Disney's Pinocchio (Live-Action)

[Ben]

"You smoke like my grandmother" — that won’t be in there!

[Daniel]

He says "me", but you're right. I guess they could change it to "you shoot pool like me grandmother".

[ShyViolet]

[Ben]

Well, authentically, the line would be said, "You shoot pool like me granmudda!"

[Daniel]

Replace "Yuh" with "You" and you got it.

Also, I'm guessing Lampwick's donkey transformation will be played more for humor and money-CGI, and not that great scary Lon Chaney transformation from the original that traumatized a generation (in a good way).

Seriously, I've seen the scene included in Great Horror Moments of the 30's compilations...

[Daniel]

It must be scary that it transcends a decade prior!

[Ben]

Maybe they had a sneak peek...?

[EricJ]

Here (throws the Anal-Retentive Boys some toilet paper and Ex-Lax):
30's = 1931-1940...Where were you during the Millennium?

[Ben]

See, this was my thinking, and I should have stuck with it. Unfortunately, the wider view seems to have changed since then: I got pretty eye-rolly when we got all those "end of the decade" lists in 2019. "But we have another year to go!" I said. "Nobody cares", they said. Seems we have shifted back a year so that decades make up a nice and neat, 0 to 9, as is customary in the current state of our dumbed-down society. Kind of makes sense, but not really. However, given this, howsabout we play splitsies and say Pinocchio ends the decade *and* kicks off the 1940s...?

[Randall]

While the decade DID begin in 1931, it seems to make sense that the "1930s" was a "decade in time" that encompassed 1930-1939.

Oy, here we go again...

[Daniel]

That's how I looked at it. But whatevs.

Will be interesting to see how they go about the donkey transformation. They don't really excel with key moments!

[Daniel]

Luke Evans will portray another Disney baddie, he's landed the role of the Coachman:



Talk about a sexy makeover.

[Ben]

Or...rather more of a "hey, we’ve used him before in the Modern Disney Rep Company and he just gets on and does the job, so let’s just use him again"...

[ShyViolet]

In all honesty, and not trying to sound too negative, but he just doesn’t look very scary.
