  • "Pinocchio." Why GOD, remake that boring crap?

    From RichA@21:1/5 to All on Thu Aug 25 17:21:19 2022
    I remember vaguely a version that came out when I was five I think. A screechingly DULL story, on par with "Mary Poppins." Corn-ball child-aimed morality tales. My main point is, they've had a half-dozen of these, dozens of TV shows and movies, do we
    REALLY need more? There are THOUSANDS of fables and childhood stories. DO them instead.

    At least it'd scar a new generation of children, if they go with the
    original Carlo Collodi story idea, which after all is public domain.

    Collodi originally intended the story, which was first
    published in 1881, to be a tragedy. It concluded with the
    puppet's execution. Pinocchio's enemies, the Fox and the Cat
    bind his arms, pass a noose around his throat, and hang him
    from the branch of an oak tree.

    I would think the best reason is because the right wing lies
    continuously so the story is still relevant. Hell, I bet Trump wishes
    he could get his mushroom to grow from lying so much.

    Hilarious! But the same PANSY leftists who banned Grimm's fairy tales from schools would frown upon it.
