Tomorrow's headline in Variety:

Ben Shapiro rumored to be in high-pitched talks to play all seven dwarfs in ~~anti-woke version of Snow White~~ 90 minute conservative temper tantrum.
- high-pitched talks
  
  ♥️
- high-pitched talks at 5000 words per minute*
  
  FTFY
  
  It's the high speed that lets you know he is right, and that the full-speed gish-gallop that runs over you is legitimately discourse...
They so badly want their own version of Hollywood.
- The problem is that so many of their movies are bad.
  
  Yet they'll still do incredibly well because the movie makers can launder money through churches, tax free, to buy all available tickets to give out for free to the church congregations. This then makes the movie appear to be better and more popular than it really is.
  
  You can’t criticize the movie without criticizing the message. If you criticize the message you’re not on their team. Not conforming to the team is a bannable offense.
  
  Sounds like they already have their own version of Hollywood then.
  
  We talking Hollywood or daily wire?
  
  Hollywood has had a 100 years to get good st making movies and around 90 years in they forgot how. Daily wore has only.has a few years. Maybe in 80 years they will start making good movies
Is that Ben Shapiro as Snow White?
- Ew. Who would want to kiss him?
  
  His alive and very much female doctor wife with whom he shares an address of residence. Checkmate.
  
  Guaranteed to stay unwoke; that sounds like a deal to me.
I think it's funny that Ben Shapiro failed as a Hollywood nepo baby. Do you know how much of a failure you have to be to do that?

OTOH Kudos to Ben for giving Ben in a wig a job
- Permanently Deleted
Sadly this probably still won’t anger the Hispanic vote.
Well, Ben, since as an almost forty year old grown man, you seem REALLY upset at a certain recent movie for being too "woke" or whatever, let's see how well your movie does as a failed screenwriter with a failed actress.

I'm not going to start throwing tantrums or burn anything, I'm just going to laugh at you in private.
Ah yes, Snow White and the Seventh Reich, a beloved children's story about how a mirror that considered an underage girl to be hot got her roofied and then taken advantage of while sleeping by the dude with the most privilege who instead ends up celebrated for rescuing her from her laborer immigrant household.

Honestly even without any alterations to the core plot this clearly has all the hallmarks of a conservative hit on their hands.

A little Triumph of the Will cinematography and some dog whistles thrown in, and they can't help but get everyone on Parler to buy a few copies each. (Literally, as the people there are suckers waiting to be parted with their bitcoins.)
- Hi ho
  Hi ho
  Arbeit macht frei du gehst
Being so wrong about the reception and mind shattering profits of the Barbie movie done gone made Benny Shaps a might bit parched for some of that movie moolah sizzurp in his real boy diet cola. I would actually watch this if it got pirated and entirely redubbed with Robert Evans doing all the characters voices as Ben.
- Ok with one change: H John Benjamin as Snow White’s voice actor.
  
  Jon as the mirror would be the best thing ever.
  
  yes please.
- With one exception. Robert needs to do the Magic Mirror in his Boston accent.
  
  Crap, I wanna say yes, but you know he's gonna swing for the fences with the Boston accent and it might lessen the weight of the many Ben impressions. That might have to be the directors cut version.
- No, you've gotta have Cody Johnston and Katy Stoll in there too!
So... a movie featuring a sleeping girl getting woken up for her happy ending is too woke?
- It's more a backlash against the Disney 'remake'...in quotation marks because rather than remaking it, it just sounds like they just did their own thing completely.
- Yes, she need to sleep forever, you can't cure poison with a kiss!
Lmao this is just sad.
Let them waste the money. A spite movie is pretty funny though. Straight out of Curb Your Enthusiasm
- Looking at the trailer, it seems pretty obvious they're not actually making this movie. It shows a single character for about 10 seconds of footage. My guess is they're doing this strictly for the headlines.
  
  Don't forget the donations
I thought Bob Clampett already made the right's preferred version of the story.
Over under on the dwarves being her happy slaves?
If you don't like make your own movie

No, not like that
- Oh no, I think all of us really want them to make their own movie. I know I can't wait to see them fuck that up.
- I just don’t get the joke they’re trying to make, like.. Ben in a wig doesn’t seem like a serious attempt at this, but I’m not even sure who it’s supposed to be hitting.
I’m sure Disney lawyers are having a field day.
- The Snow White story is public domain.
  
  They’re getting real close to the appearance of the Disney version, which isn’t public domain.
- What would they sue over...?
  
  It's a 300-year old story and a ton of Disney movies that come out are accompanied by like 4 dollar bin clones
- The Snow White story is not owned by Disney.
