Want to post something but there isn't a thread that quite fits - thread

One of my favourite bands, Steve Marriot criminally overlooked as a singer/song writer. Fleeced by their manager, Marriott also conned out of money when he formed Humble Pie. Became an alcoholic and cocaine addict and died comatose in a hotel.
According to the fire investigator he fell asleep with a cigarette and set fire to his 16th century mansion / cottage (accounts in the actual size vary) they found him over come by smoke on the floor - as you say, a sad end to probably the best uk soul / blues singer Ever...and he could play a bit too

 

This new snow white grinds my gears.
If you want to make a film about female empowerment and Inclusion. Brilliant, go and make one. All for it.
But to hijack a fairy tale and completely rip it apart and rewrite the whole thing is a no no, for me.
If you wanna re-tell snow White, then maybe write it as it was supposed to be, which would be very dark, or leave it as the fairy tale. Don't make it into something it just isn't. Just because of wokeism
 
Well, to be fair, Disney has always tailored the storyline of a fairy tale to what they think the current American audience will accept. Check out the original Pinocchio storyline for example. And Winnie The Pooh, I suppose.

I agree that what they are doing with Snow White sounds a bit rubbish. It's why I won't be watching it ...

Disney are in a pretty terminal tailspin right now, aren't they? especially now with this actors strike going on...

Will be watching that purely for the two leads 💦

Meh, the adapting of an already fictional story. Not sure it will affect too many lives.

The change actually sounds OK to me. There have been plenty of versions that have differed massively from the original, it is just because the term woke is the new buzz word that people get their underwear in knots over these things.

If the synopsis/trailer of a film/show/book does not grab you then don't watch it and watch something you do want to watch without getting all preachy as to how 'wokeism' is ruining everything.
