, many people like Picasso. I don't like his art at all. I prefer a Monet or ... more modern Ty Wilson. I like pictures that look like pictures. I like science fiction and fantasy stories, but some people like drama and romcoms. People are different. doesn't make an artist a hack.

    I love how everyone is a nazi if they don't see checking diversity boxes as automatic evidence of quality entertainment.

    :dayton:

    No, you can have all the diversity you want, but that can't be the sole reason for the project or it's gonna get shit on.

    I'm not going to go back and quote every time I've praised a show with "diversity" in it. That just rewards you with attention, and you'll just pretend it doesn't count anyway. Either everything is stunning and brave, or I am an -istaphobigot.

    I didn't take you for such a Disney aficionado, which remakes have you watched lately that you didn't think met the quality bar?

    Never mind about Snow White, looks like Rachel Ziegler will be doing the lead:

    She's only one-fourth Latina, so still plenty white enough for most of the CHUDs :diacanu:

    I still wonder why we need another white version if we are rebooting shit. I have seen the white version, it is still there. I can watch it again. It is like the original dubs of eva and akira. I like the originals better and I can watch them again and again.

    The only problem with the house of feckstick greedy rodent is they try and put their shit back in the vault for years so you miss it. That is why I say if it is in the vault pirate the fuck away. especially if it is hidden in the vault because they want to whitewash their history of racist content and pretend they have always been woke.

    Toss some new woke shit in there. Maybe I will want to watch the reboot to see. There is always the old version, but you just need to save your digital copy of it in case someone else's service that you do not own decides they do not want to be the ones offering some racist ass bullshit. This is america, if you want to have racist ass flags and images, then you do it on your property. We do not have to put your racist or prejudiced shit on our property or business because you feel your freedom of speech is stifled because I do not promote your shit in my business or home.

    If UA or the boy wants to come to my house with their confederate love they can get real personal with my machete. However, on WF both them and I are here under the privilege and permission of the site owner and mods. If I do not like it I can go away. If I do not want to be bothered with Disney because they are not prejudiced enough, or because they are too prejudiced for me, I do not buy their shit unless forced to be a global conglomerate of television which requires that I have their channel because I want fucking high speed internet and happen to live in a neighborhood that made a contract with them to force me to have cable TV as part of my fees. I have more fucking cable boxes than I have rooms in my damned condo FFS.

    LOL, this is hilarious.

    DeSantis is whining about the King Charles III language being slipped in ‘last minute’ but it was actually published as a legal notice in the Orlando Sentinel TWICE back in Jan in accordance of state law.

    Oops.

    Maybe there should be someone in Tallahassee who’s job it is to review legal notices.

    Mr. Libertarian is upset that a land owner gets to decide how tall to build buildings on his own land and not a state appointed board.

    Pretty sure.
    "Song Of The South" was their rarest thing, and even that's up with a racism warning last time I heard.

    That will happen with the next WB crossover, where Bugs shows Donald how to crossdress.

    But that will also be contingent on AI properly reproducing Mel Blanc's voice.

    Ya know, if you actually bothered to read up on issues before you started clapping your cheeks you wouldn’t look like such an idiot all the time.

    Reedy Creek only had special privileges because it was a special jurisdiction. It had no more rights or privileges than any other county level government in the state it is just that the entire area was owned by one corporation and everyone living there worked for it.

    Even someone as dense as you has to acknowledge that that is a pretty unique setup so it did require unique legislation.

    Unlike you I have been a vocal supporter of property rights and against over prescriptive zoning for a decade and a half.

    However I do understand the concept of adverse impacts.

    For example if I were to build a skyscraper on my property it could impact my neighbors’ views.

    But what if all my neighbors were me?

    Or if I built a hotel it might put a strain on the municipal water system which everyone else would have to pay to expand.

    But what if I owned the municipal water system and I was everyone else?

    Or if I built really tall buildings the fire department might have to buy new extra tall ladder trucks which everyone in the fire district had to pay for.

    But what if I owned the fire department and I was everyone else in the fire district?

    See where I am going here Skippy?

    Or do you need a few more examples?

    Basically in order to reap the windfall tax revenues from Disney World the Florida Leg told Disney that as long as they took care of their shit (like literally, no dumping waste, mitigating other impacts same as other towns, cities, counties, etc, etc) they could have the same powers as other jurisdictions in the state even though they were just one landowner.

    And Reedy Creek was more than doing that. In fact that is why his first plan to punish Disney by dissolving it failed. When they looked at the books if it just went under county control then it would have cost the taxpayers of Orange County TENS OF MILLIONS of dollars a year to provide the services Disney was. IIRC the median property owner would have had to $188 extra a year in property tax just so DeSantis could boost his popularity for a presidential run.

    This did not go over well with the people of Orange County or Florida as a whole so he had to switch to just taking over the board itself.

    But he was too stupid and got his ass handed to him and before he could do so the board passed pretty much open zoning regulations as long as there were proper mitigations.

    Meaning the State couldn’t just arbitrarily stop Disney from using their land as they saw fit for no other reason than that they didn’t toe the government line.

    From your Mr. Libertarian perspective what is wrong with that?
