Pete's Dragon

[@GeeksandGamers]

You win. I freaking LOVE that film unconditionally - Jeremy

[@MegaJesus002]

Me to grew up loving the original

[@dr.s8972]

I would have guessed Pirates of the Carribean

[@martinguzman3995]

Geeks and Gamers you do mean the original Pete's Dragon?

The live action version - Jeremy

[@queendsheena1]

My real issue with Ava is her pretentious attitude. I had heard about her from Selma and the Oscars so White movement after her lack of nominations. I respected the fact she was a talented filmmaker within the field she was in. Then she got offered the holy grail of Black Panther and she turned it down. The reasons that leaked including not wanting to make a comic book movie and sticking with original films of a higher caliber. This, of course, annoyed me because if anything could be a huge step forward it would be a female directing a big budget superhero film. Then in a big switch a roo she decides to direct A Wrinkle in Time despite it not being an original film. As far as I'm concerned she chose politics over smart filmmaking and no one steered her straight. There was obviously no real oversight because anyone with eyes could see the movie had lifeless trailers. Chasing after a female led film with no must see stars aside from a side lined Chris Pines was obviously a terrible idea.

[@FancyKerbloops]

Honestly, it turned out for the best this way. She screwed up on a movie that (relatively) very few people care about, as opposed to one that people already had years of investment in from the connected works already out.

[@Ric_Roar]

queendsheena1 - If she directed Black Panther would it have reached $1 billion worldwide? Probably not.

[@Greydevil82]

queendsheena1 the only other star in was Reese Witherspoon but this isn't a rom-com. A better cast would have been Viola Davis, Salma Hayek and Kate McKinnon.

[@StarWarsomania]

FancyKerbloops "very few people"? AWIT is a BELOVED children's book that multiple generations read in school. People would have FLOCKED to see this movie if it was well-done.

[@Stephanieyogibean]

queendsheena1 You are speaking the absolute truth! I hope everyone reads your comment! Bravo!! 👏

[@joeygarcia6810]

leave politics at the door. do your job the best you can. director, janitor teacher... it shouldn't matter

[@amfitness5598]

Joey Garcia this but sadly people with agendas like Cunthleen Kennedy run movie divisions like Lucas Film...

[@Hunter-rb5up]

Joey Garcia I agree, who knows if we'll ever get that though.

[@Stephanieyogibean]

Joey Garcia Well said!👊

[@Kylesb]

Amen, amen, and...amen. Just do your best & represent you. No blame, no shame, no making things lame when you keep your nose to the grindstone and your head in the game ✌🏻

[@Weaseldog2001]

The only thing I know about the film is that Oprah advertised it as a triumph for women and feminism. Which told me that I'm not the target audience. I think that I read the book a long time ago. If the book was a feminist masterpiece, I really don't remember.

[@benv7933]

I am SOO happy this is failing. The dumbest was how they took out biblical verses and Christian references because they’re being inclusive and diverse. Such a dumb double standard.

[@oceanmanland7076]

Actual CNN headline: "Watching A Wrinkle in Time is a Political Act". Yeah, really pushing for people to go see it, eh CNN? XD Honestly it's just article after article of people trying to make excuses for this film. Absolutely ridiculous

[@erikjaroy8921]

Ocean Man Land There's this SJW loudmouth on Twitter named Darryl Ayo. He flat-out said that if you're white and you don't go to see this movie, you may as well sign right up for the Nazi Party. Not even joking.

[@oceanmanland7076]

Erik Jaroy that's not even remotely surprising, this day and age

[@Hunter-rb5up]

Erik Jaroy Someone actually said that? Like...wtf? I'm actually surprised people would go there.

[@rogan4338]

I don't like Trump but I agree that CNN is as biased as Fox.

[@davynhainstock7503]

I bet our prime minister will do a speech on how amazing this movie was

[@tnt46dog]

I’m an African American Liberal and i’ll say it, DONT see A wrinkle in time.. it’s a mess. It was submerged so deep into identity politics I couldn’t follow the story and get into it (and I tried). The person who made this movie needs to stay the hell away from star wars to the point where someone at LucasFilm should get a restraining order against her even entering the building.

[@DarksaberForce]

Finally. Something I can relate too.

[@mysterion3182]

@Zhatka I tried to watch it a year ago. Turned it off probably about 15-20 minutes into it.

[@donparkvideos]

$33M opening on a $100M budget? Ouch.

