Tim Conway was fucking hilarious back when comedians were allowed to be funny.

When dwarf actors are cast in serious roles I have never not taken them seriously as actors, when they're comedians I laugh if they're funny.
It's like if Chris Farley, one of comedy's GOATs, came out back in the day and said you couldn't cast fat guys in comedies anymore.

It sounds like this adaptation will be totally unrecognisable from the original 19th century German fairy tale, which itself was inspired by Germanic mythology and folklore.
In which case, why bother? Just make a new original story set around a medieval princess. That way, Disney can do what they like with the story without anybody complaining.

I'm retarded?
Ofc gaf has to exagerate things. While it's a stupid thing, they are not removing the dwarfs or firing them or anything from what I'm reading. They are just changing the way they are portrayed. For all I care they coudl be making them heroes like the hobbits so maybe its for the good.

He is a well known shithead, it is not the first time that he speaks in woke.
We had a topic about got final season and he explained why it wasn't successful.
Spoiler alert, read the article in the toilette if you don't want to crap yourself for the laughs.

Can you blame him, imagine the abuse he or any other little dude gets when out and about from drunken arseholes and lets face it the roles within mainstream media has mainly been as comic relief and he's actively trying to change that so that they can be considered for more serious parts, i'm near 50 ffs and as bout as anti-fuck me i hate that word as you can get but i can sympathize with the guy
I mean, it would be kinda hard for him to not play a dwarf in any film he’s in. Man’s not exactly tall.

I cannot believe somebody gets paid to write things like this:
How about everyone consults with members of Polish community in the US (approx. 10 million of them) in order to avoid negative portrayal of Eastern Europeans in movies, where every Boris or Roman is a pimp or a carjacker.

To me the issue is Disney's absurd insistence on live action remakes of all their animated movies.
Live action Snow White is not something that needed to happen. Like seriously you're gonna cast 7 midgets whose qualifying characteristic for the role is that they're a midget? And you thought that'd go well, especially in today's society?
Sure, do it without the dwarves lol let's see how that goes.

When they came for the trolls, I said nothing
When they came for the goblins, I said nothing
When they came for the orcs, I said nothing
When they came for the drow, I said nothing
When they came for the dwarves, I said nothing
When they came for me, no one was left.
Good grief DnD is soooooo problematic. This anti-satanist moms from the 80s were RIGHT!

Those remakes are going to keep coming. That Lion King one, a film where the universal opinion seemed to be "yeh, the original is clearly better. This one seems kinda pointless", made $1.663 billion.

Why choose the Snow White story, then? Disney got the money and talent to make literally every film imaginable. If you can’ make it what it is and always has been, don’t. But as usual, these people want to eat their cake and have it too. It’ll be called “Snow White” so people recognize the name and want to see it, except it’ll be a very different thing and good money goes on that Snow not being white in the slightest.
If you think your story is problematic, you film another story. You don’t make the story something very different and call it the same.
Reee mods seeing this: “Oh shit, we forgot to have a dwarf summit!”

Gosh! Ray Bradbury was right all along. I'm reading his Illustrated Man, which continues foretelling the collapse of humanity, burning of books / and the ban on characters. In Martian Chronicles, it does the same. In Fahrenheit 451, we know already what it is about. I have all three books, new editions.
Disney is driven by some really demented people nowadays and from now on, who manage to reach such job positions. I blaming only those people who accept these decisions; to be clear. Not everyone there who has a job, is or has to be thrown into the same pit with the others.

I don't really get the issue he has with the movie.
They aren't really ridiculed or made fun of, specially if it's a more grounded life action version. They are miners, own a house, are ultimately welcoming and helpful to Snow White and even the comedy is mostly derived from them being defined by a single trait (Sleepy, Grumpy, etc) and not their height or proportions.
Besides, aren't they supposed to be the more mythological type of Dwarves? You know like:

From a certain perspective he is right, you can't make a film which want to be modern with the same old dwarfs who are the funny part of the story.
But unless Dinklage has already read the script, we can really know how dwarfs are portraited in the movie, considering we are in a world post GOT where a midget can portrait a serious role and you can't tell the same story over and over.

It's been a while since I've read the "original" snow white story, but Disney probably added most of the dwarven bits people think of when they hear "Snow White" like their names and associated characteristics. The other elements (mirror, huntsman, poisoned apple) I believe are from the old story and are in the public domain. So if Disney does a new version that strips away their specific copywrited traits it's really no different than when Universal did "Snow White and the Huntsman" a few years back. Are they just going to be a multi-cultural multi-gendered band of forest people? Straight up fae or somesuch?
Maybe Disney should adapt fairy tales from other cultures instead of butchering the european ones that made them so famous. How long until Moana, Coco, Encanto, or Mulan are considered cultural appropriation full of problematic stereotypical representation?
What are they gonna do with that HUGE RIDE at WDW with those problematic dwarves?
Hi-HOOOOOO, I'm literally shaking right now
