You have some valid points about these films, and RUIN IT ALL with a screed about Trump. I can promise you in 10-20 years, you will be embarrassed by how you can't discuss ANYTHING without dragging contemporary politics into it. BTW: the very term "pandemic" means worldwide -- Trump had no power over other nation's plans. Also, those plans did not magically disappear just because he didn't use them -- they had to be online, PDFs or in the hands of their creators ... so where are they???? strange how they magicked out of sick (*likely because they were useless anyways).
As for Hillary and Kamala: they were terrible candidates. It had nothing to do with them being WOMEN. I'm a woman and a feminist (and a Democrat) and could not vote for either of them. (Nothing to do with a shrill unpleasant laugh, either). Hillary called 50% of the voters "deplorables in a basket". Kamala couldn't run in a primary and win (when she tried, she got less than 1% of the vote). Both were "anointed" by their parties. Trump, no matter how you loathe him... actually ran in primaries 3 times and WON the nomination. That's something.
And your insane hypocrisy here in dunking on this film (properly) for being misogynoir and using the incredibly ancient slur of "witches" on older or homely women... but you turn around and do the same thing to a politician "you don't like". If Trump is wrong, then he is wrong for REASONS -- not because he's old (*you were OK with Biden being even older!) or ugly or "senile". BTW: anyone who actually has dealt with dementia in their family... knows how incredibly offensive it is to use it as a political slur. People with dementia are not merely kooky or politically off the rails... they can't remember where they live or how to make coffee, they forget their own loved one's faces. You should be ashamed of dragging this into a MOVIE REVIEW.
Normally I would simply say "Thank you for commenting." I'll start with that. Thank you for commenting. twice.
But I would also caution you, as if it matters, not to make assumptions. My father lived with dementia for 12 years. Dementia he was diagnosed with in his sixties. I wouldn't have wanted him to be in charge of anything either. So yeah, great dunk there. I know what the symptoms look like.
You are also on a site that is explicitly an atheist take on film and popular culture, one that revels in the ability to say things editors don't allow. If you read anything here, you will see that I drag anything I like in at any time. If that's shameful to you, I suggest reading someone else.
Except these are movie, made by men (even if Mary Shelley actually wrote the original Frankenstein novel)... with male biases against any woman who is older, not beautiful or "pleasing" in the ways that men like. Maybe it is men picking the bear. Anyways, none of this actually related to real life.