[@emilynuttall3135]

She was actually meant to direct black panther but she dropped out to make a wrinkle in time and marvel brought in Ryan coogler. Thand goodness

[@Eohll]

Surprisingly.

[@andygibbs734]

It’s marvel. The story was written. She’d have been fine with BP. But she’s not a game changing film maker.

[@thestoiccatholic7012]

I am all for giving indie directors a chance at bigger work, but when the only reason why you are boosted is because of race and gender, it is just more SJW nonsense. Just let people with talent do these things! Merit over activism people!

[@TheZorch]

The problem is Millenials believe that anyone regardless of background has the ability to do "anything" but only if they were given the chance. This was drilled into them by their parents. They were told they could do anything, be anything, which is ok but the message left out the crucial parts. Like you can do anything if you work hard enough at it, or you get the right education. Another problem is parents and educators "shielded" Millenials growing up from Failure, they were never allowed to experience it. The losing side in a Little League game won a "Participation Trophy", teachers in many school systems were Allowed to Fail kids on Tests and kids weren't Allowed to Fail Grades. This in addition to Neo-Feminism and White Guilt has given birth to the SJW Movement today. It all started with the parents...they are to blame for this disaster.

[@thestoiccatholic7012]

I would also add that parents ignoring their children and letting liberal teachers raise them along with daycare is also to blame. That problem is especially bad in millennial parents. They just heightened what they learned from their parents behavior.

[@Hinatachan360]

I agree wholeheartedly.

[@djwats7]

I agree... that's all I have to say bout that....

[@steverome293]

I disagree with the Stoic Catholic. The problem isn't that kids are taught by liberals, because conservatives can be just as wonky and controlling. The problem is that kids are taught one one instead of the interplay between the 2. They have removed the cross-fertilization of ideas

[@prisonerofthehighway1059]

ALT-RIGHT here, sorry about Wonder Woman and Black Panther having great ratings. It was my week to get the memos out and we forgot to attack those. We’ve instituted an automated system and we’ll be ready for SOLO. No worries!

[@tocooh6838]

ALT-RIGHT-EEE THEN.

[@rajingcajun488]

+A Frustrated Gamer I took shuri's anti-white lines as showing her to be the equivalent of modern "edgy" young social activists. All she does is make stereotypical, blanket statements which help no one and antagonize possible supporters. I believe Nakia even reprimanded her for the "broken white boy" comment.

[@AuthorStephenWalton]

Ugh... How could you let such an awesome movie like Wonder Woman get a high audience score? You don't get time off!

[@gach5523]

A right leaner here. I really enjoyed Wonder Woman and I liked black panther. The reason I hated the last Jedi was because Rian Johnson was a stupid director. He made a terrible movie. You don’t have to be alt-right to hate the last jedi

[@darthskarr8975]

66 comments. Emperor Palps approves you're boycott. :thumbsup:

[@pureblackfire511]

these people tried so hard to tie this movie in with Black Panther, and Black Panther just crushed it at the box office and with critics and audiences. yea, methinks some people need to tone down their politics in the movies they create and just try to make decent movies *first*

[@isaacvitela5131]

PureBlackFire they try to connect it with the black panther? That sounds like desperation

[@Greydevil82]

Casting Oprah didn't help, she's the grand dame of Daytime TV but has a shitty record in leading films. Beloved ,anyone

[@DekkarJr]

She is widely disliked in Hollywood and notoriously difficult to work with A black female actress she worked with on the Color Purple called her a "Field Ni****, meant for the fields, too ugly to even work in the kitchens" - that's how much of cunt Oprah is.

[@imaadshahrukh4829]

Gigg's World She was miscast. Octavia Spencer would have been better.

[@Greydevil82]

Imaad Shahrukh Viola Davis is my pick

[@Daemonocracy]

Those idiots cut out the Christian elements. It was just a generic light vs dark movie. Had they geared it towards a religious audience, without being preachy (the book wasn't preachy at all) they could have tapped into a passionate audience.

[@gathererofmagic5350]

Daemonocracy yea I agree the original movie was good an the books were great.

[@bobthecucumber7818]

Yeah, I really liked the made for TV movie version

[@PopeSixtusVI]

That's why it's stupid, it *was* geared towards a religious audience! They were targeting black and Hispanic families, who are over 90% Christian, and white families with kids (and it's really only religious whites who have lots of kids anyways) so they *failed* to realize they were actively driving away the audience they *thought* they were targeting!

