    Not only that, but it's what stories are meant to be.

    Stories exist to be retold and change and grow, and how each place, time, and individual retells them differently acts as a record of those factors.

    Disney’s ‘Snow White’ remake on pace to lose $115 million amid Rachel Zegler controversy

    I'm old enough to remember when Star Trek The Motion Picture was in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most expensive movie at $55 million dollars. It's crazy how high these Hollywood budgets have gotten.

    Miscellaneous is usually code for "creative" accounting.

    I've never been one to care how a celebrity votes(their opinion is no more important than anyone else), but disparaging 77 million people for how they voted is a pretty stupid move if you make a living from people paying to watch you. In today's climate, where different opinions are taken as very personal, going that extra step pretty much makes you the enemy for life.

    Oops.

    Yeah, clearly the issue is Zegler's politics, rather than Gadot's. Or that it was just a shit movie. :dayton:

    @T.R I'm curious if you know for sure if the author intended Snow White to be metaphorically "white as snow" or literally "white as snow," and your basis for this knowledge.

    I'd say its many things, but having your lead actress disparage half the country along with the original movie that the remake is based on didn't help matters.

    You're never going to hear our lapdog mainstream media go "Gal Gadot is a filthy Zionist who wants Palestinian children blown to bits!! :shakefist:".

    Of course you’re not going to hear that. When are you going to learn that the MSM is not about actual journalism, but propaganda for the government and are propped up by big pharma and the military industrial complex?

    23%. That's not even close to half. And maybe that 23% deserves derision.

    “Mickey Mouse is the most miserable idea ever revealed….Healthy emotions tell every independent young man and every honorable youth that the dirty and filth-covered vermin, the greatest bacteria carrier in the animal kingdom, cannot be the ideal type of animal….Away with Jewish brutalization of the people! Down with Mickey Mouse! Wear the Swastika Cross!”
    -Real WWII Nazi propaganda.

    Hmm, Nazis have always been diabolically obsessed with American popular culture, and Disney in particular.

    They have more credibility than CNN who lost a lawsuit to vet they tried to smear because he is a Trump supporter.

    And CNN would therefore have more credibility than Fox, which admitted in court they weren't accurate news.

    You literally can't argue with MAGA. Their version of reality--one in which Trump is a Man of the People and Fox News is not a rancid right-wing propaganda arm--can never be challenged. They have no respect for facts or statistics; it's vibes all the way down with them. @Steal Your Face is exceptionally stupid, even for MAGA, but in that movement stupidity is a a positive attribute.
