Collider Celebrates Snow White Box Office as Major Victory for Rachel Zegler

Helen Mirren Blasts James Bond Films for Objectifying Women Before Immediately Objectifying Former 007 Actor
Dame Helen Mirren is making headlines for her remarks about James Bond that some say raise eyebrows due to an apparent contradiction. In a recent interview, Helen Mirren described the long-running James Bond franchise as being stuck in outdated portrayals of women—calling it, in her words, “drenched” in antiquated attitudes.

A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes: A “What If?” Ponder About Snow White’s Massive Fail by LW Ghost
When Pro contacted me about being on The Pro Show this week (which as you read this you know I happily agreed to do), I innocently asked him “So what’s up?” and what I meant by that was “Hey, we KNOW the stockholder call was garbage, we KNOW Snow White is a goner, so is there any NEW outrageous dumbness from the Mouse coming up?”
But before we move on from here, I thought maybe, just maybe, you’d not be utterly surfeited (is that a word?) with the no-business-like-Snow-business story to join me on a little journey into the “What if?” universe and consider what could have been (and this is NOT yet another review of the awful film because I famously HATE reviews that tell you what the reviewer WOULD have made instead of dealing with what is there on the screen).
