News Round Up 2019

Don't know about others... my reasons are 1) nobody can replace Robin Williams -- not too bright to try, 2) I think Will Smith is a horrible choice for Genie -- I understand they couldn't just mimic Williams, but this seems a particularly poor match, 3) I dislike the live action remakes in general, 4) when was the last good Guy Ritchie movie?

was just coming here to post about this ... that Sea Monster's Embrace mug/bowl is amazing!

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

That's mean. He's had success since Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Snatch was OK.

I'm honestly not sure if you're joking or not... those were in 1998 and 2000...

WDWNT has reviews of the new drinks and also pictures of the new 4th edition Krakatoah Punch and Shrunken Zombie Head mugs

They said if it wasn't Disney they would have titled the Sea Monster's Embrace drink as “College and Bad Decisions”

I saw him in Hamilton and he was FANTASTIC!!

I still maintain that no one can replace the genius of Robin Williams, but I would have MUCH preferred to see James Monroe Iglehart in that movie!

and the fact Will Smith has to follow not one but two great performances (even if you don't think he was up to Robin Williams he was still rather great) I think the odds are stacked against him - I hope he has a completely different take as that is the only shot at making it work I think

Yeah I was being sarcastic. LS&2SB was his first feature film, and Snatch was his second. He really has been pretty off his game ever since then though. To be fair, I thought Sherlock was OK, but then I saw that movie five hours into a transatlantic flight when I'd completely run out of other stuff to watch, so maybe I'm being overgenerous.

I believe BlogMickey and WDWNT reviewed them together because the reviews were the same.

Now that's interesting...as far as that date.

I know as well know but also James Monroe Iglehart did an amazing job as Genie in the Broadway show - so you have two previous amazing examples that he has to match up against

I still have hopes - but it also could go very wrong

This was what I was going to say and I didn't even see it with him. We saw the touring show last year and it was fantastic. It was a live stage show and I didn't expect him to be the cartoon version of the genie because he shouldn't have been. I wouldn't expect the same from a live action movie and it's the only live action I actually want to see. I haven't seen any of the others because I don't think they'd be better than the cartoon or really aren't that much different from one. I know CGI is different but really it's just a fancier way of doing a cartoon. But I feel the same with the Lion King and Nemo shows, I don't like the puppets because I can still see the people. I've never seen and never will see the Lion King on broadway for that reason too, it's just not my cup of tea.

Well DL will be open so I’m not reading too much into that. I do expect a November opening at WDW tho.

I don’t know how to feel about that. I kind of want it and I kind of don’t. Going for Thanksgiving regardless!
