This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Tbh my problem with the new lil mermaid wasn't that she's black, it's that since they remade (and completely fucked up) Total Recall I've been BEGGING for a goddamn original concept from a movie instead of another stupid remake you can make terrible but it'll still sell thanks to brand recognition. C'mon movie/cartoon people, Tim Burton can do it, ask him how!!

Oh yeah, 100%. None of the live action remakes have been worthwhile. They're almost universally creatively-bankrupt lazy cash grabs. If it weren't for the occasional right-wing outrage over them being "woked up", they'd come and go without making any impact on public discourse.
