“A Satanic love story”–they actually expect it to succeed.
[Thanks to Susan for the nooze tip]
Hey! How about this for a story! Teenage girl falls in love with Satan and he, like, knocks her up! I mean, how about that for Adult Entertainment for an adult audience?
That’s what Disney Corp. is working on now, for Disney-Plus (https://insidethemagic.net/2023/04/disney-plus-new-satanic-love-story-pauline-jh1/). It’ll be “a new exciting direction” for the schlockmeisters: a real “coming of age movie.” Blah-blah-blah.
It’s not even original. It’s a knockoff of a German TV show. Pregnant with the Devil’s baby! (Ira Levin, wherever you are–are you hearing this?)
The movie will be called Pauline. The lass finds Climbit Change “weighing on her mind” (presuming she has one), so naturally she strikes up a romance with Satan.
Poor Old Scratch: he went from Paradise Lost to… this. He’ll wind up as an attraction on the Jersey boardwalk if he doesn’t watch out.
Disney, Disney! They just don’t learn, do they? Box office bomb after box office bomb, each one woker than the last–how the devil (if you’ll excuse the expression) do they stay in business?
Inquiring minds want to know!
