Excuse me, what?!Charmed remake
I KNOW IT'S SO BAD TOO, ESPECIALLY LANCED WITH ALL THE 'DIVERSITY' I JUST WANT MY OLD CHARMED BACK MAN, WHY YOU GOTTA DO THIS TO US??
You want scary, look up Angelica Houston’s nude photo set.Well you have to admit, Hathaway is spot on casting for an ugly witch. Won't be better than the original though.
Unironically this.all I can say is if they don’t fuck up the ending and make it a stupid happy ending again maybe it won’t be so bad.
With Octavia Spencer as the grandmother, don't be surprised if this version is woke where the witches are white and they only target non-white children.To paraphrase another Roald Dahl adaptation:
Come with me, and you'll see, an industry run dry of imagination.
Looks like a joke, just more woke....masturbation.
Maybe it’s planned to be a Halloween release?the tagline is WITCHES ARE REAL because they know this is appealing to tumblr witches in the same way an MLP movie would probably tagline itself PONIES ARE REAL. they know they don't need subtlety to make money off their target audience.
In the nineteen-eighties, feminists lambasted Dahl for his supposed misogyny, focussing on “The Witches” (1983). In 1985, one critic called the book “a dangerous publication,” which bore a “striking similarity” to the “misogynistic” fifteenth-century witch-hunting text “Malleus Maleficarum.” It was a bizarre comparison. Dahl does write in “The Witches” that a “witch is always a woman”—but not that a woman is always a witch. The strongest, most appealing character in the book is the boy narrator’s cigar-smoking, tough-minded, and immensely loving grandmother.
This remake is set in 1960s Alabama to excuse the diversity casting.With Octavia Spencer as the grandmother, don't be surprised if this version is woke where the witches are white and they only target non-white children.
Is the wokeness involving the addition of a third child, this one a girl?It was alright. They actually kept the book ending but added something batshit on top of it and some wokeness.
Why, yes, as a matter of fact,...Is the wokeness invoking the addition of a third child, this one a girl?
If I even start to jerk my body around like I just drank potion #86 my wife freaks out.No comment on the movie but regarding this thread's sub-title, Roald Dahl didn't like the original film adaptation. From memory but he said they'd made it into a horror film for kids and thought the effects were far too scary and upsetting for children.
It was all based on his drawings, sure. But there's a world of difference between this:
