I like Disney but I no longer go to the movies because of the liberal actors who use my money to push their views and Obama on me let them do it without my money.
Walt should be distinguished from the current Disney organization, which would would probably appall him.
Walt Disney was a deeply conservative man, with a strong religious faith and an abiding love of the American Dream. The original Disneyland was effectively a monument to America. It's not Walt's fault that a bunch of atheist commie yahoos took over after he died.
Thanks.
I haven’t seen it yet.
Did Walt smoke all the time? And the Sherman brothers?
I bet they didn’t show that.
Didn’t like Mary Poppins. Even as a little kid, I didn’t like Mary Poppins.
Never seen a Tom Hanks Movie. See no reason to ruin a perfect score like that.
I think I’ll read a book...
I don't hate Disney but I do hate Hanks and the socialist pisshole he works in.
To hell with them all, the last movie I went to was almost 60 years ago.
Harlan Ellison made a lengthy rebuttal video against this movie, said it’s one big lie only meant to make Walt look good.
I don’t know how they could really make a film about this, since there’s no happy ending with the real story. Travers so despised how the film ended up that she refused to allow any other Mary Poppins stories to be dramatized on film, why there was never any sequels.
(I) He's an openly gay, Hollywood multi-billionaire mogul----liberal to the core. David Geffen was an early supporter of Obama and raised $1.3 million for him in a star-studded Beverly Hills fundraiser.
On February 21, 2007, in an interview with NYT's Maureen Dowd, Geffen described Hillary Rodham Clinton and Bill Clinton in unflattering terms: "Everybody in politics lies, but the Clintons do it with such ease, it's troubling."
Geffen told Dowd that Hillary Clinton was "incredibly polarizing" and that Bill Clinton as "reckless", casting doubt on those who say Clinton has become a different person since leaving office.
Could not agree more.
(2) Three-time Oscar winner director Oliver Stone could not be more leftist. He has cavorted w/ Hugo Chavez and espouses leftist positions that make one shudder.
Yet Stone endorsed Ron Paul's 2012 candidacy (only Paul's foreign policies--not the domestic).
Stone can veer of the lefty reservation without getting bruised by the Hollywood steamroller----three Academies give him extraordinary power.
Stone's megahit "wall Street" even had a happy conservative ending---the greedsters went to jail.
On my “to-watch” list.
Knowing the real story, behind this marijuana-haze created story, I won’t go see it.
However, instead of taking all this space to explain it, since it is 2013, and folks don’t take time to read much of anything, as they used to, here is the video that will explain things, somewhat raw to the ear:

I really liked the film. They did a great job of recreating the early 1960’s in LA using the actual locations, including the Walt Disney Studios that have not changed since those days. Paul Giamatti was wonderful, as were the actors portraying the Shermans.
This is what I wrote on the previous thread:
I saw this movie this weekend and found it absolutely charming and give it two thumbs up. I loved it and the men in the audience seemed to enjoy it as well. Great for date night. I see lots of Oscar nominations on the horizon. Even if one never saw, didn’t care for, or has forgotten ‘Mary Poppins’ this movie is still enjoyable on its own.
.... without revealing too much, it’s about processing childhood trauma in adulthood. I wouldn’t go so far as to call it ‘dark,’ though. Just the type of thing that brings a tear to the eye or a lump to the throat. Overcoming adversity and triumphing with success. The audience loved it and sat through the credits as there is something additional included.
The biggest problem is it’s all a pack of sugar coated lies. She never liked Walt, she never liked the movie. As a piece of fiction it’s not bad, but it bears no resemblance to reality, and the fact that Disney made another movie that horribly butchers her story probably has her spinning in her grave, kind of a jerk move on their part too.
