Looks like the repackaged fairy tale now featuring girl power, feminism, and LGBT moments is a big hit.

People eat up anything pinched from Disney’s anus.

It has to be women, young girls and gay men, right? What normal man or boy is gung-ho for a live action beauty and the beast musical remake of the animated movie, with or without any Disney gayness? I mean come on. Seems plenty gay without any actual gayness going on.

I really wonder if this nation can be made great again. Our Donald is strong but he’s got some tough competition.

Oh please
I saw it last night
Gayness was a minor character making a few subtle allusions and glances scattered throught a 2 hour movie - you almost had to be looking for it to even notice it
For a child? Pfffft would not even get it
No LBT whatsoever
No political message
No feminism except belle did not want to marry a jerk and settle down in a small town to have babies ( gasp)

In general a charming humanized remake of a Disney cartoon with some beautiful visual effects

Just think if they didn’t put that gay kiss in the movie, they’d make around 250 million at least. I mean 160 million is nothing to sneeze at and it will probably be the most successful movie in 2017, BUT it could have done even more if they simply took out on little kiss. Oh well.

the news about how this movie is filled with gayness turned out to be fake, was used to sell tickets to the ‘progressive’.

“not accounting for inflation”

This is “opening numbers” (see John Carter of Mars)

How much of this will vanish in the accounting, pr costs?

FReepers need to quit bitching about Hollywood. Create your own studio and movies and music then.

it is not a joke dropped into the movie, the homosexual content is intentional propaganda per the director and rest of the cast.

No matter how they slice it the movie was horribly miscast.

also (per http://www.themoviespoiler.com) he ends up with a beastly “beard” which is slang for something else.

(for those in rio linda, a beard is slang for a homosexual man who marries a woman as camouflage)

The 90 percent of the public who don't follow conservative websites have no idea what you are talking about, sad to say.

Presumably one who wants to keep a girl/woman happy (cf. "son-in-law"). It has always been thus.

However, I'm glad to hear from others on this thread that the concern for homo-marketing has turned out to be, to mix metaphors, a tempest in Mrs. (tea)Potts.

I have no idea what you are talking about
No one ends up with a beastly beard
At the end While belle is dancing with the clean shaven prince she asks him if he would consider growing a beard and he does a beast snort
It was funny because he was a hairy creature when she fell in love with him
In the ballroom dancing secene fou twirls his female partner and then exchanges glances with a man gasp,in the midst of the ball scene which lasts all of 2 seconds

If this movie is considered a threat to morality then we - you- are being played

No normal male is chomping at the bit for a live action musical fairy tale love story remake of an animated Disney movie. They might bite the bullet and take the women and girls in their life to something like that, they might even enjoy doing so, as it makes the people they care about happy. But they aren’t gung-ho about fruity musicals, gay stuff or no gay stuff. I mean come on, what man or boy is going to say something like this is their favorite movie?

Which proves something I've long said to be true: Controversy Creates Cash.

The more controversy, the more cash. Those that understand this concept and use it to their advantage are marketing geniuses.

This movie is popular because of Emma Watson. She is a big star with the 20 somethings. Those who grew up with Harry Potter. Emma is not in that many movies. So this is one of very few chances for her fans to see her. And of course this is a Disney princess movie that was popular at the time if first came out. And lastly, Ariana Grande and John Legend were somehow singing in it. And its that total combination of those three stars and a familiar but not overplayed Disney Princess formula movie that has ever girl from 12 to 30 going to see it.

It’s not a great movie this time. The shots are too close. If you get nauseous from 3D movies you will get queasy at times in the regular version of this movie. And most of us will get queasy at the PC changes in the movie. Small but numerous edits to the script that turn Belle into a snob, and the towns people into evil barbarians. A classic movie where globalists are right and towns people are stupid and evil. They actually say, “small town means small minded”.
