RE: Really?

Posted by Dr Phibes on January 27, 2018 at 02:27:07:
We liked The Shape of Water very much.... Get Out? Not so much....

Get Out was good, in a superficial kind of way ... To me, it was a combination of The Stepford Wives and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.

I avoid Hollywood films or events - that feel like a preachy homework assignment for Liberal leanings... that I probably already have. I don't read the Huffington Post or watch The Young Turks for the same reason. It feels intellectually self - indulgent to me.

If we "...celebrate and protest the events of current times..." then make a To Kill a Mockingbird (or Network or a Dr Strangelove) and I would hope that most of us would stand in line to buy a ticket - because the film was entertaining as well as socially significant.

Thanks to all who wrote in this thread- Have a great day.
