Leftist Lunatics at TCM Examine ‘Problematic’ Film Classics in New Series

Loving classic films can be a fraught pastime. Just consider the cultural firestorm over “Gone With the Wind” this past summer.

Guess what morons, people want to watch the films, not listen to a bunch of smug leftist elitists have “discussions.” The left destroys everything it touches and now it is going to remove the joy of just enjoying the old films on TCM. I also HATE the way the people speak. It is cloying, condescending, and almost always devoid of any real intellect.

“We know millions of people love these films,” said TCM host Jacqueline Stewart, who is participating in many of the conversations. “We’re not saying this is how you should feel about ‘Pyscho’ or this is how you should feel about ‘Gone with the Wind.’ We’re just trying to model ways of having longer and deeper conversations and not just cutting it off to ‘I love this movie. I hate this movie.’ There’s so much space in between.”
