Same! I think I liked it more than my DD, which is not saying much. The Bruno song is catchy in an ear worm way but the movie itself felt so thin. Also, we are Latino and something about the cultural portrayal bugged me. I guess it's the way it leaned hard into certain stereotypes. It felt corny to me and I feel like the family dynamics left no one to root for at all. It just kind of felt like a bummer.

But we just don't get into Disney movies much at all anyway. We've tried Frozen, Moana, Luca, now Encanto, and while DD likes dressing up like Elsa, she's never asked to watch any of them again and actively panned Moana and Encanto (she found Moana too scary and Encanto boring). I feel similar about them all as I do about a lot of the Marvel movies -- they are formulaic, the characters are weak, and the climax of the movie is often the part where I am most bored and restless. But at least the Marvel movies are sometimes funny.

I don't think Caitlyn Jenner should claim to be an Olympic gold-medal winning decathlete. Bruce Jenner was awarded that Olympian distinction, not Caitlyn Jenner. And Caitlyn looks like a man.

OMG, please go back to Florida/Texas. Caitlin and Bruce are the same person, you dumbass.

No. They are not the same person. Bruce Jenner no longer exists. And Caitlyn Jenner was not the recipient of any Olympic gold medal. There's no record of her even being in the Olympics.

Meghan and Harry are pretty ordinary now that they have removed themselves from the UK.

I agree, but given that it is a huge moneymaker for everyone involved, it will never happen. For the same reasons, the NFL Draft is now a red carpet, network primetime event, which I think is incredibly stupid. BUT it's now a money-making venture and won't stop unless the dollars dry up.

NFL is the US’s biggest pro sport - CFB is arguably just as popular or even more so in certain areas - so the draft is an intersection of both sports plus a reality TV component when a prospect starts to fall in the draft or a team makes a reach or a last-minute trade. Idk as a football fan I definitely see the appeal. Plus it’s a way to give people NFL content in the middle of the off season. It’s really only the first day/first round that’s a red carpet circus, not the whole thing.

+1 It’s actually amazing that it was as low profile an event as it was for so long. It started at 8 am on Saturday and was only on ESPN for the longest time.

+1 I love the first night of NFL draft. Love the back stories. There’s an audience for it so they do it. That’s why ESPN has 24/7 sports center and 4-5 different channels. May not be for you but they have the numbers.

PP and I'm not disagreeing with the fact that there are people who will watch it. I'm certainly not interested, but I don't care about the NFL generally. I'm pointing out the silliness of making it a red carpet event, with celebrities in attendance being asked "what are you wearing?" and all that nonsense. Once the event becomes about something larger than the event itself -- that is, once there are interested sponsors and fashion houses and movie studios, all treating it like a big opportunity for promotion -- then it's very unlikely to go away, no matter what I or anyone else thinks about it.

That said, since the point of this post is unpopular opinions and mine apparently now qualifies, I'll give it: caring that much about a drafting event for professional sports is incredibly dumb, and you all need better hobbies.

Meh. No different than Golden Globes, Oscars, SAG, Grammys, MTV Music Awards, CMAs. One person’s love for country music stars is another person’s love for NFL.

I don’t even like football much, but I love seeing the back stories and the excitement of these young kids’ lives changed forever.

There's a difference between award shows honoring art (not that I think those are necessarily worth the millions of viewers they get each year) and what is essentially HR announcing its hiring decisions.

(Also, LOL at everyone jumping in to prove that my opinion is unpopular? Isn't that the point of this thread?)

We just think your reasoning to having this unpopular opinion is rooted in racism. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think JLO and Ben will break up again soon.

I think 1960s music is the best music.

I think Mia Farrow is a loon.

Agree about Beyonce. Can’t stand her or her husband.

No! Give me old any day! The new woke stuff sucks!

The old stuff was racist and misogynistic and disgusting. Have you watched any of that shit recently? there have been several we had to turn off because they were so inappropriate for young children.

For example?? I don't get it. You are really stretching for content now.

The Siamese stereotype cats. The racist stereotype of black people crows. The entirety of Song of the South.

This information is readily available on that phone you’re holding. Ignorance in the age of information is a choice.

Ohhh, I miss those cats and the crows. I love those! I’m going to have to watch the old Disney’s this weekend.

LOLOL what?? Please explain to me how my distaste for the NFL draft being a red carpet, primetime event is rooted in racism. I am genuinely curious.
