I think we can agree that any member of a cast like the Avengers does not need us to hold their hands. They either defend themselves or call their lawyers. No point sitting judgement over those people. Also, this scenario might not be too different from the problems you might experience in your own job. So what gives?

Regarding daily wire snow white i dont see the difference between putting it behind a paywall and the cost of a cinema ticket. I agree its still going to impact a much smaller group but its not like they were going to get this in the cinema chains. Even if they had the money for that distribution it would only take a dark glance from disney for the chains to refuse to run it or you would end up with activists out protesting the movie. They are distributing it the only way they can.

[@UnbeltedSundew]

They can make it so you can just buy or "rent" the film as opposed to subscribing. I did not enjoy my subscription there, it was a very clunky user interface/web design and the customer service was ass, but that was quite a while ago, maybe they improved.

[@katrinacambell1226]

I think that's my biggest issue with the DW critique, being behind a paywall. Its not like Disney is gonna be giving free movie tickets for their version, and it'd be easy enough to just have a rent/buy the movie option. I will agree, im sure how much impact it will have, but at least its something instead of just complaining.

[@benstanfill363]

Ya except one is $15 and the other is $100. I'd rent the movie for $10, I would not subscribe for $100 for one movie. These are not equal things.

Critical Drinker appears to be presenting a better take on The Snow White film. There is a growing segment of America is yearning for more traditional content. Nothing at all against Baggage Claim and Chris Gore, because I like them both. I must say though that their location in California might slightly skew their perspective of what a lot of Americans are yearning for. It should be noted that the Daily Wire has been trying to create their own content for a few years now. They also recently started some content release geared toward children. All that to say that I don’t perceive their making their own version of Snow White is meant merely to get at Disney. Personally, I would say that Disney should take note of all the competition surrounding them. Mr. H, Daily Wire has several original films in its collection.

[@baronessboomer3865]

Pretty brutal take on the new Snow White. If they start to make fairytale movies based on the original Grimm & other time less tales, I think that's awesome. There is a huge black hole for family movies that you can enjoy with your kids. At least they are creating something instead of just bitching about how bad Hollyweird has become. A theater movie is technically 'behind a paywall' too. I'm choosing to be hopeful for small budget independent films like this (with respect)❤️🇺🇸❤️

[@edistoorbust]

Excellent comment, friend

[@benstanfill363]

The only thing I'd disagree with is comparing (I assume daily wire plus) with a movie theater. Movie tickets are like $14, DW+ is $100 I think.

[@baronessboomer3865]

@@benstanfill363 Yes, perhaps it is, but you get unlimited access to all of their cartoons, movies & any content they produce.

That attitude is why disney will always win

[@Crunch_Buttsteak]

I agree with him. Seems like a cheap quick attention/cash grab but also to win "cool points", like "hey guys we're gonna do Snow White right! Rally behind us!". Its the same as that Ultra Right Lager that came out after the Bud Light fiasco.

[@FlarryFlats]

Yeah, his overwhelming negativity was rather telling. You don't need to give it a "massive pass" because it's DW, but at least give it a friggin chance, brother. It's just cool to have someone attempt to give audiences another option beyond Disney... if it sucks, then so be it. But, let's wait and see, eh?😂

[@OzzyHamid-cl2fi]

The reason Chris Evans was reluctant sign a long term contract as Captain America was because he was worried that the character wouldn’t be a success…..not because he was afraid of being famous. He’d already bombed as the human torch in F4. You give him too much credit.

[@verazollinger6862]

Baggage claim gets stuff wrong all the time

[@Mahoney20x6]

Same reason Ben Affleck was reluctant to play Batman/Bruce Wayne - he bombed the Dare Devil already and learned how shitty it was being attacked by millions of comic-book-guys for years. "Worst.... Daredevil... ever!" I personally thought his Dare Devil and his Batman was pretty good, but the box-office said otherwise for Dare Devil and the terrible writing killed his Batman. So for Chris Evans, he was probably using Affleck as a warning for his 2nd attempt at comic books.

[@aldunlop4622]

I loved him in F4 and I liked the movie, just a fun flick for normies.