[@YamatoFukkatsu]

Peter Franks I haven't been following this movie (though I remember reading the book during middle school), but I have just heard about how multi-cultural they tried to make the main character's family. It was to the point that they had to rewrite the brother as being adopted, because there's no way in hell he could fill their quota for a token Asian and believably be the result of white and black parents. How fucking ridiculous has this PC bullshit gotten that we can't even have a FAMILY of characters stick to one race, two tops?

[@melsilva9158]

Wait, you mean employ real Christian themes like The Chronicles of Narnia? Those movies totally tanked and nobody ever saw them or read the books (sarcastic mode off).

[@soylentteal]

The film’s screenwriter, Jennifer Lee, laughably dismissed critics who blamed her for removing Christianity from the movie. Lee told an interviewer that making the film Christian would be “exclusionary” in a film that wanted to celebrate “diversity” and “inclusion.” As a result, millions of Christians are excluding it from their plans.

[@MOTU9000]

I'll give you a hint, it's NOT Beauty and the Beast, because that came out the same year as Dunkirk...

[@joeyday576]

The book the movie is based on is filled with Christian references (including Jesus). All were cut from the film. I'm guessing this liberal cleansing of Christianity from the source material is another reason audience members who loved the book hated the movie.

[@HiDesert004]

Textbook way to alienate your core audience

[@chongsfury4358]

The devil runs disney

[@Rylosalex]

Joey Day I remember reading the book in high school...the man with the red eyes was creepy and so was IT...after that I read all of Madeline L'engle books Didn't really care for any of the live action movies like the RIng of Endless Light and the 1st wrinkle in time movie that aired

[@stevendunn2501]

There wasn't a single thing displayed in the trailers that remotely sparked my interest. Seems like a waste of Chris Pines.

[@Rylosalex]

Ditto.

[@IndyCrewInNYC]

So happy. I liked the book but this was just sooooo pretentious and patronizing. Glad moviegoers are responding to Queen Oprah and her gigantic ego by shutting the door in her face. Expect it in your local garbage bin by May. Edit: Did not see it, it's pretty clear from the awful trailers what a cringefest this is.

[@starrynights467]

the first half was good, second half fucking sucked

[@joshuafogg6600]

Evan T As par for the course, they removed all of the religious themes, AKA the _integral_ content.

[@tximistarissole]

As soon as I saw "live action" and "Oprah" I was immediately turned off. Now if an anime ever came out, I bet they would treat the source material with a modicum of respect.

[@joshuafogg6600]

Aitche Arrete While true, Japan does not have the best track record in being "nice" towards Christianity, so I would be a little skeptical.

[@davesworld7961]

I liked the books too and read 3 or 4 in this series as a kid. Would have liked to have seen a good film but just seeing the trailers with Oprah playing some fairy godmother version of herself was enough to let me know I'll pass.

[@cliffryden4453]

I like the possibility that these consecutive bombings of movies that are so out of touch with audiences will decentralize Hollywood's power. I want more Indie films out of left (Right) field. Been watching some damn cool foreign offerings lately that were better than anything Hollywood is offering.

[@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761]

[@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761]

Cliff Ryden one of my favorite films outside of hollywood

[@pythiasibyls6269]

Can you name a few other films you've enjoyed? I'm looking for better content.

[@josephbrown9685]

I knew this movie would bomb. It’s based on an old book that most people know very little about and they cast Oprah Winfrey in it. News flash to Hollywood, not nearly as many people like Oprah as you think. She is a racist who became famous because mostly women, many of whom are white, watched her show on a daily basis and now she wants to declare that many of the very people who supported her all of those years have to die. They are somehow racist despite the fact that they helped make a black woman one of the wealthiest people in the world. The white middle class is sick of being dumped on by the mainstream media and conceited Hollywood celebrities.

[@darthroden]

The book itself is a timeless classic and very wonderfully written. To have it used as a platform for social "just us" politics from a bunch of whinny little Tide Pod eaters is what is obscene.

[@starrynights467]

the first half was OK, second half fucking sucked

[@StarWarsomania]

Samurai Momo I think I'm going to steal that. Social "just us".

[@darthroden]

LOL go ahead, I sole it from someone else on another site and it fits soooo well with these folks.

[@Stephanieyogibean]

Joseph Brown Oprah is meh. She has no influence in my world. She is such a turn off.

