It was a joke but now it's a 2023 dating documentary |
These are classics! |
I know, casual racism and misogny definitely is "art". |
That is, quite literally, one of the things that is troubling about it. We love Jake, yet he is TERRIBLE and lets his gf get date raped! Gross. |
The entire point of having a more critical view of these older movies is that we absorb an ENORMOUS amount of racism subconsciously. So if you notice the cringy parts, ok. But you are still probably absorbing damaging cultural messaging. |
I would show anything from my childhood era to my kids so long as it wasn’t rated R like the Texas chainsaw massacre, Poltergeist movies etc. |
I've very purposely avoided rewatching this movie as an adult. My family used to watch the VHS often and I have fond memories of it...but I know that it must have aged horribly. The barn raising scene was great though. |
Poltergeist is rated PG. |
One of the older articles about this:
"It's okay to like problematic things" https://urge.org/its-okay-to-like-problematic-things/ |
I tried to watch it with my young adult kids and they were horrified. It’s amazing how we were socializing to overlook so much. We turned it off after 20 minutes. |
Why? |
Meatballs
SA, bullying |
What’s wrong with poltergeist? |
