    The new Disney+ series AGATHA ALL ALONG features a shot of a bare backside. But when the 1984 film SPLASH was added to the service a shot of a bare backside was removed. Mr. Disney, I ask you: Where is the line, re: butts?

    Revisited Roger Ebert’s review of SPLASH (1984) this morning and while I don’t agree with him that John Candy should’ve been the romantic lead in THIS film I would’ve loved to see him in a few more roles like it elsewhere.

    Splash puts on JAWS while we got some housework done. The vibe reminded me of being a kid, playing the movie on the 10-inch TV + VHS in my room while messing with LEGOs or drawing, looking up for the moments when someone was going to get vored or the shahk was back. 🦈

    Just discovered Roger Ebert's review of Splash, which positions that the main flaw with the film is that they should have switched Tom Hanks and John Candy's roles. Which is an absolutely wild take.

    Disney is rolling out Splash Mountain’s replacement, “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure,” based on Disney’s first Black princess. The ride was closed last year because of its connection to “Song of the South,” a racist film from 1946.

    Tomorrow is also the 40th Anniversary of one of my favorite movies - Splash! My mermaid fascination started young, around 3 years old, so my grandparents played Splash for me when they'd watch me sometimes. This movie had me CONVINCED that mermaids actually existed for YEARS.