[@TheRestrictedgamer]

It's a shame really. The book was a great story. It's sad that the movie fell victim to a political agenda.

[@Rylosalex]

At least the other books that the author wrote won't be ruined as well BTW....what was your favorite part of "A Wrinkle In Time"

[@funnelvortex7722]

I knew A Wrinkle in Time was going to massively suck when I saw the trailer.

[@1Gr8Editrix]

To me it looked like a Hallmark movie.

[@garrettroesler3207]

[@groovymyers1354]

[@P.Whitestrake]

[@darksideblues135]

The Lawn Gnome and she is a racist.

[@erickcleveland2597]

She's said on record in interviews that she has zero interest in doing either a Star Wars or Marvel movie, thank goodness.

[@TallifTallonbrook]

They changed so much from the book it should have said based on the book. They just took the names the rest of the story is nothing like a BELOVED children's book that was published in 1962.

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

Really? They didn't follow closely the first novel in terms of characterization, motivation, plot, imagery? How did they think they were going to get fans of the book to flock to the theaters. I'll read the book (which I read some of in 4th Grade, I believe), cause I don't want to get a negative vibe about L' Engle's tale.

[@Hinatachan360]

A Wrinkle in Time was my absolute favorite book to read as a child. A little nerdy girl travelling to different dimensions to e her dad? Yes please! Lol. I identified with Meg because I was a nerdy little girl who loved her dad who was often deployed and didn't hear from him for long time periods. That book touched my heart.

[@starrynights467]

the first half was good, second half fucking sucked

[@dexwri9211]

And i thought Disney was supposed to be good at making movies based off of children's books

[@TallifTallonbrook]

Yes I have read the books probably before you were born. It was my favorite book from 3rd grade to 6th. So from 1979 to 81

[@PopeSixtusVI]

The movie was a swing & a miss and that's bad because this was a "no brainer". They could've made this in their sleep, it wasn't hard. So to see a movie that was made with such incompetence with a huge budget and the Disney logo on it was mind boggling. The two people I was with walked out after 20 minutes and watched Strangers 2, it was that bad. On the marketing side, Disney failed to realize how they were driving away their own target demographic. They laser-focused on minority families (putting Oprah on the cover, making hay over Ava) but announced they'd scrubbed all Christian themes from the script while completely missing the fact that most minority families are Christian.

[@zeroun92]

Peter Franks I stayed with my girlfriend hoping it would be better. I should have asked for my money back

[@shadowfoxcorp]

[@Hinatachan360]

@@groovymyers1354 The movie left out important plot points that were in the book.

[@Greydevil82]

The only director that can do this movie is Christopher Nolan

[@scottjames7243]

I love a wrinkle in time story but the way even the poster shows the women huge and the men small said to me it's just another sjw film.

[@StarryEyed0590]

I'm not going to try to defend the mess of a film (didn't see it, but could tell from the trailers that it was gonna suck), but character size on the poster usually has to do with how important that character is and how famous an actor is playing the character. The main character is female, and the marketing was clearly focused on the three major female characters (the Mrs. Ws) that are played by big-name actresses, rather than the unknown child actors playing the male secondary characters. Chris Pine's character is completely off-page until the last fourth of the book. Unless it was an adaptation that had cast some super well-known child/teen actor as Charles Wallace or Calvin (idk, like Jonathan Taylor Thomas fresh off Simba or something), I would expect the female characters to dominate all of the marketing.

[@princeofpickles9765]

Disney has lately been a bomb at everything......Look at THE LAST JEDI😢

[@JangosJunk77]

Prince of Pickles did you forget the prequels

[@princeofpickles9765]

adolf haltar...First of all the prequels were better than the Last Jedi...Second it has nothing to do with my comment because Disney had nothing to do with the prequels.....So stop talking out of you're butt😒

[@JangosJunk77]

Prince of Pickles lol you think bad acting and cgi is better than good acting and good cgi Jesus sw fans are so stupid

[@blackscreennoiseforrelaxat1517]

Prince of Pickles I think Adolf Hitler was on your side, might have not known Disney did not do the prequel but he was with you on the bombs that they have been putting out like this movie here. So I don't think it was necessary to snap at him lol

[@ChibsterofNurgy]

SW fans could watch a SW film done entirely with crayon or entirely out of claymation and love it. Good CGI has jack shit to do with a good film. Good acting is subjective but anyone will agree the acting was bad in the prequels. Star Wars fans just want a good story with refreshing, fun or heavy action.

