I didn't realize the only reason why you'd be concerned for someone's health is if you're something in the field of improving one's health. Huh. News to me.Disney's Divinity wrote:Well...if we're going to have respect...that would include not mocking people in completely unrelated discussions. If a person is obese, absolutely nobody is saying you have to think they "look good" or to be attracted to them or say they're healthy when they're not. But that should mean having enough self-awareness to know that their entire mindset isn't going to revolve around looking the way you want them to either. It's nobody's business. Saying you're concerned about their health is bs. Why don't you work on making healthy foods affordable if you care that much? That would be more productive than making someone feel awful about themselves. Just a thought.

Re: I'm so tired of Frozen
Oh, I think we had a misunderstanding. You were actually saying we don't need to agree with other people's opinions, and instead hold on to and fight for us to have our own? That I agree with. Sorry. I was just saying we need to respect other people have different opinions.ProfessorRatigan wrote:I don't think we have to accept anything. If you like something, you like it. If you don't, you don't. Just because a bunch of people like something you don't or don't like something you DO, that doesn't mean you should just go with the crowd. Form your own opinions. Stick with them. Fight for them. That's what being a fan of art is all about, right? Discussion! Debate! Popular and/or critical consensus never means a damn in the long run. A film is either going to make it or it's going to be forgotten and dismissed in the future. All you can do is be true to your own feelings and your own likes and dislikes.Disney Duster wrote:Maybe we have to accept that Frozen is considered an incredible movie, better than the few good recent previous ones, in a lot of people's opinion, even if to us it's not.

Or we can use the actual definition as they're using it which is an adjective:Super Aurora wrote:entitle |enˈtītl|Sotiris wrote: Being entitled is a negative trait. How else is supposed to be used?

Re: I'm so tired of Frozen
Which still doesn't makes sense in the content describing Big One. No where in any of his posts is Big One is "believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment." So it still doesn't make sense and is using it incorrectly. If anything, that sounds like it describes Sotiris way more than Big One.The_Iceflash wrote:

Re: I'm so tired of Frozen
I'm not sure where entitlement has to do with anything I've discussed. I'm not entitled to anything, other than maybe explaining how I'm misogynistic in any shape, form, or fashion and I'll apologize for it if a sound argument can be made. Until then, you guys don't have much to suggest I am so I'd like to continue the main discussion about Frozen being overexposed.

Re: I'm so tired of Frozen
Well, this seems relevant.
Frozen director "sorry" for movie's catchy songs like Let It Go!
Frozen's co-director Jennifer Lee has jokingly apologised to parents who've had to listen to the film's song 'Let It Go' over and over again. The signature song from the movie is a pretty fabulous, empowering and very catchy track… but maybe not after you've listened to it numerous times in a row as some parents have!

Re: I'm so tired of Frozen
The noteworthy thing about the huge success of "Frozen" is that it's a so-called fairytale/princess movie that has been the huge blockbuster, which is Disney's trademark. Unlike "The Lion King", who was a naturalistic animal-movie.

But "The Lion king" was talking animals and I think talking animals are equally their trademark.

Re: I'm so tired of Frozen
I think it's nice that people are into something from Disney again, like back in the 90s.
I actually love that people are relating to the characters and loving the songs. Perhaps it's stereotypical of me to say I relate to Elsa (since everyone else seems to as well), but I do.
Maybe it doesn't hurt that I have a one-year-old boy obsessing over the film.

Re: I'm so tired of Frozen
I think Let It Go is the most ubiquitous pop song since My Heart Will Go On in 1997. Everybody seems to have heard it. Not many songs like that in today's music world. In fact I can't think of any...

Re: I'm so tired of Frozen
True, but they're not as marketed as the Princess/fairy tale lines have been (at least lately). I'm not saying that the animal movies aren't promoted, but let's face it, Disney are considering their Princess movies to be more important, considering how they began with one and several of them brought the company back on track again, as "Cinderella" and "Mermaid" (I'm tempted to say "The Princess and the Frog" as well, since it wasn't a flop, but considering that it wasn't the big breakout for Disney, I'm not sure if it counts). And let's not how forget how huge successes "Beauty and the Beast" and "Tangled" were.Disney Duster wrote:But "The Lion king" was talking animals and I think talking animals are equally their trademark.

Re: I'm so tired of Frozen
As a matter of fact, The Princess and the Frog does, in a way, count because it did get Disney back on track by, like The Little Mermaid before, getting people to start seeing Disney movies in the theaters again.DisneyFan09 wrote:True, but they're not as marketed as the Princess/fairy tale lines have been (at least lately).

But, yes, it's very strange to see other people fascinated with a Disney film again. It's especially nice if you remember the good times during the '90s high.

Re: I'm so tired of Frozen
I'm tired of Let it go or some other frozen song playing every time I go into the Disney Store on the screen there with Elsa's coronation dress mysteriously changing into the blue one with a rip in the front that let's her left leg and foot show.

Btw, who/what is Adele, in reference to it in an earlier post.

Re: I'm so tired of Frozen
The fairytales are definitively their main trademark. But I'm not completely neglecting your idea. The animals are their trademark as well. But I'm just giving my analysis. I could be wrong as well.Disney Duster wrote: Yea...so I guess fairy tale movies are slightly more their trademark, even from the beginning with Snow White.
