I’ve enjoyed McCartney’s music (admittedly mostly when he was in The Beatles) and I love “It’s A Wonderful Life,” but “Wonderful Christmastime” is cloying, and McCartney can be a bit cornball, so I can’t exactly find myself clamoring for this, even though I’m likely to see it at some point, even if just out of…

Oh God, he’s going to cast himself as Clarence, isn’t he?

Also, fuck the people who ruined the 69!

Nah, yours was definitely first. I just went through the process of editing and then realized I should check if someone else noticed first. Then, naturally, I moped when I saw yours but still shared my efforts.

Aw, dammit, I cropped the screenshot and everything to point it out...

Disney’s computer algorithm says yes, and you should also enjoy the four remakes they’ve released or are releasing this year, too! ... ‘cause if you DON'T... [clenches fist]

I think that’s the point? She’s shown only at the end as starting to embrace the fact that maybe she doesn’t have to put up a “try-hard abrasive front” by offering that her friends call her MJ, even though it’s still a habit she can’t quite kick, likely because there are reasons for her to have begun acting like that.…

Clumsy though it may be, I don’t think they intended to have her be Mary Jane, though. Her name was Michelle, and I think the whole MJ thing was a way of saying that she was going to be filling in that role rather than the traditional Mary Jane.

I actually need to see that one... 

Isn’t that the first Step Up, or am I just imagining things? I'm too lazy to find out... Someone tell me.

I’m actually not familiar with the books, but I do have a soft spot for Disney’s dark and angsty black sheep and would happily buy both the Blu-ray and see the remake, and it’s one of only a few of the canon movies I don’t yet have in HD, mostly because it - along with Melody Time and Make Mine Music - hasn’t been…

That is true, but I would argue it’s there because it was already in the R-rated version of a series now known for being R-rated for things other than LGBTQ representation, and the PG-13 edit was mostly an afterthought, one that barely anyone went to, mind you. It’s not that LGBTQ representation is impossible, even,…

That wasn’t PG-13, though, and people will always claim that their kids aren’t ready to see LGBTQ representation in “family movies.”

Isn’t that at least the ideal when it comes to remakes - take something that had potential or aged poorly and make it achieve its potential? I’ve said it elsewhere, but the remake of “Pete’s Dragon” was the embodiment of this.

God loves them. He's just very, very disappointed in them.

Right, exactly! And so I don’t blame the kid, but rather the parent. I don’t need a fake cheerful background commentary on how the T. rex is “a good guy now! Yay! He saved the people, see?” when I’ve paid for an IMAX ticket. Again, I do empathize, as my sister’s had to leave theatres before because Incredibles 2 and…

As someone who gets really upset when people talk during a movie, even I think it’s unreasonable to get upset at kids, particularly when it’s a family oriented movie. Hell, a little boy behind me at Cars 3 made it much more exciting because he was so invested in it and shouted things like, “Go, Lightning! Go go go…

Pete’s Dragon was a minor masterpiece that sadly underperformed, especially compared to most of the others, which is really sad. The original was also a treacly mess, and yet whole I don’t see how they could’ve gone anywhere but up, I also wasn't expecting something as beautiful, sweet, and moving as the remake.

Why not then err on the side of caution and compassion and work on solutions to ensure the well-being of both, mentally, medically, physically, and financially?
