    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.