[@unclechair2208]

Kathleen Kennedy will (propably) give her next 3 star Wars movies

Gandalf Niebieski please don’t even joke about that...I guess we know who is going to be doing Gender Studies Holdo trilogy 😂 (as requested by Collider panel on Thursday)

[@MakiPcr]

Don't be ridiculous Kathleen Kennedy hates black people and thinks women aren't experienced enough to direct Star Wars. Not to mention a black female director might not have another white British brunette as the lead and KK can allow that

[@JarinXeno]

She can have them. I am done with Star Wars as long as Kathleen Kennedy is in charge.

[@brucetaylor1692]

Sorry last Jedi was just bad was not alt right in my opinion that made it bad

[@strategicperson95]

lets see, director that I never heard of, has a small resume of works, media hypes up said director for future work before their main film actually comes out. Huh, reminds me of Rian Johnson before his disaster piece came out.

[@joshuafogg6600]

Funny when you take the Christianity out of the Christian book and make a movie from it, the heart and soul of the work is lost entirely. Removing the religious themes, which were _integral_ to Madeleine L'Engle's series (known as the Time Quintet), left them with nothing of substance. But of course Hollywood has long since been devoid of any real Faith, and many there hold exceptional hatred towards Christianity, so their collective actions make sense. To them.

[@andresacosta4832]

So I'm gonna assume that my weird story that heavily uses Christian themes yet heavily satirizes them and draws from apocrypha and at times makes up its own ideas (such as Pilate being the real culprit behind Jesus' death and the Jewish priests are exonerated), uses more Jewish and Gnostic inspiration at times, and emphasizes things like Sodom and Gomorrah being destroyed for inhospitality, the Nephilim being the cause of the flood, the fact that Jesus was a fucking socialist, etc. will somehow be proof that Hollywood actually can make a story with Christian themes and actual substance.

[@joshuafogg6600]

Andres Acosta Well, those really wouldn't be Christian themes then. It would be using a basis in Christianity, but as you said, it would satirize and use stuff from the apocrypha and such.

[@PoppinRandomBubbles]

Nothing wrong with being devoid of religious faith.

[@joshuafogg6600]

Gornad Huckshucx To a degree, I'll concur. But usually having faith means that there's a solid foundation for morality. In Hollywood (and in countries like China, where real religion is banned) we constantly hear of unspeakably vile things that have been done there. Pedophilia, sexual abuse, etc. - and for all their airs of moral superiority, the denizens of Hollywood are complicit in this vile actions, because it's the worst-kept secret there. And they do nothing; there are even those that believe that these kinds of things aren't bad.

[@PoppinRandomBubbles]

Joshua Fogg You don't need religion to be moral. Hell, look at all the pedophilia and sexual abuse that goes on within churches. The Watchtower Society (Jehovahs Witnesses) is currently being fined every day for refusal to release the names of members who have raped or molested members (including children) within their congregation.

[@skwills1629]

The Book was based on Christian Ideas. Disney and Oprah hate that, so they went with Oprahs New Age beleifs instead. The whole story thus had to be "Improved"... so I'm not surprised.

[@simpsonsquire1997]

[@Stephanieyogibean]

I don't see movies because of my gender or race. It's so small minded to be influenced that way. I get sh*t all the time from women for liking SW. Some just don't get it. I don't get romcoms. This agenda to spread their sjw/political/afirmitative action BS through flim has cost them my support. I guess I'll go shopping for ribbons & bows with my extra money just like a girl! 🎀

[@Joe_334]

Stephanie B can you explain where the SJW movement comes from. I would like to have the facts.

[@Stephanieyogibean]

Hardy Joe Speaking for myself, I began to see the sjw agenda years ago when people replaced black with African American. Facts, I can't give you. But YT has a plethora of sjw channels that can give you a glimpse into how they feel. It's mind boggling!

[@michaelmartin9022]

Hardy Joe I think the modern extreme version started on Reddit, in a place called "ShitRedditSays" which was supposed to be about finding and mocking stupid comments elsewhere on the site, but degenerated into seeing racism and homophobia in every little thing ("black magic" or "straight and true" for instance). The people from there moved into Tumblr and pretty much dominate it, and it grew from there into a multitude of other hobbies and, eventually, real life.

