MadyGirl1987

I'm glad. Just watched it on Disney+ and it was a cute, beautifully animated movie that you could tell a lot of heart went into.

Good for her, but I wish she wouldn’t have gone through with the wedding. That should have been proof Ross wasn’t over Rachel, assuming she knew their history between each other. It’s been a while since I rewatched, so I’m not sure what she knew about their relationship. Either way, having your fiancé say someone else’s name at the alter would at the very least be cause to take them off to the side and see what was going on.

I think it would be more realistic and acceptable if she asked Ross to not be alone with Rachel, but yeah, it is unrealistic to ask him to never see him again.

I feel the same way about Ross on Friends with Carol and Susan. They really treat him poorly, basically as a sperm donor.

I will never not love Hugh Lauries take on the matter... FWIW; I think Rachel was wrong to go with the intent of telling Ross how she feels, even if she never did. Intent means alot, and what good would be done by telling a guy on his wedding day that you love him? Just another reason I hated Ross and Rachel together; they always seemed to only ever want to be together when the other was with someone else and were extremely toxic and posessive towards other partners the other had(i.e. Julie).

In a mood for a stupid slasher flick so I’m rewatching Prom Night 2008. I know slasher flicks aren’t know for having the he smartest characters, but there’s a hotel maid who is so stupid that if she wasn’t killed by the murderer, I would hope she was fired. A group of friends are staying at a hotel where their prom is being held. One is being stalked by the murderer who is obsessed with her. He follows them to their floor and sees what room. Then, as the housekeeper passes, he says his room key doesn’t work. She tries the key he has and when it doesn’t work does she say, “Oh you’ll have to go down and have them make you a new one.” She just lets him in with her master key and says he can have a new key brought up. He then gets her in the room by asking for more towels, kills her and steals the master key. I’m just sitting here thinking that any hotel worker who did that in real life would be fired. Even in 2008, you would have to show ID before being let into a hotel room you were locked out of…

I was just thinking how 2019's Pet Sematary remake could have been better. If they hadn't spoiled in the trailers and marketing that the daughter dies instead of the son, like in the book and original film. They even do a fake-out where it looks like the son is going to be killed. Imagine it; you're watching it, presumably knowing the boy dies in the book and original movie. They have the fake-out and you're taking by surprise. Then comes the reveal that it's the girl who dies. What a shocking moment that could have been! For what it's worth, I also feel the same about the Hulk being in Thor: Ragnarok. It would have been amazing to be sitting there in the theater and all of a sudden the Hulk comes out! Although that one is more understandable to me due to how much behind the scenes work goes into the Hulk, and how it would have probably been difficult to keep under wraps.

That’s true! I forgot about that. That combined with no trailers yet really speaks to some kind of drama going on behind the scenes of this film.

It really is. Not to sound all conspiratorial, but I wonder if WB is trying to sink this. There were 2 DC movies this summer, there should have been a trailer for DC's next movie coming out in a few months before them. Even I, who is not in marketing, know that's a no-brainier. The fact that they aren't even marketing the film to people seeing DC films in theaters speaks volumes, IMO.

Unless you are some big city career person, especially a woman, who needs some small town, down home wisdom about slowing down and appreciating life, usually done if you're a woman by staring a romance with a rugged local man...

This. And the Once Upon A Time TV series had many, MANY flaws but nobody ever complained about Ginnifer Godwin’s Snow White being a badass bandit princess. True, but I would argue the show did Snow a disservice by sidelining her in favor of the creators' darling, Regina. To the extent we were actually supposed to blame a preteen/teenaged Snow for Regina's boyfriend being killed by Regina's mom... I will admit I cringed when I saw Zigler's comments, because it came across a bit as putting down the original to prop up the remakes, which I feel happens for the Disney princess remakes a lot(i.e. the remake is taking modern sensibilities about women, romance and sexuality into account so it's "fixing" the original) but I hate how it seems people are piling on.

Right? Fool me once...

It's been a while since I've seen the movie or read the book, but I think it was that he was unhappy where his life had led and looked for fulfilment elsewhere?

