Dang it ABC. Post Part 4.
Every time a network seems to do something right, they always end up pulling this kind of crap.
Your airwaves are free. This is ad supported. Stop withholding content.
Aint no way she 90 years old.
Lol Rita admitting she's white. Ppl forget that slavery in Puerto Rico is why there are afro Latinos. LATINOS in Rita's day were considered white in this country
I'm sorry, but I'm sick and tired of hearing all this crying about how racists everything is by those who are living a life only a few get to live.
ok yo
Box office bomb. Go woke, go broke.
New West Side Story:
1. Good idea to have Rita Marino inserted into the Steven Spielberg script of West Side Story
2. Best Actress role for Oscar nomination for Spielberg's version will be Maria (Rachel Zegler) and then Anita (Ariana DeBose) for supporting Oscar nomination. I think Rachel Zegler's acting for Maria, was better than Natalie Wood in Robert's Wise production.
3. Second choice for best supporting actress: Rita Marino. (yes again)
4. I did not like any of the character actors choice for either the Jets or Sharks in this Spielberg version.
5. I did not like the first act of the Spielberg version as much as the Robert Wise version, but the second act of Spielberg's version made up for the 1st act's shortcomings. Spielberg's first act of his movie was too, too, dark.
6. My choice for which movie was better would be the flawless 1st West Side Story. Robert Wise was the better Director in this for the 1st Movie version of the play. However the second act of Spielberg's version made tears come from my eyes, but don't tell anybody as I don't want my manhood questioned.
7. In the first movie the Jet gang gave respect for the little girl playing on the ground and walked around her play area. In the Spielberg version the Jets ripped up the little girls artwork on the ground. I could not get behind the Jets after that.
8. The dance scenes in both versions were equally good.
9. Spielberg claimed he did not want to copy the first, Robert Wise version, however he did in the opening. In the first, Wise version, we have an aerial shot flying over Manhattan, in Spielberg's version we have an aerial shot flying over the demolished section of the gang area with same intro music.
10. Spielberg's version of West Side Story, should be nominated for Best Picture Oscar this year, however from the WOKE Hollywood, they might choose another low budget foreign movie made with no whites in it, that nobody will see, for diversity's sake. Then that will remind me of Marxist Korean movie (looked like a college student made film) winning Best Picture over "1917" a real professional movie. And like Spielberg's movie, "Saving Private Ryan" that didn't win Best Picture, which it should have, over that terrible love movie, again, that nobody saw.
11. Why couldn't Spielberg use any other race besides Puerto Rican? That was a racist decision on WOKE Spielberg. High class acting is art, that a great actor could pull it off. Spielberg now denies race to play any role unless they are the same race of the character portrayed? This is a slam in the face of all actors. Example, he could have used actors from any South American country as long as they looked Puerto Rican. Come on man! Spielberg trying to be WOKE is a racist to all other promising actors.
13. What was this freak dark character tranny character that used to be a tom boy girl in the Robert Wise motive? We could see in the Robert Wise movie that this was a tom boy girl. However in this movie, we don't know who this scary creature from hell was in Spielberg's version. Spielberg was again trying to be WOKE by picking a tranny freak character from this years 2021 to by making the LGBTQ people happy. That demonic freak character was a bust.
Loved singing along this gorgeous and amazing movie! Love the reordering of some sings, more motivated where they were inserted. The Spielberg details, balance, light, viewpoint…and the gentle wind blowing in Maria's window at just the right moment…
Rock Hudson reads the nominees?! He was my grandmother’s mailman in Illinois! Lol. 2:37
Rita Moreno is the only original cast from west side story was present on the remake.
In defiance of the squares at ABC, I would like to inform everyone here that Rita's ACTUAL WORDS WERE
"Are there hookers in Houston? OF COURSE I WANT HIM TO CALL ME!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
3:45 😂
❤️❤️❤️
I love this movie I watched the original version many times.
hey what about some coverage on the JETS!!!!????? damn
They made Rita Moreno darker than she actually was for this movie, this new movie they are just dark, hahaha what a fucking world.
What happened to Part 4? I want to see!! 🤩😭
SPOILERS Alert!
I had no idea Rita was in 'The King and I'. She's great, but c'mon Rita, what's wrong with doing cameo ?
I thinks its interesting that Rita Moreno who experienced colorism but had an issue with the InThe Heights valid backlash for its colorism. Legend yes but she seems to address colorism when it suits her
Ariana DeBose… I am in tears.
Where is part 4? Can’t find it
Part 4??

I loved the movie and I was a little sad that it wasn’t based off the movie but I’m excited to see this movie take a different route. I’m very excited to see this movie
