So whites made her revise a movie to destroy its theme?
Um, OK.
LOL and a chuckle.
Believe me. I can get ANY edit/spec version of any movie in Hollywood. Not saying Im far up the chain :) This was one of the few I did not receive any and I’ll ask about a bud of mine who knows someone at Rotten Tomatoes to look into the BP ratings. Most people who work there are lib assholes.
Not enough of her former Reverend Wright congregation not in jail to go? Maybe the Dear Lear will put a word in for her to get the Kool-Aid drinkers to go.
I'm not a Christian, but I am white...and in any case, I have no desire to see a film that doesn't respect the source material.
Sounds like you wouldn’t have liked The Hobbit either. Good for you!
Movies are seldom as good as “the book” and more you change the story the more that statement seems to be true.
It's just you.
Ah, the progressive conscience of FR chimes in.
Just like Hillary, the people let her down. They are too stupid to recognize Oprah’s brilliance.
Jackson did a pretty good job (on the whole) adapting LOTR, but his Hobbit trilogy is terrible.
The word about them removing His Word got out...
“Writer of Disney’s ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ Ditches Biblical Themes for ‘Lots of New Age Content’”
“In an interview with Uproxx, screenwriter Jennifer Lee explained why she decided to remove Biblical references found throughout L’Engle’s popular 1962 children’s fantasy novel.
“The book is pretty open about its Christian ideals,” said Mike Ryan, a senior entertainment writer at Uproxx, while interviewing Lee. “The movie doesn’t directly reference them,” he noted.

Domestic haul - $104,499,038 - $33,123,609 opening weekend and then dropped off a lot
International haul - $21,100,000 because word got out the movie sucked
Marketing, merchandising, and other cost - ??????? a lot ???????
Disney financial projections - Demolished
Disney could have projected this piece of crap profiting a tens of millions, maybe hundreds of millions.
A movie can make a profit, however, not meeting financial projections will be labeled a flop. This thing might not even make a profit at all, which means a financial disaster, not a “flop”.
My daughter who read the book, but hasn’t seen the movie, theorized that the book is very imaginative. And different readers conceptualize it differently. Thus the movie had a high bar to begin with, because so many people have read the book and have preconceived conceptions of the story.
But as a Christian and white person, those comments don’t make me want to see the movie.
Apparently the Rotten Tomatoes score is bad. And my kids trust the rotten tomatoes score.
Sorry, total domestic haul was $83,399,038
hee hee, well I saw “The Hobbit” movie with my nephews, but I had never read the book! (don’t really care much for the whole genre)
The movie left me rather lukewarm, but not because I could compare any changes from the book. It’s just that whole fantasy kind of story doesn’t usually do much for me.
They were not true to the book, or so I understand!
Yeah and churches bought out theaters for that Christian song movie. Happens all the time.
