You have to look at multiple metrics though:
Those are feelings, thought - not facts.
Can you provide some examples? I agree Lightyear was misguided (similar to the Cars movies but less lucrative).
Nope - Onward was the last release and unfortunately came out the literal weekend before most lockdowns started in the States. And the three immediately before that were Coco, Incredibles 2 and Toy Story 4. It’s also notable that while Elemental struggled in opening weekend, it legged it out and took almost half a…
I don’t know if this is a review error or an actual plot point of the film, but Jane Seymour was not murdered. Seymour died of natural causes following childbirth. Does this movie suggest she was murdered? Is that a conspiracy theory I’m not familiar with because Seymour famously received a queen’s funeral and Henry…
I also don’t think she can file in the UK as I think from a business standpoint, it was a US endeavor. She could have gone after Gadd back in 2018, but she obviously wants the deep pockets here
Elemental also legged it out at the box office and ultimately made pretty good money and all of the films performed well on streaming. The family box office is in trouble. That’s the biggest strike against them right now, to be honest.
It seems weird to suggest that Pixar has been bad recently unless you just mean in terms of box office:
It is unlikely that they are publicly lying about the documentation.
You can argue the ethics of that, but legally, it is certainly allowed and it would fall under dramatic license since the show while saying it’s a true story is clearly a dramatic recreation and not a documentary. Legally, they are almost certainly in the clear. All of the examples you’re giving are examples where the…
They didn’t exaggerate her crimes. They have stated that they have 41,000 emails that she sent Gadd. I suspect you didn’t see the show and don’t actually know what the accusations are. But Netflix (nor Gadd) never released her name. They changed key details to obscure who she was. She outed herself.
That’s not actually what happened. One of the tweets, which was shown on a fake account with the actresses face was similar to a real tweet that Harvey actually sent Gadd on her own public facing social media.
The lawsuit was filed in the US so it has to reach the US legal definition of defamation, which is incredibly hard to do and would have to involve proof that it was not true, but still fully traceable to her. Given her identity was only discovered through real world social media posts she herself made, it will be hard…
I do think you bring up an interesting point. If we are to believe the story if fairly faithful and that she is the model for Martha, it’s hard to know whether or not any of that is actually true. It is definitely true that people saw public tweets she left on Gadds twitter that made people suspect her, but that’s a…
In this instance, we also have a situation where as far as we know, Netflix hasn’t harassed her. Netflix didn’t out her. Gadd didn’t out her. Gadd went so far as to say that wasn’t the point and he didn’t want her identity known. At that point, their culpability ends. The fact that she made public tweets that other…
That conversation would be tangential to her case because her case (as a defamation case) is claiming it’s not true. If it is true, it’s not defamation, which is honestly the real reason her case is going to fall apart because Gadd gave Netflix all of the emails, voicemails and texts prior to the show going out.…
I really don’t see her winning.
This sort of feels like there’s three sides to a story - yours, mind and the truth - situation type deals.
They were pushing it pretty hard on the Disney Channel as someone who watches a lot of Bluey while babysitting. There were trailers and special features every hour in the past month. It sounds like the sort of marketing push that I’d expect for a small film with a niche audience that was made for streaming and then…
