Well, when COVID happened and the movie business changed, my monthly movie guide was a casualty. But, yesterday, a billboard caught my eye about a film opening today and I couldn't resist. It strangely epitomizes everything that is wrong about Hollywood in 2025.
Ladies and germs, I give you the new Disney edition of "Snow White." Oh, Len, you mean the one with the seven dwarves?
Shhh. You can't say that word any more. They will be offended.
Who?
Midgets!!!
But, indeed, all of the so-called "dwarves" in this live-action movie are CGI-created. Actors do the voices but computers do everything else. Jeez, they don't even get billing in the title. And, so, if you're a midget actor in Hollywood in 2025, your spot in the unemployment line is a permanent one.
Of course, the original 1937 cartoon was particularly fine. But the dumbbells at Disney stopped having new ideas about 30 years ago. They just keep remaking shit. If a story was once live action, now it's a cartoon. If it was once a cartoon, it's now live action.
And around and around we go.
If you dig a little further into this swill, you'll realize that Snow White isn't...well...White. She's played by that idiot who played Maria in the recent and unnecessary remake of "West Side Story." This could mean that Bashful, Sleepy, and Dopey are all hiding shivs. But, of course in 2025, it's impossible to cast anybody but an "diverse" actor in anything. Meanwhile, the actress in question just used a public forum to say "Fuck Trump." There goes the box office for this movie in Arkansas.
But I am hoping this turns out to be the box office thud it looks it will be. The clowns who run this town deserve nothing else.
Dinner last night: Leftover salisbury steak.
