“Now, clearly I could have written a more “normal” review, in which I said something like: “Secretariat” was kind of fun to watch, but it bugged me. It presents a prettied-up, phony-baloney vision of America in the early ‘70s, in a transparent effort to appeal to the “family-values” crowd who ate up “The Blind Side” — people who want a comforting and unchallenging movie without any sex or swearing. There’s nothing wrong with that as a way to make a buck, but this example is ultra-tame, scrubbed clean of any genuine conflict or drama, and I pretty much think it’s crap.”

He sees a good and wholesome movie and hates it ... for being wholesome. For attesting to family values and not showing the dark side of society.

He hates what is good, and wants what is evil.

He probably hated Apollo 13 too. Three men alone in space. Where was the sex scene? At least a little zero-g (fill in the blank with your favorite perversion).
