And while that's certainly a more plausible explanation than the female screenwriter inserting Disney-revisionist "Girls, don't marry princes!", it definitely didn't help.eddievalient wrote:Here's the interesting thing about that:

I'm disappointed! I thought we had some Wicked fans here!

Anyway, watch out Eric. No good deed goes unpunished and I'm sure you'll be laughed at for caring.

Ah. (lightbulb goes on, clouds part, gets joke now.)James wrote:I'm disappointed! I thought we had some Wicked fans here!
I'm afraid Wickie-fangirl jokes go somewhat over my head, as I don't live near NYC, I can't afford to go to many stage shows, I'm still waiting for that movie Universal says they're going to do someday (giving us all those other crap Oz and fairytale-villain-revisionist movies that the other studios want to rush in first), and in Wicked's case...I'm heterosexual.

(But I still say teen slang has been shaped by movie-critic blurbs over the last few decades, and I'll have do a thesis someday.)

You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!

Re: Disney's Frozen
Thanks to the blu ray/DVD release, the soundtrack is once again Number One on the Billboard charts for a seventh week. Furthermore, it had its best selling week, moving 202,000 copies (an astonishing 104% jump from the previous week, when it was still Number One). They projecting Frozen will stay at Number One next week, making the first album to have as many weeks at the position since Adele's 21.
To add to the success, "Let It Go" by Idina Menzel has jumped back up into the Top 10 of the singles charts, peaking at the moment at Number Five.

Re: Disney's Frozen
Frozen's success continues to astonish. Nice to see Dis finally have a huge hit on so many fronts.
And now I await the announcement of the 3D Blu-ray release. (I know, still a little way's off--- but a release is expected before Christmas.) I had pre-ordered the region-free UK release that comes out right away (which has a beauty of a Steelbook too), but the North Am release may have more material on it.

"Astonish" is DEFINITELY the word.Randall wrote:Frozen's success continues to astonish.

In fact--given a few leaked marketing flyers for ancillary Frozen book/toy marketing--it's expected October 14th.And now I await the announcement of the 3D Blu-ray release. (I know, still a little way's off--- but a release is expected before Christmas.)
Disney's own distributor PR has been mentioning a "Super Synergy" Frozen/princess retail push for Oct. 7th and 14th, and I don't think they're just talking about the Sleeping Beauty reissue.
(Especially when the Frozen flyers mention "to tie in with the upcoming 3D Blu-ray release in October".)

Re: Disney's Frozen
Well for a billion dollar grossing movie the BE they just put out is extremely disappointing. Anyone else expecting that "how did we make Frozen" thing to be the intro to a great doc? How lame was that when it just ended!?
So, yeah, you can bet there's a packed Ultimate set on the way...

Re: Disney's Frozen
That's what I figured. I wasn't sure if the UK set has more on it already, but I highly doubt it. Thus, holding out for what comes later.
Thank goodness I've become smarter with my purchases over the years. So sick of double dipping.
