The true gem of Disney+ (and the thing that made me get it) is The Imagineering Story, and I will hear no arguments otherwise.

I’ve worked in a couple movie theaters. There is no hell quite like it. Especially the Rocky Horror Picture Show act along divas. Talk about a group that should drown in a minivan…my home theater is way better on all fronts and with no cable/satellite I can afford more options than I have time to consume. It is wonderful, and there will always be a place for cinemas, it’s not HBO or D+ that will kill them. Anybody who hates their family or is not wearing a cross needs something to do Christmas Day

Hiring a musician with “a take” on jazz would be terrible regardless of their race. Reznor & Ross’ jazz happens to be garbage. So does the idea that the race of the composer of the score correspond to the race of the main character.

Again–Baptiste wrote the jazz parts–not Reznor. I’m commenting on this: ” i am sort of bummed they didn’t let trent and atticus do the jazz songs too,”

Ehh, I wouldn’t say it’s radicalizing jazz to say its an African-American art-form considering it it’s infancy America actively tried to stamp it out with many of the white practitioners catching flack from other white musicians since it was seen as ‘lesser’.

While I have no problem with white jazz players who have added a shitload to the genre and I am looking forward to Trent flexing new wings, it’s odd to see someone get mad at ‘racializing’ jazz as if it was this kumbaya moment during Jim Crow, lol.

Really love you trying to racialize both this movie and jazz as a whole (some of the greats were *GASP* white!) and at the same time conveniently forgetting Jon Baptiste was most of the Jazz in the film whereas Reznor and Ross took on the rest of the score in all this. Grow up, will you. You’re tiresome.

I love their music, too. But–if I were making a movie whose protagonist is an African-American jazz musician… I’d hire an African-American jazz composer, not someone who has a take on jazz.

I got it specifically to watch golden-age Simpsons and that’s really all I have used it for. I give no fucks about Star Wars and I do not like Taylor Swift. I guess I watched Hamilton. It was okay. . Essentially I give Disney money each month to not have to resort to pulling out my DVDs. And you know what? Worth it. I have 3 money and no kids.

He’s got this amazing film scoring career, his songs can be arranged where they can become classics, his music gets sampled and becomes and it becomes a SMASH HIT, baby. His music career? How many other heavy music dudes not only stay relevant, but for soo long? I don’t care what anyone says, you can certainly considered him to be one of those guys who has more than one job.

No Toy Story 4! Stop the Pixar cash grabs of sequels and make them do original project.

(Why 4 and not 3? Because 3 ended up a complete story arc for the characters and it makes no sense to move into a new story arc just for cash grab purposes)

it’s way cheaper (and safer) to pay for one month of disney+ than it would be to see this in a theater. That said, once all this is over I’m worried what this means for the existence of movie theaters, because typically I much prefer that experience to watching at home, but that’s another conversation entirely
