The Contrarians102 - Ever After

To all of you complaining about Disney’s “recent” trend of giving classic animated movies the live-action treatment, perhaps you should look back to 1998 and a little ditty called EVER AFTER. Listen to Alex and Julio as they tackle a Drew Barrymore vehicle that did away with all the magic in the Cinderella story. No fairy godmother, no singing mice, no charm in The Prince… but we get Leonardo DaVinci instead??? This is really when it all began to fall apart.

- Hans Rothgiesser, the man behind our logo, can be reached at @mildemonios on Twitter or you can email him at mildemonios@hotmail.com in case you ever need a logo (or comics) produced. And you can listen to him talk about Peruvian politics on his own podcast, NACION COMBI. Aaaaand you can also check out all the stuff he’s written on his own website. Don’t know Spanish? He also did a podcast in English called LIVING IN PERU, about immigrants in - where else - Perú. Oh, and as if that wasn’t enough, he has a new zombie novel out, REQUIEM POR LURÍN. Ask him about it!

Up next, we go back to the Travolta Well to see him play an angel in MICHAEL! In the meantime, let us know how you liked Ever After! Were we too harsh on The Prince? Are you as charmed by Drew as we are? Do you prefer your Cinderella with magic or not? E-mail us at wearethecontrarians@gmail.com or tweet at us or facebook us and share your thoughts!
