          If I were to liken some of those movies to food, I’d definitely say Forrest Gump is the pink slime of movies.

        The Shawshank Redemption’s political subtext just seems so utterly naive today - and Forest Gump’s is downright alt-historical.

        Speed is just cop-prop, Interview With A Vampire glorifies yet another Antebellum South slave owner, The Crow is just right-wing revenge fantasy in goth clothing, and Ace Ventura’s gross transphobia is so fucking ick it might just as well be used as a TERF training documentary.

        Oh, and Maverick just wasn’t that good to start off with.

        Sooo… “meh” is still generous, methinks.
