Wow. Yup. This sums up the death of comedy pretty nicely. And save your WOKE grandstanding if you don't mind. Don't assume.
 
Revisiting ‘American Beauty,’ The Worst Best Picture Winner Of The Modern Era

This is one of those many times I wish Old Doc Naysay was still doling out his wisdom. His distaste for Crash was the stuff of legends. On to this...is this revisit/review correct? Technically...yeah probably. Is it fair? I'm not sure. Are there problematic elements...well, yeah! Was kinda the point. And I think, no matter how poorly bungled or less woke story choices seem now, at the time this was about as WOKE as movies were. And it wasn't a drama, it was a dark comedy. Kevin Spacey + the evil closeted dad(btw, how about the subtext that current events add to that), makes that a little ewwwwwww in the rearview mirror. But does it invalidate this movie?

Thoughts?
 


That cast!!!!!! And Chris Moltisante didn't even get a namecheck. Nic Cage is truly a...wait for it...National Treasure
