Your Daily Disney Disaster: Disney Delays Snow Beige Until 2025; Gina Carano Torches Kaffeine Kennedy

Snow White was reportedly mostly filmed but Disney is pushing it back a whole year:

snowwhitecgidwarves.jpg

Why? Well I'll tell you why:

Bob Iger's job is at peril. It is becoming more and more obvious to more and more people that Disney cannot make the changes it needs to make with Bob Iger -- who made all the big mistakes of the past ten years -- sticking around forever to keep those mistakes in place. Bob Iger doesn't want to save Disney; Bob Iger wants to save Bob Iger's legacy, and that means keeping all of his terrible managerial decisions in place and riding this out in hopes that one day, history will vindicate him.

Do Disney shareholders want to continue losing value waiting years and years for history to possibly validate Bob Iger's ego?

So he's in trouble. And he has a huge crap about to drop in the theaters called The Marvels. He cannot have Snow White take a crap in theaters at about the same time Nelson Peltz is campaigning for other shareholders' votes.

He also can't admit failure and just scrap the movie entirely.

So he's pushing it back an entire year. He'll pour more shareholder money down this woke toilet just to avoid every having to confess error.

The Hollywood Reporter notes that Disney pushed back Snow White from its original release date of March 22, 2024 to March 21, 2025.

The outlet alleges the delay is due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike.

However, The Walt Disney Company also released a first look at Rachel Zegler alongside what appears to be seven dwarfs. Given the appearance of the dwarfs, it's possible the film will undergo significant reshoots once the strike is ended.

The idea that the movie might undergo significant reshoots and thus might be the true reason for the delay is because The Daily Mail previously published images from the set of Snow White showing a number of actors that looked nothing like the dwarfs in this first look image.

Some people take the CGI dwarves in that photo to mean that Disney is going to spend $100 million to digitally erase the hippies and RenFair rejects they've already filmed in the movie and replace them with more conventional, but very expensive and CGI-rendered, fairy tale dwarves.

Other people think that Bob Iger is just lying as usual, promoting the possibility that they'll be replaced while having no intention of spending another $100 million on this doomed production.

I think it's the later. I think he called up Disney marketing and told him to deliver him an image that would "quiet the noise" on Disney's unending culture war on America.

Like I said, he knows his job is on the line.

Especially because of the South Park episode destroying Kaffeine Kennedy and Disney:

The episode wasn't great. Many of the jokes were obvious, knocking down the lowest of low-hanging fruit, and then ending with a "both sides are wrong" message.

Really? I'm wrong? I'm not responsible for driving Disney's stock price down from $160 to $79 and change.

And if I am partly responsible: Good. Proudest day in my life.

But even though South Park finished with some cowardly, sniveling, ass-kissing both-sidesing, the thing is, Disney's critics do not have shareholders ready to fire us for criticizing Disney.

But Bob Iger and Kaffeine Kennedy do have shareholders they must appease.

So even though South Park's final craven message was "both sides are wrong," it still only hurts one side, and that's Disney.

Disney's shareholders now have the image of their crumbling share value linked with Kaffeine Kennedy's endless demands to "put a chick in it and make it gay!"

And now that the Unsayable Thing has been said loudly enough that no one can pretend they didn't hear it, people will actually begin talking about the Unsayable Thing.

Gina Carano seems to name Kaffeine Kennedy specifically as the one behind her firing:

Gina Carano
@ginacarano

This is the part where KK demands any YouTubers get censored off of YouTube for sharing and laughing at this hilarious episode, she'll have YouTube disable the thumbs down option because of the ratio she'll receive, then she'll have her publicist ghouls make sure Variety and Hollywood Reporter run hit pieces about the South Park creators and their families smearing their names through every useful idiot she has under her thumb who would sell their soul to work for Lucas film, she'll activate her online mob to repeat that the South Park creators are racist, bigot, transphobes, and demand the South Park creators publicly apologize by only using words she approves of and finally she'll demand they subject themselves to a re-education course of 45 people in the lbgtq community zoom call to sit there and listen of how badly they got their feelings hurt all over a little boop of a South Park episode. [Thumbs up]

But maybe just maybe the jig is up. [wink]

Gina is referring to Disney's demand that she get on a zoom call with 45 lunatic Disney trannies and take their attacks on her in guilty silence. Incidentally, there was no guarantee that those trannies would not record the Zoom Struggle Session and then post it to embarrass Carano.

