Some 50 years since the film, it is ironic.

I wonder if they can realize the link between the communism they support in the outcomes they’re getting?

I literally don’t care, means nothing as it was nothing more than nostalgia for people who hate the average citizen. Sodom and Gomorrah is best burnt to the ground, not made into nostalgic historical landmarks for narcissists.

Trump should give California the relief package Biden gave to North Carolina, and give Biden’s California package to North Carolina.

Seems only fair.

I think I learned that too. Pretty sure I haven’t done so since that movie.

Good riddance to a place of insufferable liberal propaganda.

Carrie's mother in the movie was portrayed as an evangelical Christian, but some 50 years later, Carrie's mother is more like a democrat dei radical democrat liberal of today, IMO.

But look on the bright side at least there were four lesbians at the top levels of the LA fire department.

Progress!

When people expect logic from illogical, overpaid, uneducated people, they are always going to be disappointed

Maybe they p*ssed Carrie off enough again that SHE started the firestorm? ;) I wouldn’t want to cross her!

Man, that was one freaky movie. The ending (dream scene) had me jumping out of my skin, LOL!

Piper Laurie was always a favorite actress of mine. But, she had a well-deserved ending in the movie, too. ;)

You do know the reason it was called “Bates High School” don’t you?

Think about it, both movies were made by Universal Films.
