Can't you just watch the porn parody like every normal dude?

😅

After all our exchanges and my posts you're still considering there's any resemblance of normalcy left in me?

Thank you 🙌

Kidding aside. I want to watch it for it's subtext.



Also, on second thought; what's so normal about watching midget porn?

No one is really normal in this world.

The 7 dwarves just looks like someone told a group of Antifa the proudboys would be on set and they showed up to protest..
this could end up being a fun movie.

I came back to say I hate that I can't really be sure if it was really fake and I keep thinking about it. Only to find that actually, we already found out days ago. Are you kidding me.

My other problem with this movie is that while the girl playing Snow White is an attractive girl.. I'm supposed to find her more attractive than The evil Queen played by Gal Gadot? That's some really bad casting (the casting of Gal.. finding someone hotter than her is not going to be easy)

Who knows if that aspect will even be a part of this. This is updated for "modern audiences." Maybe the evil queen will just be a misunderstood girl boss held back the patriarchy and Snow "White" and her must team up to take down the awful men.

Dinklage kinda preemptively attacked Disney for the notion of casting dwarves in this so they went to avoid it, then people get mad at Disney for not casting dwarves.

Don't think there was any way escaping Twitter controversy with this one.

This story is so funny. I am not sure I have ever seen this before. Like, pics from a production come out that are so hilariously and obviously bad that the studio *running the production* tries to disavow them.

Sure there is.

Ignore Dinklage.

They could go on a positive PR blitz with other dwarf actors talking about how these roles keep them working and how rare it is for a dwarf actor to semi break out of dwarf roles like Dinklage has a few times. Or just do the perspective photography thing with normal actors. Hell, just have 2D animated dwarves mixed with a live action Snow White, that shit ALWAYS works and no worry about creepy CG versions!

But really, just ignore the fool.

Dwarf actor calling out Peter Dinklage pulling up the ladder for those after him.

LOL. Dont you love it when different groups argue with one another when they're supposed to be banded together as a united front? Well, that's what happens when one segment of that giant group has a power trip and tries to take over. And let's face it, out of all the social media cancel culture and progressives, I dont get the sense the dwarf community gets any attention at all. Only thing I've heard is Peter Dinklage speaking out like he's the ruler of all small people.

Btw, the dwarf guy is 100% right. In a role like that, it's not about who can be the best actor like two similar sized dudes going after a traditional part. May the best actor for the budget win. But he has enough common sense bringing up someone like him isnt suited for a 6 ft 4 beefy guy part. And everyone knows that too. But for specialized parts like elves, dwarves and any little person role, just hire actors who have the talent to do the part at the needed size too within budget.

But hey, if the director wants to take the film into a different direction, then so be it.

You saying that everyone looks like a giant from a dwarves perspective?

I mean, they just need to find a chick with an actual breast or ass, how hard it can be?

I remember when there were jokes like "Why dwarves must be always short? It is discrimination and using stereotypes". And now, voila.

The guy on the right isn’t too smart. Not sure why he agreed to go on that show. Lol. Of course any good actor gay man can get way more roles, and play it straight or gay. There are countless examples going back to the 60’s….. but a person thats vertically challenged can not just get any role.

In a nutshell, most people are self serving. Especially politically motivated people. They might try painting a picture of the greater good but really it’s about them and them only.

Sometimes you got to look at the greater good of anyone involved. And for something like acting parts for dwarf actors, it’s such a niche part of society and jobs, just let them have it. As long as the quality of work and budgets work out, no need to ruffle feathers going against the grain with a political slant adjusting it. It’s not about a pity plea or anything. But if something works (It seems pretty plausible and smooth sailing to me to hire dwarf actors looking for work for dwarf parts), then just continue it.

I love the old Disney, when me and my wife have our first child I'm gonna use them as an excuse to re-watch all the old classics. The current stuff though...nah we good.
Glorious times when Disney, Nintendo and Capcom were at the top of their game and combo'd up. It was like you could trust the machinations of the system to work and even buy a game blind for the IP and it might actually be good. LOL imagine

Most movies these days look like that when you take away the CGI, make-up, and post-production touch ups. You'd be amazed by how cheap costumes and sets actually look without all the modern technology applied to it. There is a reason that when you go back to the 80's and beyond you look at "big budget" films looking goofy and fake outside of practical effects. They just didn't have the tech to touch it up in the moment. If you took out all the movie magic out of modern films most of them would look like cheap local productions because all the money is in the CGI and special effects.


Which sucks because you used to have older films that looked great because they put in the effort, but those days are mostly long gone outside of people like Nolan.
The reason movies look like they do is mainly because they are shot on film or equivalent digital format (speciffic framerates and shutter speeds), they use custom lighting and filters for every single shot, they use creative angles and shallow depth of field. It has nothing to do with CGI and other elements.
As bad as the actual scripts and acting may be in some Hollywood movies these days, they are still top tier in terms of the film look.

Obviously. Who the fuck is Dinklage to set whatever standards anyone should abide for. If he dislikes it, he should do what anyone who dislikes something can do, not consume it.

I moved forward and there's a guy saying gay actors are not being employed by hollywood (lol) and that's why gay characters should only be played by gay people.

I dunno, there is definitely something lost in the mix with the move to digital. I don't need that super rich technicolor feel of the 50-60's but digital allows too much use of natural lighting leading to murky scenes and the small, lighter cameras give way to that shaky cam nonsense which fortunately seems to be dying out a little. I even think that some film grain and stutter gives a film the slightly surreal quality it needs compared to a razor sharp HFR film image. And this is without the excessive use of lens flare and light bloom added in digitally....ahem J.J. Abrams...

But CG DEFINITELY causes problems when it isn't used as a 1:1 replacement of stunt and film work. If the "camera" zooms around through digital peoples legs, through digital walls, and catches movement in ways a real camera team can't it screws with our perception of the event and makes it feel fake. Now with drones I expect some wild shots but you can tell when a master director (like Cameron) stages his digital stuff to mimic what would be a brutal real stunt versus the guys just playing with the CG like it was a video game. Naturally the Cruise missile does it best by having actors experiencing real world wind/g-forces/tumbling and then adds digital to hide the safety gear versus doing it all with virtual dolls.

Cgi is best used in situations that involve static images or things move slow and not too crazy. If someone wants to do cgi to make great looking alien rocks and space colonies in orbit with metal construction and neon lights it’ll probably be pretty good and create a good atmosphere.

If someone did a terminator movie with a similar grounded look as the old movies but used cgi to make ultra realistic looking robots that moved clunky it would be better. But what do you get instead?

cgi amped up into crazy flowing sky battles with zipping and zooming spaceships that defy physics and cgi spider terminators zapping people at light speed. It resembles a video game more than a believable world. That scene in dark fate of rows or terminators coming out of the ocean looked terrible. Way too techie and gamey looking.

Are they, though?
How well did the black mermaid do, at the box office?
(Doesn't include Dial of Destiny)


The company's also 49 Billion in debt.

Wow. I never kept track of Disney subs but knew enough it was huge. But I didn't know they are already trending down in subs. Losing sub count two quarters in a row is not a good sign. Its so new they should still be in ramp up mode. The service isnt even 4 years old.

Really? Gal Gadot is going to be the queen? That mirror must be pretty dumb if he finds snow white to be prettier then the queen. This is a fail right here.
