There are currently only two movies out that I would want to see; there aren't many others that look very good.
Which movies are those?
Zombieland: Double Tap and Downton Abbey.
I thought you really liked the Lion King though.
The original Lion King was perfect and I continue to go back and watch it time and time again. It has great music and the perfect mixture of comedy and drama. I'm tired of Disney destroying their good properties for a cash grab. Also, Elton John said all of the magic was gone from this new movie.
That really sucks; will you be going to see Zombieland or Downton Abbey?
I wish, I can't afford to go see them though. I will have to wait until they are released outside of theaters. I will be waiting anxiously though because I think they will be such good movies.
How do you know you will like them?
The original Zombieland was hilarious and wonderful and the directors have really taken their time to try to ensure that the original mood wasn't lost. I anticipate it being very good and bringing me many more laughs. Downton Abbey is being made with the same producers, directors and actors as the show, so I think it will be much like any other episode. Not to mention it's full of characters I already know and love - so I expect they will bring me tears of joy and (hopefully) tie up the loose ends from the series' end.
Are there any other movies you would be interested in?
Judy, because I love bio-pics, and Abominable. They both have pretty good ratings on rotten tomatoes. I don't quite know how I feel about Renee Zellweger playing Judy Garland though. I really don't like Zellweger and I don't want her to ruin it - bio-pics can go bad quickly.
What about Abominable?
Abominable is by DreamWorks and I feel like just about everything they touch is gold. They really get the rotten end of the stick because everyone loves Pixar so much, but unlike Pixar, DreamWorks has been able to make some great sequels to their movies that really work. If it's anything like the Dragons series it's going to be phenomenal.
Why wouldn't you want to go to see it right now?
I think it's abysmal how Hollywood is so supportive of a communist government like that of China. I saw how they included the disputed territorial line of the South China Sea and I think there is absolutely no reason to bring politics into a children's film. If this is the direction DreamWorks is taking then I am severely disappointed in them.
Wow, I can't believe that.
Yes. While I disagree with the sentiment, I do believe in freedom of speech and I think it's perfectly fine for DreamWorks to voice their opinion - however, this is not what they have done. They have hidden their opinion in a children's movie and I think that's absolutely abhorrent.
So what are you waiting on?
That line could be erased easily, so I'm waiting to see if they do that. So far, I haven't seen a response from DreamWorks and it's been over a week since the news broke.
And if they don't remove it?
Then I won't be watching it. It's a shame, I was really looking forward to it.
Well, I hope you get to see the other movies you are looking forward to.