Midnight's Edge says Carano isn't exaggerating about Variety and THR running hit pieces against Kennedy's critics -- Andre recalls one of them digging up dirt on Carano's family in order to smear her, after Kaffeine Kennedy fired her.

After a Kennedy minion called Carano crazy for that tweet, she unleashed another one, spitting hot fire.

I'm surprised she did this. She must have signed an NDA and taken a payout, right?

This is Carano saying "The hell with the NDA, here's the truth about Disney."



Gina Carano
@ginacarano

Do you always call a woman crazy just because she has more first hand experience than you & says something you don't like or understand?
Bit misogynistic don't ya think. Tsk tsk.

Curious if your overlords pay you or do y'all just go ahead & shove your whole head straight up their ass for free?

I'm guessing for free. Might want to come out for some fresh air.

For some added context, not just for you but for the people reading, one of the things your overlords asked me to do was to unfollow certain accounts because they "said bad thing about Kathleen Kennedy." That was a huge red flag for me.

So Disney instructed its employees to stop following any accounts that were critical of Kaffeine Kennedy. Obviously, this would be done at Kennedy's behest.


If I were the head of one of the most powerful entertainment companies in the world, I would know that haters come with the territory & that maybe the "haters" are expressing their thoughts because they actually care and caring is a good thing because as long as they care well hey, we still have something to work with. Maybe we can win their hearts back eventually & maybe they do have some good things to add to the conversation (which they do & did). And at the very least they are still buying the product.

Look at Mando season 1, boom, the healing had begun.

If you are a proper good leader you learn how to embrace & communicate, not dictate & silence & demand your actors & directors unfollow & shame more than half of your fan base & the people who have stuck with the franchise for decades.

Side note, don't say "The force is female" & then allow only the men to express their political views online. In fact just drop the ridiculous phrase completely.

One of the problems your overlords are having now is that they've made a lot of people completely stop caring about one of the most beloved franchises in history, all by bullying, pushing aggressive agendas & trying to silence the people criticizing them.

How are they able to tell stories they don't understand when the ones they identify with are the Empire? They are literally trying to squash the little guys, the rebellion. No wonder the story telling is struggling.

They fired & dehumanized people like me who did absolutely nothing wrong, all to virtue signal to people like you, the Yes Men. But Yes Men unfortunately for you & them, do not drive culture. Maybe they were banking on the kids picking up the slack but one of the best things about this franchise is passing it from generation to generation to share, the competition is too high to throw out something as valuable as that. Why would one generation pass it on when you've disrespected & thrown them away?

Your overlords tried to hide behind the two opposing fan bases fighting each other instead of taking responsibility. So they encouraged the hate, all while virtue signaling they are standing up for minorities but instead using them as a shield & weapon. Funny enough just how our government works.

They think people will forget & yes maybe they will but for this moment they have heard the peoples voice & it shook them. They're choosing to stick with their weak leadership who couldn't handle YouTubers saying mean things online, when all it would've taken is a true leader to step in, take the reigns, take some responsibility, stop discriminating, apologize about the things that have been done wrong, step completely out of politics, be truly inclusive & they'd be back in business.. until then, they're stuck with you, the Yes Men & their plummeting stock.

I'm not saying I'm right on all fronts but I am open hearted & refused to discriminate based off of powerful people telling me how to think & act & if there was something I needed to apologize for I would have in a heartbeat but I didn't say or do anything wrong. People come up to me daily to shake my hand & thank me for taking a stand, even people who think diff.

One thing is true, good leadership makes for a better world, leading to healthier & happier people & better opportunity. Look around, we are watching the devastating effects of what bad leadership can do worldwide.

Great stuff.

Andre from Midnight's Edge reports on what he's hearing -- that her husband Frank Marshall had a bad weekend due to the South Park expose, because Kaffeine Kennedy is prone to rages and when she rages she lashes out at the people close to her.

