Another Disney remake!!!!!! My Favourite!!!!!!!!!!!

thethreepennyguignol's avatarNo But Listen

I’m going to be real with you here:  nobody at Chez No But Listen happens to be a die-hard classic Disney fan. Star Wars? We got you covered. The movies of Rob Zombies? We’re all in. Batman? Too much, some might say. But honestly, the first teaser for Disney’s live-action Aladdin remake had the internet scratching its head for days, and we can’t miss out on a potential carcrash of the childhood-ruining variety. So here we are, blue fresh-faced and ready to take on the first full-length Aladdin trailer! Let’s get to it.

0:10: The less said about the Will Smith intro, the better, I feel.

0:21: Alright, I get it, every single action scene ever made has to be shot like John Wick, but this is a live-action Disney remake, can we just leave off for one singular moment?

Game of Thrones Trailer: An Idiot’s Reaction

You know, the final season of Game of Thrones is coming out next month and I feel like it’s the end of an era: not a good one, of course, because I despise Game of Thrones and always have. Yes, it’s a well-made show and I admire the artistic blah blah fan appeasement blah, but it’s just not for me. Never has been, never will be. And yet, this is the most virulent pandemic of a pop culture disease that has existed in my lifetime – bigger than Breaking Bad, bigger than Doctor Who, Game of Thrones has been following my unwilling ass around like Jamie Dornan getting into character for his latest role. I’ve watched almost all of the show, just trying to get to that point where it clicks and I go “ah, yes, this is what I’ve been missing!”. It still hasn’t happened.

Riverdale S3E13: Requiem for a Welterweight

Like, you’re watching something on TV, and then you’re in the show, and then you’re dating one of the actors, and then you’re back watching that story unfold? How the logic bends and folds and falls in a way that just doesn’t make sense, and then you wake up, try to explain it, and can’t?