[@Stephanieyogibean]

Michael Martin I didn't know that re: Reddit. In this day & age everyone has to be satisfied, be unique/but the same, have no problems & always right. The world will crush these types into dust.

I was dying throughout the whole movie because it was so awful -- bad pacing, pretentious dialogue, bland or pointless characters, list continues. I was trying to keep it together because I thought my wife was enjoying it. When the movie ended, I asked her what she thought and she HATED it for all the same reasons I was thinking!

Only 300000 tickets sold in France (Lion King made 10M ones), and it's the first modern Disney Live Action movie which will not be released in Blu-Ray, only in a direct-to-thrift-store 9€99 DVD .

[@blackscreennoiseforrelaxat1517]

dionysos46 oooohhh what a failure lol

[@rabbitslayer2242]

Ha, love the sarcasm! I feel like Disney is trying to “slight of hand” stormtroopers into director positions so that they can Order 66 all the guys. On another note, I don’t think that Snoke is dead. The supreme leader is actually Katherine Kennedy.

[@englishguyuk]

Haven't even heard of the film??

[@39Hundred]

englishguyuk me neither. Just heard of it now lol.

[@pythiasibyls6269]

I saw a trailer on a KZbin add but all I said of it other than that was a vignette about how progressive and diverse the cast and crew is before every film I've seen in theaters for the last month. No footage of the film, just 2 minutes of Oprah masturbating to how Progressive they all are. It was pathetic.

[@jond5830]

Me neither.

[@gamepad3153]

get someone to direct a PROPER wrinkle in time movie ! it's that simple ! but I'm happy that this bombed .

[@seedfan8548]

I think Cassie Jaye would make a pretty good Star Wars movie.

[@StarWarsomania]

seedFan85 to be honest, I would go see ANYTHING she makes, just to see what she does with it. And as a big FU to leftist Hollywood.

[@Gxyz222]

At least this will heightened everyone else's curiosity towards the book. Books are mostly better anyway because nothing is compromised for the sake of making someone else happy. For better or worse, it's the author's vision. But then again, Hayao Miyazaki did an incredible job of adapting Howl's Moving Castle into anime movie form, and it doesn't feel like a cheap knockoff, but something that he loved and truly wanted to do! I wish we can go back to making good movies again without all the liberal nonsense.

[@IR240474]

Boycott Disney

[@brainrich1358]

Took my little brother and cousin to see the movie. My brother didn't like it but my cousin did. I loathed being in that theater, I wanted it so badly to end. Waste of money and a terrible, hot mess.

[@TheMrAndyDrew]

I saw an article that it sux because they took the Christian references out.

[@Foodude]

Did the book(s) have them? Because if it did then that is somewhat justified. I wouldn't say that's why it's sucks though.

[@darthroden]

More like extremist atheist regressives.

[@StarWarsomania]

Mithrax The Forsaken Yes. They did. Not as on-the-nose as say, Narnia, but they were there.

[@MatthewWolverine]

I've never read the book, but I read a while back that it was/is seen as anti-Christian. A work having Christian references doesn't necessarily mean it's pro-Christian.

[@TheMrAndyDrew]

That's interesting. Supposedly the Oprah, Kelly Kapour, and Legally Blonde characters are angels.

[@purgatoriprytania5382]

Disney has the inverse of the Midas touch.

[@CallMeFVLL]

I'm black... AF.. and even I don't know who she is. DC has enough problems, keep her away!!!

[@laservolcano7668]

The more Disney fails the happier I get

[@inconspicuousalien519]

This indeed is good. Bear with me, because I hate playing politics of any kind, and I'm not racist, sexist, or any kind of ist(except nudist). But. This is proof that you can't just slap someone into a position they have not earned based upon their skin color, sex, and political views. This director is all 3. If you can't compete with others in the industry, I'm sorry, you don't belong in the industry, race, sex, politics aside.

[@tommy1138]

There are two recent Disney bombs that I actually enjoyed, Tomorrowland and The Lone Ranger. A Wrinkle In Time looks like a silly mess that deserves to bomb. We don't get a Tron 3 from Disney but we get shit like this?

[@alphaclean3364]

I got scared when you started blaming the alt right for TLJ's low RT score. Then I realized you were being facetious and I went back to liking you.

[@Jazza8888]

Great video glad to see more of Disney's blockbusters failing at the box office. Hope they keep that SJW director well away from any Star Wars material but I don't mind if she keeps making bad childrens movies.

