¶”Disney Turns Away From Animated Movies after the Deaths of Walt and Roy Disney”

Give the format a rest for a generation, rather than pound it into the ground? Seems like an inspired decision. Better take a break and comeback fresh.

¶”Michael Cimino Kills the Seventies Auteur Period With ‘Heaven’s Gate’”

It was very long, but it wasn’t terrible. The “Seventies Auteur Period” had to end some time.

¶”‘American Beauty’ Wins Best Picture in 1999 Over About 400 Better Movies.”

True. It was junk.

¶”‘Howard The Duck’ Nearly Kills the Marvel Cinematic Universe Before it Even Begins”

It was a horrible movie, but who thinks of it as a Marvel movie? And would it have been a bad thing if it had spared us dozens of Marvel movies?

¶”‘Cats’ Experiments With Digital Fur”

Crummy movie, but to be fair, not all the actors could grow real fur.

¶”‘Once Upon a Time In America’ Cut Beyond Recognition For Its American Release”

That was a serious mistake.

¶”Racist Movie ‘The Conqueror’ Gives Its Cast Cancer, Probably Definitely Kills John Wayne”

A bad movie, but racist? Grow up.

Disney being stupid is the norm.

¶”Michael Cimino Kills the Seventies Auteur Period With ‘Heaven’s Gate’”

It sucked. First movie I ever walked out on. The theatre manager let us choose another movie for free and said almst no one has managed to finish watching it.

¶”‘American Beauty’ Wins Best Picture in 1999 Over About 400 Better Movies.”

This one has baffled me for decades. It was terrible. I don't think I have managed to see it all yet.

*Howard the Duck Nearly Kills the Marvel Cinematic Universe Before it Even Begins”

I actually love this movie. It isn't good by any means but it is a fun movie for me to watch. Its a so bad its good movie for me.

¶”‘Cats’ Experiments With Digital Fur”

Did anyone ever see the play? I swear you had to be high on mushrooms to understand it. And they thought it would be a hit movie??

¶”‘Once Upon a Time In America’ Cut Beyond Recognition For Its American Release”

Brutal movie with 2 extended rape scenes but the longer movie is great story telling. The cut version was trash.

¶”Racist Movie ‘The Conqueror’ Gives Its Cast Cancer, Probably Definitely Kills John Wayne”

The movie sucks but calling it racsist is just stupid.

“A bad movie, but racist? Grow up.”

Then smearing John Wayne as a white supremacist. I’d argue with the claim fallout killed Wayne. He was a 3 pack a day chain smoker.
