Looking at the press about Sia doing this movie is kind of obnoxious honestly She didn't write the screenplay by herself, she had a co-writer, to whom she apparently dictated much of the script while acting it out

Talking about all this shit about how physical she is and how she always writes songs the same way and she can't stand to sit at a desk with a computer "I've never learned how to use Final Draft, I don't have the patience" Well good for you lady

I guess if all of us had someone we could pay to just like follow us around and laboriously use that cumbersome technology to translate our cool spontaneous ideas into a written format that can be submitted to a studio a lot more of us would also be genius screenwriters

I'm being salty about her getting this opportunity mostly because the finished product is so offensive But, you know, that's allowed

Yeah if what came out looked singular and unique and not twee and offensive whimsy all would be forgiven.

I think a lot of people who complain about Twitter mobs cancelling a game/movie/whatever don’t want to admit that there’s a lot of good grace to be earned by making the actual product in question good regardless of anything else

Undeserved good grace even! But it’s there!

I have nothing against Maddie Ziegler as a person (well, I didn't before she agreed to do this movie) but even before I understood why an abled actor playing this kind of role was problematic I would not have recommended her for this role

She's a dancer, not an actor Her first big test of her acting ability should not be this wildly risky version of "becoming" someone else in a way that already offended a ton of people before they even saw it and is very likely to offend everyone else afterwards

By today's standards they shouldn't have made Forrest Gump at all but I mean even in 1994 they knew this was a dicey thing to do and they cast Tom Hanks because he was a veteran actor they trusted to make it seem like a sensitive performance

I mean God they only gave us glimpses in the trailer but those glimpses look *terrible*