I really enjoyed the Haunted Mansion movie. What does it say about me when the whole internet seems to be talking about Barbie and Oppenheimer that this is the movie I was looking forward to this month? While I agree people hate on things without giving them a chance, I get why people hate on the remakes. After seeing a couple I pretty much avoid them. I let my guard down with Pinocchio last year. Was bored one day and thought, how bad can it be? It was bad. I think the difference with this is they aren't trying to fix something that wasn't broke, which is how I feel about the remakes as a whole. Find new, interesting stories to tell. There is a whole world of mythology and fairytales they could use! Why not fairy tales from outside Europe? Folklore from Asia, Africa or indigenous Americans? Live action or animated. This film, however, is different, since the first film was such a letdown for fans of the ride and the concept had such potential. And they did it well! They do a great job of capturing both the spooky and fun aspects of the ride(they call them "grim grinning ghosts" after all) and it has so many references and call backs to things from the ride without hitting you over the head with it. Some fun deep cuts from Haunted Mansion History;

Just read "Are You There God, It's Me Margaret." Her mom's parents were piece of work anti-semites, but I also hated how her parents handled religion. She was obviously looking for a greater community connection and while they said she can pick whatever faith they could have really helped her in her spiritual journey by imparting the beliefs of the traditions they grew up in and being more open to her exploring the traditional beliefs of both sides of her family, instead of questioning why she wants to go to temple/church.

I don't believe for a second the real Rhodey would do that given the fact they were trying to save half of all life in the universe. He might not have been friendly with them, but he would not let personal issues get in the way of looking at what was at stake and when you consider he would have known Tony was up in space and that Team Cap was Earth's best hope.

I am so excited for this! Loki is tied with WandaVision for my favorite Disney+ Marvel shows, so I am so glad to get more! So ready for all the wibbly wobbly timey wimey antics!

I love Olivia Coleman so I would be here for that, but Jackson is in The Marvels, so if she does replace him I'm assuming that will be in the future. I'm also assuming he will be in Secret Wars? I don't know much about that storyline, but I'm guessing this was leading to it.

Interesting, I had not heard that...

Not necessarily. It just means he didn't have the braces Tony made him.

You obviously haven't seen FX's Christmas Carol a few years back which starts with somebody peeing on Jacob Marley's grave and, if I understand correctly since I never made it through the first episode, they made Mrs. Cratchet a witch? I think people would have a lot less hatred towards the remakes if they actually did more creative things with the movies, as opposed to "Look at the same shot from the original, just live-action!" It's clear they aren't trying to do new or exciting things, just doing a cheaper version, since live action is much less cost then animation, though CGI might impact that... Also; I am more open to remakes of stories that have been around for years, like Dickens and Shakespeare. I would even be happier if they did remakes of their less-loved live action films, like "The Great Mouse Detective" "Atlantis" or even "The Black Cauldron." Shine light on those films that didn't get the recognition they deserved.

Here’s an unpopular opinion I have; I don’t like the Rock. I don’t get his appeal, and don’t think he is a very good actor. IMO him getting his start in professional wrestling shows. His persona as a gentle tough guy also comes across to me as try-hard. He strikes me as very egocentric and concerned about his image. Often I can see why something that I don’t like appeals to people, but with him, I just don’t understand why he’s popular.

I feel the fact that they can shapeshift and read memories to impersonate anyone is more then enough of a reason. yeah, shapeshifters exist, but random aliens ending up here who can shapeshift is much different then a whole civilization of them. Look at what Gravik and his followers are doing, taking the forms of world leaders and doing false flag operations to provoke nuclear war. Even if not all Skrulls are bad, it's justified people would be uncomfortable allowing millions of shapeshifters to live amongst us, simply hoping none do anything nefarious.

Why do authors do this? It never changes any minds, and just bursts their image. Also; the fact that she keeps mentioning being a comedian gives me “it was just a joke, gosh! Can’t you take a joke?” vibes.

Just got back. Best movie I’ve seen this year. Amazing animation, great and moving story. A true love-letter to the character. Definitely one of the best Spider-Man movies.
