Are you really trying to say The Shawshank Redemption and Forest Gump are just “meh”?

What they really trying to say is they like tasteless foods.

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.
