The Shawshank Redemption’s political subtext just seems so utterly naive today - and Forest Gump’s is downright alt-historical.
Speed is just cop-prop, Interview With A Vampire glorifies yet another Antebellum South slave owner, The Crow is just right-wing revenge fantasy in goth clothing, and Ace Ventura’s gross transphobia is so fucking ick it might just as well be used as a TERF training documentary.
Oh, and Maverick just wasn’t that good to start off with.

Sooo… “meh” is still generous, methinks.
Wow. Those are some truly bad takes.
Really? What about them is bad?
