@Kermit1 Yeah, they added a bunch of stuff today to Disney+. Watched it during lunch, had Italian sandwiches too, lol. Later going to watch Thor Love and Thunder, last time I saw it was in the theater.

@Sunsy I have not seen the new Thor (Mainly because I feel really bad for the all the animators working 8 day weeks) I'll give it a watch tomorrow maybe if they have not added any new legacy content or I might let my Dad watch MASH on the TV again like he does every night.

@Kermit1 Enjoy it when you do. Funnily enough, my mom was watching MASH the other night, lol.

@Sunsy MASH is so re-watchable, "there's a little Tuttle left in all of us".

Just saw the new Pinocchio as well. It was... fine.
Certainly didn't hate it, and I actually loved the first 15 minutes before Pinocchio goes off to school, but I prefer Disney's animated classic by a long shot. Pretty much everything was done better in the original I think.
Still, it was good enough for a one-time watch.

The wife and I started to watch films which are connected through actors, so for instance I started with Django Unchained, and used Leonardo Di Caprio to watch Catch me if you can, then used Tom Hanks to go to The Terminal, then used Catherine Zeta Jones to watch Legend of Zorro.
I started it a few years back and have not crossed the streams (either using the same film or same actor more than once) I have found quite a few obscure (for good reason) films just for a connection to a film I wanted to watch, for instance watched V for Vendenta used Stephen Fry to get to a film called The Brits are Coming (AWFUL) to use Crispin Glover to get to Back to the Future

The Clint Eastwood one is a bit odd, but Anne Giradot has been around forever so I was looking for a film that was a lot older than the Piano Teacher starring her, and it was one with Rowdy in it!!!

@Mioaionios That's fine. Speaking of the beginning. I thought it was interesting they went into how Geppetto had a son he missed. Which was something I did not expect to be mentioned, he practically had a photo of a boy dressed similarly to Pinocchio, and he was talking how he missed him. So I'm guessing Geppetto's original son passed away from something.

Still surprised they revisited a scrapped idea for the ending. As soon as Pinocchio started to move after being washed up on shore I was like "wow, they actually restored the alternate ending." The alternate ending's storyboards were on the Platinum Edition DVD (where I saw it) and the Extras section on Disney+ for the original 1940 movie.

@Sunsy
Yup, I liked that extra backstory of Geppetto.
The new ending puzzled me to be honest. It's like they forgot the point of the story. Oh well.

@Mioaionios That's the one downside I have, you have to look really carefully at Pinocchio as he walks away. He does turn into a real boy, it's just not as clear as I'd like to see it. Give the extra for the original 1940 a watch, it's two minutes long, and shows similar storyboards.

@Sunsy
Just saw that alternate ending on Disney+. Thanks for pointing me towards it. Surprising they went with that angle in the remake. Though, as you said, Pinocchio's transformation really should have been clearer in the remake. Not going to lie, I missed it.

@Mioaionios You're welcome, now you see why I was surprised by that ending being used. I agree, it would have been nice to see it. I had to rewind twice to make sure I didn't miss anything.

@Kermit1 Fun fact about that adaptation, the boy who plays Pinocchio in that, actually is the voice of Pinocchio in the Kingdom Hearts games, as in the original Disney Pinocchio.

Morbius (Netflix) - I actually thought this was pretty okay. It's certainly not the most unique CBM out there & pretty derivative, but it's also not the trainwreck I was expecting based on the memes. I think it may have been a bit more enjoyable had they been able to go a bit harder on the gruesome vampire stuff with an R-rating, but as a Spider-Man adjacent property there's no way that was ever going to happen.

Pinocchio (Disney+) - The new one that everyone else is talking about. It certainly has the look & seems to carry the kind of polish you'd expect from a Disney production, but it just doesn't feel like it has any passion to it. Kinda started to tune out by the end (& did they need to change Monstro from a whale to a literal sea monster). My favorite part of it was probably all the little cuckoo clock cameos in the beginning of the film.
