2020: so Catradora could kiss

2024: so Caitvi could fuck in a prison cell

I Love this movie.

Sam Lansky has such a wondrous way with words, and I’ve loved reading his pieces for over a decade. If you’ve ever been around him, you know he’s just the best type of person: Curious. Interested. Hilarious. Intriguing and intrigued. I have tRuSt iSSueS when it comes to interviews but I couldn’t be happier that I did this one with him. I was blown away to see quotes from people I adore and admire like Stevie Nicks, Greta Gerwig, Shonda Rhimes, Phoebe Bridgers, Natalie Maines, Kenny Chesney, and Lucian Grainge. I was so happy he spoke to fans Madison and McCall who were so eloquent, loyal, and kind. I’m really reflecting on this year, and all the years that led up to it. Can’t say thank you enough times. 🥲

So, today, Bob Iger opened his mouth and said this:

First off, this is a rude thing to say! Like people worked hard on the movie and it is very weird for him to blame its flopping on a lack of supervision by execs - especially when the film's director, who has been treated really grossly by the media in general, literally broke the record for highest-grossing film by a black female director with this movie (and, yes, the fact that the lowest-grossing Feige-produced Marvel movie is also the highest-grossing film by a black female director is really depressing and says a lot about Hollywood's diversity problem).

It's especially weird for him to say this when plenty of other Disney movies starring/directed-by cishet white dudes have been flopping this year too. The vibes aren't great. I don't like it.

Second off... Well, um, if there weren't execs sticking their noses in everything, then this suddenly makes more sense to me in hindsight.
