Anyone going to go see the new Snow White movie?

I read on Bluesky that one theater had to stop a showing of the movie, no one was in the theater!

I no longer go to theaters either. I prefer closed captions, rewinding to see interesting scenes, and being able to pause when I need to visit the toilet, or when I need a refill on my snacks.

Also, people in theaters are noisy, rude, and talk loudly (to each other an on their phones). It's a shame.

I haven't been to a movie in the theaters since 1994. Seriously!

My DVD player and big-screen TV are simply better.

The original cartoon was grotesquely sexist and I have no idea how they could clean up the basic premise.

....spoilers

They totally cleaned out the sexism engaging the right who are calling the movie woke.

Snow white and guy have a relationship BEFORE the kiss that wakes her.

She guides the dwarves through cleaning up their own cottage..does no cleaning

Took out the song "some day my prince will come"

She leads revolt against evil queen

is fine with me. Still, I don't get the enthusiasm for remakes in general.

Can't remember the last time we went to a movie--probably before Covid! We wait for movies to come out on video and check them out from the library.

Sorry, but even as a kid I was annoyed that folks (or cute animals) were talking and then suddenly bursting into song. Who does that?

The only two musicals I could ever tolerate were "Rocky Horror" and "Tommy."

It was okay. There were only 12 people in the theater but it was a 12:45 showing.