[@PoppinRandomBubbles]

I believe "think of the children!" Is an appropriate response to your comment, lol.

[@seldomseensmith4684]

I saw it, this last Saturday, a friend loved that book and wanted to see it. TERRIBLE movie!!! Absolute dumpster fire! Bad writing, bad dialogue, casting was TERRIBLE, oprah??? really???, terrible acting, just a really bad film. My friend was SSSOOOO bummed. Like I said she loved the book. But SC rocks!!!

[@tnt46dog]

Mike De Leon sorry about your friend, i know how it feels when a great book is utterly destroyed on film

[@duogardner6042]

I didn't care to see it because they rewrote the whole book and turned it into a sjw shit storm

[@martinguzman3995]

I really like the live action version of the Jungle Book.

[@jond5830]

That WAS a good movie.

[@fortcastellan1730]

Agreed. That movie was far more intense than I expected it to be.

[@rikuruohomaki3230]

The best thing about it, it had less songs than the animated version. And what songs there were, they didn't annoy too much.

[@masterpenguin8472]

Yeah, that film was amazing, by far my favourite film of 2016.

[@planetlexicon]

I’m a black girl and I agree with you 100%!

[@johnscott7210]

I didn't like The Last Jedi :(, It pretty much followed none of the threads set in The Force Awakens. In addition it needlessly sends all the minority characters on a red herring that doesn't matter at all to the resolution of the plot, a red herring that eats up 40 minutes of film time. I liked Rogue One very much. I like Star Wars Rebels, don't like The Last Jedi.

[@BrazilianGaucho]

I just checked DuVernay's IMDB page. Apparently she only directs movies if there's a Black female lead. How can someone make a career if she only wants to direct Black women like herself. First that reveals a great inability to build other kinds of characters. Second, this is very limiting. It might be the way to go if you're an activist, but reflects poorly on the career of any movie director.

[@codyw1]

Sounds pretty racist and sexist to me too. Imagine a white male director saying he'd ONLY direct films with a white male lead character. He'd be torn to pieces.

[@JSenator06]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Star Wars must be like prime rib to these social justice maggots. It...Needs...To...End

[@Superman_305]

How is wrinkle in time being a box office bomb a good thing? Cause now DC and Warner Bros Is getting that same female director who directed that movie to direct a DC superhero movie that's terrible news cause nobody wins especially Warner Bros cause that had hopes of having a movie that finally grosses a billion dollars well whatever movie she directs that ain't gonna be the movie that accomplishes that goal 😂😂😂

[@longago4049]

"A Wrinkle in Time Bomb" LMAO

[@MAGAMAN]

SJWs to the rescue... Oh....

[@matanui21]

Oh, that's a shame, I liked the books

[@puterboy2]

If I ever become a filmmaker, I would make another film based on A Wrinkle in Time with absolutely, zero changes.

[@VAULT-TEC_INC.]

Isn’t Jeremy “coming with another video” every time he posts a video to KZbin?

[@andrewsarinana946]

Haha, it's stupid but I find myself saying it throughout the day. So I guess his tagline works🍻

[@datemasamune2904]

The only live action films that are doing decently for Disney are the Marvel films. I have low expectations for Marry Poppins and Christopher Robin.

[@iomis2001]

The Last Jedi was terrible.

[@paralentor]

Non-Stop Barrage of Disney movies. They all blur together with their same special effects, acting coaches, recycled plots, etc. Very bland and unimaginative compared to the variety of movies in the 1980's that they keep rebooting and fail in the process.

[@K05H_]

Hey Dude, hello from Bristol in the UK. I'm a new subscriber, since the Kathleen Kennedy horror show. Gotta say I love what you do, and so far I agree on it all. Keep making good feeds Dude.

[@death-king1834]

All the Disney live-action movies are garbage. Remaking half their classics into live-action is both pointless and nothing more then a cash grab. Almost as bad as when they were shitting out those god-awful direct to DVD sequels back in the early 2000's. The original Beauty and the Beast was nominated for Best Picture back in the day. Why remake it? What is there to be improved upon? Maleficent was almost a complete bastardisation of the original character from Sleeping Beauty in attempt for Disney to make it's own version of Wicked. And know plans for a live-action remake of the Lion King are underway. This is the most pointless and dumbest of all purely cause at least with the previous remakes they at least had human characters. Lion King hasn't a single human character at all, so we're basically getting a cartoon remake done in CG instead of 2D animation.

