West Side Story Remake

Post by Bobbert » Fri Dec 03, 2021 12:10 pm

The remake of West Side Story opens a week from today. It looks like it is going to be a platform for a lot of political comments about cultural appropriation and immigration policy.

Doesn't this belong in Chatterbox?


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

It belongs in the $5 bin. Wasn't a good movie. Will be about as memorable as Cats.

Who the fuck cares?


They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

According to a recent survey, three people in Westphalia Indiana have indicated they have a mild interest in the matter.

Maybe. I wasn't sure where to put it. Every article that I've read about it is drenched in politics so this seemed like a natural place.

Maybe, because Westphalia, Indiana was named after Westphalia in Germany, which is the setting for the musical Candide, with music by Leonard Bernstein, who wrote the music for West Side Story.

Yeah, in the short time I have perused this bulletin board, seems many discussions seem to sway off topic fairly quickly.

You mean this movie isn't quite as good as "La La Land"??
