Alucard188 03/15/18 1:14:57 PM #49:	Sounds like another film adaptation that failed to live up to the expectations of the book. Reminds me of The Golden Compass in that fashion, in that they removed a lot of the subtext surrounding the protag and antag's movements because of religious controversy, and then ended the movie about 2/3rds of the way through the 1st book. --- Face it Cloud is a gaming icon and has appered in lots of games while mario has only appeared in 2 games sunshine and 64~xSlashbomBx <cite>Alucard188 posted [p:897854335] in A Wrinkle ...

Or, as it seems more indicative of the articles posted in this topic, the casting of Oprah, the race of the director/her political vies, and the exclusion of heavy Christian themes has made it a political target for people The funny thing about this ludicrous article about the director claiming the movie is doing bad because of racism is that it actually demonstrates that at least some proportion of the negative press is highly politically charged. It's funny, because I didn't even like the movie all too much and I find myself here defending it, because it's just some ordinary child sci-fi movie. But people are attacking it disproportionately, with obvious political bias. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] <cite>COVxy posted [p:897854558] in A Wrinkle ...
