Let's say Disney came to you and asked your ideas on how to redo the franchise for the screen? What would you do? A movie, tv show etc Any rating, tone you can use any characters from the ride, even from previous films and any Haunted Mansion adjacent ie: the spin off comic books they did.

How creative can we get Disney fans? Who knows we know actors, filmakers, musicans etc use these threads. Maybe someone at Disney will see it haha.

I think she is ridiculously talented and I think whole there are some valid reasons why a lot of her solo material hasn’t really translated.
I actually think her voice and performance style given how high energy she is would actually suit pop or pop adjacent music better. In my view, some of her best solo songs like Boy Bye and Body Do lean more in that direction.

Perhaps if she did something that firmly straddles the line between pop and R&B a bit similar to what Jae Stevens is doing or even Lizzo fusing r&b with disco and funk that could work. Rather than trying to go down the more straight up R&B route. I think she would find it more creatively fulfilling and I think she would resonate more with a wider audience . I think at the moment she’s or at least her team are trying to lump her it in with like the Summer Walkers, Ari Lennox’s and Coco Jones’ and she is not a similar type of artist to them.

Plus, let’s be honest we don’t really have a lot of big representation of black girls in the pop landscape at the moment.

what do you guys think?

I recently rewatched it, and obviously I know it’s a comedy and I’m looking at it it through a modern lens but I think that she had a really lovely chemistry with Jimmy Stewart character and I think even though that the movie set up that either choice would be a good one for her, to me Cary Grant’s Dexter character came across as a lot more manipulative.

At least in the later film musical remake , High Society, Bing Crosby‘s Dexter is so kind, charming gentlemanly that you truly route for him and Frank Sinatra equally.

As the title says what is the best series final/final episode of a sitcom and why?

as the title says what is the best R&B song that was either written specifically for a film or featured on the soundtrack of the film. And when I say featured, I mean when you think of this song, even if it’s just on the soundtrack you think about this film or the fact that it’s tied to this film?

So over the Easter weekend the Prince Charles cinema has been showing Amelie and I went to see it yesterday. I love the film and it was really great to watch it in the cinema.

But , it got me thinking about the musical. I remember watching slime tutorials of first Samantha Barks one in LA and then the Broadway one. and I really enjoyed it. I thought it was a good interpretation of the material. Stay is a beautiful love song and I’m sure that it’s going to be used in concerts, cabarets etc for years to come.

But watching the West End version on stage yes there‘s some clear , production changes. Having the cast be actor/museos instead of an orchestra and using French accents. However generally , the book (although I think elongated to be 2 1/2 hours ) structure and the songs aside from I think one are the same. So what do you think it connected better over here than it did on Broadway because it ran for only a few months? Is it because it is such a European story and so British audience may resonated with it more. The casting?

Was it about timing? Because I think this is one of the first shows I remember seeing after the pandemic so maybe it was the optimistic tone? Was it just overall a better production? What do you guys think?