[@MrChancebozey]

Baggage Claim pointed out the problem perfectly. The industry of Hollywood in general is creatively bankrupt. We need a regular churning of creative endeavors and end the formulaic factory produced entertainment.

[@Timothytrozzo]

The Drinker should invite Brett Cooper to be a guest on The Open Bar.

[@ravenzyblack]

The Daily Wire could actually make a decent movie. Brett Cooper is an actress who is now a KZbinr, but that doesn’t negate the ability of the movie to be successful. Many KZbinrs were virtual nobodies and they have successful channels. They started successful companies. Look at Will for example. He raised $300k just from his followers. Success comes in many forms.

When someone called the 2nd new Snow White “Ben Shapiro in a wig” I lost it and couldn’t stop thinking about it. As an American our cultural identity has been split into two extremes on either end of the spectrum and the tale of two Snow Whites almost perfectly represents that dichotomy.

But I’m quite sure the spirit of your comment is a gaslight meant to push me into a convenient liberal box and indirectly announce yourself as a conservative.

Sadly Disney will likely be acquired soon by a big investor like Apple and will then be passed around or carved up like a fresh corpse.

​@thatguywhodoesstuff1432 Can you provide any proof to the contrary? We know they inflate movie sales numbers with money they pay themselves for streaming licensing fees. We can assume based on their words and actions that they only care about their image, not actual results. What else do you expect us to assume from the dozens of "sold out yet barely full" theaters we saw during the runs of several movies? If not Disney themselves, someone has been buying tickets in bulk that haven't led to asses in seats.

The very best, spontaneous humor comes out during the pitch stage when nothing is off the table and it hasn't turned into work yet so have at it. Who knows you might put an idea in a moviemakers consciousness this way. Rank movies (excluding Princess Bride and Big Trouble since they tie for #1) by their clever and enduring quotes. You guys don't need me to suggest candidates (although I have them).

[@RecluseBootsy]

In all honesty, we need to move away from the member berry bullshit and write something new. Enough callbacks, cameos, nods, easter eggs, reboots, remakes, requels, and revisionist re-attempts. If you want to change the entire source material, then just make something new and quit riding coattails of beloved franchises. Like Mauler has said before "What was supposed to be a Passing of the Torch turned into a Torching of the Past." A criticism leveled at Phase 4 MCU but applies to literally everything remade over the last two decades.

It would be great, if Snow White (Disney) and Snow White (Daily Wire) got out the same weekend and the Daily Wire - respectful of the source material - blast the Disney's version out of the park. 🤞🤞 If the Daily Wire can put enough money in their version, they probably will win the Box Office war.

[@Joe45-91]

Reality is neither movie needed to be made. Both had reasons outside of telling an interesting new take on an old tale. Both seem like soulless propaganda in the ongoing culture war. Disney is on its quest to rewrite all of its animated movies for a "modern audience" and DW is a direct response to that. To me this is community theatre level storytelling. It's.....fine...but is anyone Seriously wanting to watch ANOTHER Snow White? I'm good

I don't think the issue with remakes was ever really about originality like Mr. H and many other people seem to complain about. The issue was that they were just bad films. You can tell the same story a million times over as long as it has good acting, good directing, and good writing.

[@bmcfonzie]

You certainly CAN tell the same story a million times, the question is how many people will be listening, and how much they are willing to pay to listen. The Peter Jackson adaptations of LOTR are wonderful. I can watch them every year. But I don't need to pay for the privilege of watching a different LOTR remake in theaters every year. That would just be silly.

Chris needs to stop listening to what people say and look at what they do. Just because producers of One Piece said that they looked at feedback and did better, doesn't mean it's true.

No, they were still shit and Oda made them rewrite and redo everything over and over until it was good.

I'm pretty sure, from experience knowing some actors in Hollywood, that all actors of all stripes are narcissists. Anytime they are trying to say they are normal like everyone else it is a facade. One exception. I used to work at a popular ice cream store in Brentwood. Many times, late at night, John Ritter would sneak into the store in disguise and buy his ice cream when no one was in the store. He genuinely didn't like to advertise his presence and told me himself that he liked to be below the radar when in public. Very nice guy, I mourn his death. Every other actor met there from Barbara Streissand to low level extras was a narcissist when you got beyone their public facade.