Tom says he knows she's pissed because he's had her usual twitter minions attacking him all week.

Midnight's Edge says that Gina Carano is tipping her friends that there's going to be another shoe dropping about Kaffeine Kennedy and/or Iger and/or Disney shortly.

Good.

Burn it all to the ground.

Oh, and here's something that happens in The Marvels, via Mr H reviews: "Photon," the new black female superhero, has to fly, but doesn't know how to use her flight powers.

Sam Jackson/Nick Fury yells at her to just use her "black girl magic" to fly without knowing how.

Everything is race. Race race race race race.

Enjoy your escapist entertainment!

There's a fair amount of, "this was always the plan" going on, too. The claim I've seen is that there will be both groups - the seven dwarfs *and* the seven "bandits" and that Snow White herself will be saved by (and fall in love with, of course) one of the bad-boy "bandits."

I guess we'll see in a year or so. Or not. Whatever. I don't much care, beyond the fact that at this point it's going to be a major money loser for Disney no matter what. Zegler has seen to that.

That's almost a man teaching something to a woman, but not quite. He's just telling her to tap into her inner blackness.

But still, it's mysoginistic and we should boycott Disney because it's obvious that Disney hates women and think they need to learn how to be black from a man.

Yup. The thing that must be avoided is apathy. Hatred is still engagement. It isn't favorable, but the haters are still plugged in and tuned in. They can possibly be brought back in to the fold. Maybe not, but the *possibility* is there.

Apathy is the brand killer. Put out bad product enough times and people will just quit caring. They no longer hate you, they just no longer think about you at *all.*

Star Wars is in the apathy stage. So is Pixar. Marvel isn't quite there, but is running toward the finish line at high speed.

I have to disagree. Merely "different leadership" wouldn't do it. The corporate *mission* of Disney has to change. This requires a change in leadership, but that alone is not enough. Disney is not about story-telling, it's about attitude-setting. They view themselves not as running an entertainment and activities company, but running an enterprise that shall drag the populace kicking and screaming down the shining path.

31 Disney is in a bad spot. Do they release woke Snow Beige to try and recoup some of the cost, risking even further damage to the brand or do they quietly disappear the movie?

I don't know that 100 million in reshoot costs can be done, especially if they're on the hook for a multi-billion dollar contract.

The only way it doesn't see the light of day is if Iger gets fired by the board and the replacement ices it out of spite.

There's a South Park episode where Cartman keeps telling Token Black to do stereotypical black things. Token keeps getting angry at Cartman for stereotyping him, and Cartman insists Token do it anyway. Token, to his exasperation, keeps discovering Cartman is correct.

EG: Cartman tells Token to go find a bass guitar in his basement. Token says not all black people have a bass guitar. Cartman tells him to go find it. Token finds it.

EG2: Cartman tells Token to play said bass guitar. Token says he doesn't know how. Cartman says, "You're black. Of course you know how." Token tries it and discovers he can play bass guitar.

Sounds like The Marvels unironically did a South Park.

80 Oh, and Snow White wrapped production in May.

It was done, aside from reshoots that are pretty normal for movies, especially under modern Disney.

Reshoots were planned (they always are these days), and a delay of a 3-4 months to get pickups of a week or so wouldn't completely derail a movie release 5 months away. You could do most of the CGI work without the actor elements on shots that need CGI, and non-CGI shots can get inserted pretty quickly.

No, they're going to reshoot a very large chunk of the film. Perhaps as much as everything involving the "magical creatures".

97 Afternoon.

It's very simple.

Iger and his subordinates know how to spend money. They know how to spend great giant gobs of money. They do not know how to actually *make* money.

PIXAR was a no-brainer, years of projects and competent writers and directors. They were a license to print money.

Marvel had a plan and pulled it off. They were a license to print money.

LucasFilm mostly made its money on preproduction and postproduction services. Star Wars, however, is a no-brainer. License to print money.

20th Century Fox...uh, sure? I'll get back to you on this one.

By and large Iger acquired already successful companies with plans that extended years out. Now everything is dried up and they're at a complete loss. "THROW MORE MONEY AT IT," they shout, but that won't fix the problem. It's amazing that for as long as they've been in showbiz Iger and his people simply do not understand what audiences want, much less what makes a good movie.

