Crocodile Dundee
It’s suddenly a movie about a weirdly elitist Australian talking down to a bunch of Australian expats.
7 daysIn a movie where the antagonist tries and fails to hunt down and kill a flightless bird? I could see it.
Sorcerer’s Stone.

I downvoted them because they used the americanised version, instead of the correct version that’s called Philosopher’s Stone.
I won’t be party to allowing those yanks to rewrite history anymore. IT’S UNCONSCIONABLE! IT’S IMMORAL. IT SMELLS LIKE STINKY CHEESE!!!

It’s either:
That the decision makers in hollywood didn’t think the original title had enough pizzazz so changed it to sorcerer to thrill it up a bit.
Or that american kids/parents just wouldn’t understand what the film was about from the title so dumbed it down for them.- 4 days
While I expect such interference in standalone films, wasn’t this the height of Harry Potter? They had a huge and dedicated fan base that would have gone to any movie in that series
Yes, she does. It’d be great. But pretending an insanely influential piece of media doesn’t exist doesn’t help us or the trans movement. Harry potter can exist and we can enjoy our memories of it without further contributing to it and boycotting all future sales. Fuck jk, fuck the franchise at this point, and fuck trabsphobes in general and specific. But the movies exist, they were good, and I wouldn’t spend a red cent on any any new HP material, but the memories are free.

The King’s Speech.
Although the Yes movie would be good too, just so it could be renamed “Yeah Nah Yeah”.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
No, I will not elaborate. But you can see it.
My puny, three-dimensional brain cannot fathom Australian Jar Jar Binks.
Crocodile Dundee, all of them. Make Paul hogan the least bogan of the cast.
Superman might be cool if only because it’d finally be something “different” but not “edgier”.

Like, Ma and Pa Kent still keep their origin but their son just inexplicably has an Australian accent? Maybe that’s how they all sound on Krypton

Wasn’t this almost a thing? Didn’t Mike Myers record almost all his lines with an Aussie accent before the last minute change? Or am I misremembering?

Captain America: Winter Soldier.
(As much for the Russian characters as the American ones)
