• Wasn't the #Cancelnetflix hashtag started by people (with the analysis depth level of a kiddy pool and destroying a WOC filmmaker's career in the process) reacting to Mignones instead of Mulan? especially since Mulan is hosted on Disney+ and not Netflix... -Gouleg🛋️ (Talk • Contribs) 14:21, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
  • You're right, Rebestalic confused the hashtags (and blame me and the Signpost reviewers for the oversight). Fixed. igordebraga ≠ 14:57, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

1984 Dune

"reviled"??? Most people who dislike the David Lynch version wouldn't go so far as to say "reviled" (such a strong word). Stranger still when there are a lot of people who actually like it (it has a strong cult following), and even the director of the new film, Denis Villeneuve, is taking a number of cues from that version. Detractors are more baffled, frustrated, and annoyed by many choices in that film, but "reviled" isn't usually the adjective. — al-Shimoni (talk) 13:29, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

The adjective might have been too strong, but the movie certainly has a mostly bad reputation even if with a share of fans - the opposite of the other movie I raised on that write-up, Blade Runner, which was negatively received upon release but then gained a fandom, was influential, and became hailed as a masterpiece. Anyway, sorry if you felt my choice of words was inadequate. igordebraga ≠ 17:58, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