[@mladenkulic446]

Personally, when i watched the trailer for that movie, it did not interest me to see it.

[@ativaadzem566]

Anybody can make a bad movie. Gender or ethnicity doesn't change that . I am happy that she had the opportunity to do a big movie but it didn't work . That's it

[@captaincc2735]

It does not look that good. Alice in wonderland

[@rosethorn0232]

I am SOOO glad this bastardization of a good, classic story flopped spectacularly. Every time I saw the trailer for this before another movie I'd just flip the screen off. The pandering was just so God damn blatant, and they changed the race of almost every character except the dad and Calvin (and somehow they couldn't even get it right that he was an awkward redhead, the most historically marginalized group of whites, but I guess they didn't go there because he's a white male and we're not allowed to feel bad for them ever). And making Charles Wallace adopted just so he could be yet another race? Jesus h mother fucking christ. A family of white scientists with smart kids makes no fucking sense right? Let's make a mish mash of races family that aren't even all related to each other but are by some chance all incredibly smart anyway, that makes way more sense right?

[@foxrida9909]

Thank God, that movie looked mad gay, it has O-pig in it ffs 🤢

[@redskeith4737]

So, I didn't grow up with this book, story sounds interesting, didn't plan to see the film, so just want to know how was the movie bad?

[@GreenDragonReviews]

Tron Legacy i think is your favorite disney Film!!!!!

[@JRockSamurai]

Hey Jeremy, what's your favorite original live-action Disney films? films that weren't based off Animated stories. I like a few back in the day when I was younger such as "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids", "Flubber", "George of the Jungle" and "The Santa Clause".

[@MI982]

Crank up the mic a bit, I can barely hear You.

[@carlosvaladez7436]

[@briansprenger5578]

[@scottjames7243]

Yes...look the vids but the volume is super low.

[@martinguzman3995]

She was going to do a Star Wars movie, I don't know what that would be. As for Marvel, she was considered to direct Black Panther. Good she got passed. Now she wants to direct the New Gods for WB/DC.

[@stephaniejaniczekssmugglerscan]

YES!!!

[@jagsdomain203]

Still holding out more hope we fans??? I have given up on all entertainment. I was listing to world class bullshitter talk through the last Jedi. This is more fun than watching the movie! Keep up the good work Jeremy because with out channels like yours I would have wasted so much time and money watching this junk. You have saved my family a lot!. The worst part is this is my moms fav book. She read it to every class of 5th graders for 20 years. She will watch it but I have no interest in a pile of steamy sjw.

[@Daemonocracy]

My favorite is Flight of the Navigator

[@Daemonocracy]

I think I might have heard something about that. Hollywood is full of pedophiles and I hope Trump, the most likely President to do it in decades, slaps the whole damn town with a Rico statute and locks them up. As a kid I loved the movie, but as an adult, the thought that the kids in the movie might have been diddled could ruin it for me.

[@waltermlane9664]

And yet, the Chronicles of Narnia hasn't been completed filmwise.

[@derricknichols5787]

I have no desire to see it

[@carrastealth]

Ava Duvernay brilliantly directed Selma and The 13th. Two films I recommend anyone check out. The problem with A Wrinkle in Time I saw was that it felt more like an after school special as opposed to the actual book. It seemed like an attempt for Disney to cash in on the demographic they thought they were gonna own. But in doing so robbed the story of it's individuality. As well as the movie appearing edited to heck and a lot of the footage in the trailers (showing the girl's intelligence when it came to science) not being in the film at all. Seems like Disney made a "cut the depth for time, just focus on the simple fact she's a girl and make that be why she's awesome." aspect, which I am doubting was the original vision. Though what was left of the self love message that remained in was very heartfelt. But you feel like a lot of depth of the movie was edited out, because Disney felt simplifying it down to "girl is awesome" was all they have to do nowadays. They are gonna learn a harsh lesson quickly that it's characters like Asoka that are going to resonate with audiences more than characters like Rey(Rian Johnson's version of Ray, not JJ Abrams version he was setting her up to be). Seems to me like Disney is starting to make similar mistakes to what DC was doing where they edit a film down, simplify the message and try to pass it off and make a bunch of money "just because" they're Disney. Disney continues to pay the price for their lack of vision, and Ava Duvernay imo is best suited for the films that AREN'T major Hollywood blockbusters with constant studio interference, and will probably return to that aspect of film making depending on how her experience with Disney has been on her film.
