So apparently they've now made Lefou gay and there's some "warming gay exclusive scene" in the movie. I was really excited for this movie but that's brought it all the way back down for me. I had a feeling that they were going to shove some PC nonsense on us with this I just knew it. Apparently they've also now made Belle a bit more of a feminist by making her more than just a book reader, she's also an inventor now too. Yeah that's killed it for me, shame. That's unfortunate. Why mess with a formula that was perfect? I wouldn't care so much if it was a continuation story or something, but this one is supposed to be a direct reflection of the animated classic. Shame is right.

Do you have a link for that? That is weird, because Lefou is an asexual character to me. Why bother even sexualizing him?

From what I read, it sounds like it'll be more subtle and not so in your face per se.

Just Google "Lefou gay". You'll see it.

Lefou gay? Are we surprised? No one is surprised.

I don't know why they're making a big deal out of it though. I mean, technically that movie also showcases bestiality and other Disney movies have some underage romances. You don't see them making news articles about it.

Why are they changing it though? If this was a retelling, then no one would care. It's supposed to be a live action version of the animation.

Well we haven't got any reviews for Kong: Skull Island yet and the release of that is approaching like a missile. So I think maybe the week it comes out we should expect to see some reviews.

It's not supposed to be exactly like the original. Look at Jungle book. Fair enough, but I'm still irritated. I don't know why Belle has to be an inventor either. I guess I just love the original so much, I'm going to be one of those assholes critiquing all the minutae.

It was Emma Watson that requested the change to have her character be an inventor. I like what they are doing to keep parts of the animated feature but also add some changes. We will get a better back story of some of the main characters in the new version.

I wish the art direction and cinematography was better since it all kind of seems like a set.
also ewan and ian should have switched roles.
but....i'm pretty sure i'm gonna like it.

When will we have the reviews ? Now. Check Rotten Tomatoes and note the avg rating. It was 74% when I checked yesterday. I can't say I'm really excited for it, but I will still watch it.
