Aw, I don’t think Dowd is some kind of no-laughing, no-breathing soulless monster, I just think he’s mischaracterizing what makes the movie enjoyable to those of us who do like it.

Considering Children are also the heroes in all of the stories, I would suggest the message is:
“If your child is a shit, it’s because you are a shit. If your child is decent, you might still be a shit.”

They already put that in the Burton version.

Willy Wonka origin story

Yeah, but think of all the outrage they spared themselves by placating half a dozen disingenuous Nazis!

Disney execs today:

There’s a girl in it which reminds me of the fact that I’ll never get laid because I’m an asshole!

I mean he was mostly hapless in the original movie and Wildstyle did A LOT so I saw it more as a joke against Emmett than any sort of “feminist lampshading.”

This looks like a bunch of fun. Can’t wait for the psychotic boycotts.

This looks fucking fantastic. And Paperboi as his dad? I’m in.

I guess this is an unpopular take, but I actually liked the Jim Carrey Grinch movie. I’m certainly not saying it’s better than the original cartoon, but I laughed my ass off watching that movie for the first time, when it came out.

McDonald’s is nothing like Pennywise. While McDonald’s has the golden arches, Pennywise has the golden arcs. McDonald’s has the Big Mac, but Pennywise has the Big Mick. They both kill people. But McDonald’s kills people slowly through the long term effects of a high calorie, high cholesterol diet. Pennywise just…

Oh Genndy…
