Normally, we don’t ever head out to see movies on 3D with big Hollywood blockbuster written all over them. It’s just not our thing. In fact, cinema in most places rarely carry anything we are interested in seeing, art house and foreign films just don’t get that kind of exposure. But, we were gently coerced into seeing this with a whole gaggle of queens. Yes, it was a weekday and we were on a vacay. The result is as expected. A hugely-produced mock-up of a classic. Not the book, but the Disney animated film. A bunch of top-notch stars, “amazing” special effects and a new angle on an old story couldn’t save this hodgepodge of overproduction and manufactured sap. To top all that off we have to sit through Anne Hathaway’s incredulously hideous acting.
Fox News is not the source to go to for impartial and objective news, but this is just absurd. Conservatives have gone out of their minds (if they have any) and completely disregarded georgraphical facts in one of their recent broadcasts. But, in reality, the average Fox News viewer does not know any better and wants the whole area bombed. They couldn’t care less about the Middle East. Everything is “Yay! USA!” Blind patriotism they call it. It happens everywhere in the world. This is a generalization, but conservatives always tend to be the poorly informed and uneducated people, which leads to prejudice and bigotry and, ultimately, hatred (or they could be informed and educated but evil and greedy). No wonder Fox News caters to the homophobic, racist, sexist gun-owners in the US. This above image is not a slip up, but more a slip into their minds.
Can’t decide if she is a politically correct mouthpiece or a beacon of hope.
