Only Pulp Fiction and Natural Born Killers stood the test of time - the rest is just meh.

Are you really trying to say The Shawshank Redemption and Forest Gump are just "meh"?

[-] Surp@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

What they really trying to say is they like tasteless foods.

If I were to liken some of those movies to food, I'd definitely say Forrest Gump is the pink slime of movies.

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.

[-] masquenox@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Really? What about them is bad?
