I fully believe she faced hostility and pushback over that speech for years to come; if you watch the video of it, you can hear audience members booing in the middle of it, with other audience members quickly starting to applaud and cheer in a show of support.

It’s been stupid time for a long, long time...

If you really want to flip a car, try a Yugo; those things are notoriously light.

Different people will process that movie in different ways. To me it was a grueling exploration of what Christ suffered leading up to his crucifixion, but there were moments so over the top and/or on the nose that it broke the suspension of disbelief periodically. (The antisemitic tropes that were used didn’t help…

As someone with no stomach for gore or violence, I may not be entirely qualified to comment, but The Passion of Joan of Arc pierced deeply into my soul and left me unsettled for days afterwards.

Ah, so that’s what Fitz is up to now. It’s good to see Iain De Caestecker get a challenging starring role.

Sound of Freedom is at least a half-step ahead of the game, then, since it’s loosely based on a loosely true story.

It certainly would be possible to make a sequel without the main character and star of the first film; it’s unusual, but not entirely unheard of.

I’ll admit I’ve never had turtle soup, but if it’s done correctly, deer meat is very good. So, no, I won’t apologize for eating Bambi’s mom.

Nah, Hollywood is nothing if not efficient at copying success. Next year will see a flood of MAGA-friendly movies ending with an impassioned plea to buy more tickets now or the evil commie pedos will win.

Dolly Parton is a cult member?

Well, Roku does have Weird: The Al Yankovic Story going for it, at least.

Yeah, how dare people change their minds. Don’t they know that’s a sign of weakness? You should never ever change your mind, ever, and if you do, just change it and deny that you ever thought any differently. Personal growth and honesty is so 20th century.

Kotaku reached out to STPeach for comment.

I hope it’s not a serious breach of internet etiquette to reply to one’s own comment, but I didn’t know where else to put this:

Critics being wrong about a horror movie when it came out that later becomes a beloved classic? That never happens!

That was an informative video, but he didn’t seem very angry.

Yeah, the story was pedestrian and at times oddly paced, but the performances were all solid and the animation and characterizations were fun, and it even had some decent emotional moments. Not a deathless classic, but an enjoyable family-friendly monster comedy.

It’s been 30 years, so my memory could easily be at fault, but I remember Bram Stoker’s Dracula being critically panned on release as a self-indulgent mess. Was the consensus wrong back then, or does it just look better now after decades of mostly conformist, safe filmmaking?
