‘Depressingly Regressive and Borderline Dangerous’
So these movie critics are no longer even pretending to review movies based on their merit while actually judging them as to whether their content serves the Communist (uh, “[Progressive”) Party Line, which is the usual modus operendi of the MSM move critics.
Now they’re issuing actual overt warnings as to whether a movie is “dangerous” to the Communist (uh “Progressive”) Party or is “regressive” with respect to Communist /”Progressive” ideology. Fundamentally, this ideological approach to movie reviewing is no different than the lists of “forbidden” movies that the Catholics used to put out. Which is why I no longer pay one whit of attention to MSM movie reviewers, but instead seek sites where actual viewers post their opinions of a movie.
BTW, how can a film be “dangerous” or “regressive” in a truly free society with true freedom of speech and freedom of thought? The answer of course is they can’t. Only in a society dedicated to unity of thought as approved by the central authorities can movies be “dangerous” or “regressive”. You know, like in the old Soviet Union, where all movies were banned for those very reasons if they disagreed with the official Party Line.
I occasionally use them as a gauge to determine what to see. I use the 180 degree rule. If they hate it, I'll check into it. If they love it (remember "Brokeback Mountain?"), I'll skip it.