That's because the movie had a writing credit for the game's designer Scott Cawthon, who is openly Christian and a registered Republican. (There were some attempts to spin up a boycott of the movie because of that, but Palestine sucked all the air out of the room).

125 Okay, so we went to see Martin Scorsese's 3667 hour long movie, "The Killers of the Flower Moon".

To be fair, I wasn't ever bored, however somewhere in the 2-2.5 hour area I started looking at my watch because it was all just clean-up and obvious thread closing at that point.

I think even Marty knew his movie was dragging on too long cuz he came up with a flashy gimmick ending to tie up things quickly.

Great acting, great directing, script that could use editing, strong white people are all stupid, hypocrites, and/or psycho garbage vibe but given the story you knew that was coming.

Call it middle tier Scorsese. Like "After Hours" but without the laughs.

Recently, I saw Scorsese's "Bringing Out the Dead" with Nicholas Cage, which I liked a lot more and would put in Scorsese's top tier as one of his loony New York dark comedies. It's streaming on Prime.

I suggest you watch "BOTD" and wait till "TKotFM" is streaming so's you can get a snack, make a drink, go to the bathroom at your leisure.

265 The idea ther movie was pushed back because of the strike doesn't even make sense. The strike has been going on for 6 months, which means come March 2024 these studios won't have any content to release. I can understand if they said they need to push back to Jun/July just to get those summer box office goers, but not a year.

With the thought being that the SAG strike will be ending before Thanksgiving, and productions resuming in January, Disney could easily start making a few midlevel films to have ready for 1st quarter 2025, they wouldn't need a movie they expected to be a big draw, based on a huge Disney property.

Maybe they'll learn no one wants to see a movie led by a bitchy 20 year old racist, who thinks she's ther brightest mind to ever walk the planet.

Executives all work under incentive programs, and usually you have to meet a certain revenue level, or production schedule to get a bonus. A high exec. might have a dozen possible bonuses in the works any one time.

The delay has to be connected to that. There has to be a reason hidden in the details of the incentive structure.

1 mole of hydrogen has about 237kJ of potential electric energy. To split 1 mole of H2O would require about 286kJ (some would be electric and some would be heat).

Dear Lord. Please let this be bait.

Toyota is trolling Ford and GM into an arms race for an engine that doesn't exist.

It's an atmospheric water powered engine.

295 Good news for Matt Gaetz!

Looks like Santos may be expelled as early as Friday*, according to The Hill.

So, Gaetz will only need THREE other like-minded patriots to unseat the Speaker next time-- down from four.

Or any four disgruntled GOP lame ducks will be able to do it.

Power sharing with DEMs, here we come. Gaetz getz 'er done!

297 Ace, you're 100% right about the South Park episode. It was a weak attempt to go after a competitor when the company they work for is just as bad when it comes to woke shit. It's disgusting seeing all the content creators on the "right" act like this was the biggest own ever. The show hasn't been consistently funny for some time now. The Stronk woman episode was great, but nothing since then has come close.

298 Toyota says it has a water powered engine. The basic idea is that distilled water is separated into hydrogen and oxygen inside the engine by means of electrolysis and then the combustible hydrogen is used in the internal combustion engine.

300 I really don't give a hoot as to what happens with Disney. I barely watch movies any longer. I don't go for the superheroes, as I grew up with Superman and that's it.
So too much Disney ... unless you have money invested.

So, going to drive around with a cylinder of liquefied ammonia in the trunk? Now I've had a large cylinder of that stuff in every lab I have worked as I often used Li or Na in liquid NH3. In every case I kept the cylinder in a fume hood. Ammonia is a heart stimulant hence smelling salts. Dangerous.]

303 302 294 They're working on an ammonia powered engine.

Then there's the whole refueling station. Are we just going to swap cylinders - it would be a full service and not self-serve, or actually refill a cylinder - O what fun. I can see that Little Old Lady From Pasadena in a cloud of ammonia and water vapor. LOL

Now ammonia is made from Nitrogen (from air) and Hydrogen (usually from petroleum or from coal and water. So you'll need fossil fuels.

A little less choking would be nice too.
