Why?

The whole thing is about tricking women to sleep with them. It’s all crude sexual jokes, plus some jokes about gay people and minorities. I happen to love the movie, but in todays woke world it would not be received well as benign as it is- perhaps this is why we don’t have funny movies anymore and everything is a superhero movie with no substance.

American pie would also never be made, particularly the first movie where they film the exchange student unknowingly over a webcam.

Sometimes I wonder if Republicans like you (I’m NoT a RePuBlIcAn) just don’t read books. Or magazines. Or newspapers. Or if you just sleep through entire conversations. Maybe you just don’t have conversations of any meaning. Because I gotta wonder who lives in 2022 and still uses “woke” as some sort of a slur.

Lol. I’m far from a republican. I’m a democrat, interned for Chuck schumer back when I was interested in politics, never voted R in my life and likely never will based on where the party is at. But I’m also not a woke AOC democrat and think cancel culture has gone too far. I’m a bill Maher democrat, but you do you.

Right, a Republican.

DP. And I hate Bill Maher, but I am generally also like PP. VERY liberal, will never vote R. Think woke-ness has gone too far. Have a running joke with a group of politically active friends about wokeness actually. It feels a little self deprecating as we're all a little woke ourselves, but not woke enough according to some liberal groups I'm in! This all or nothing purity test is a real problem TBH.

Sorry, but no. When you repeatedly bleat “wokeness,” you out yourself as an imbecile. Don’t worry. You’ll fight right in with the GOP.

Pro tip for next time: Actual liberals don’t call themselves “woke.”

absolutely- there is literally a sexual assault scene that is supposed to be funny and feel-good, when the hot boyfriend give the geeky braces dude permission to rape his girlfriend in a "im taking you under my wing" effort

Why this one? African dancing sequence?

lol no. Renting[b] the popular girl!

IDK, i could see a remake with a more diverse cast. Bribing someone to hang out with you is of course improper, but they all learn lessons about it in the end.

Haha. True. As a teen in the 80s, I loved this movie. But, as it turns out - on top of the hugely problematic blackface issue - it's not that great of a movie. But, ultimately its heart was in the right place. He's a privileged white kid who isn't going to get to go to Harvard because his parents are selfish. So he puts on some chemically induced blackface to get free tuition. But that lets him see some of the challenges for black people that were invisible to him. He gets to meet the black woman who would have gotten the scholarship if he hadn't taken it and see the struggles she's facing and why it would be better if she had been the scholarship recipient. And, when James Earl Jones comments on his learning what it means to be black, C. Thomas Howell says, not really - because he could go back to being white any time he wants.

The movie was teaching us about white privilege before that was a phrase that many people used.

The Dictator (Sasha Baron Cohen) - so politically incorrect, and totally hilarious! You could never get away with that humor today.

Gremlins pitched as a kid movie, Pg rating.

Actually is a pg13+ horror movie

Song of the south.

No smiling or singing or folklore allowed.

They could remake it for a trans adolescent getting blockers, hormone and affirmative therapy, facilitated by the school.

White Chicks. Terry Crews and Jennifer Carpenter were really funny.

You are super annoying and the fringe like you is the reason people associate the whole party with virtue signaling and cancel culture. Sorry you are triggered by being negatively associated with wokeness. DP democrat. Your extremeness and that of the GOPs are both exhausting.

Yeah, and Jake Ryan says of his passed-out girlfriend, “I could violate her ten different ways if I wanted to.” Then he passes her along to Farmer Ted and implies it’s Ted’s right to do whatever he wants to her.”

Molly Ringwald also talks about the scene in The Breakfast Club where it’s implied that Bender touches her under the desk. Watching that with her kids…
