The lesson though is: even though it IS objectively a BAD movie. The younger generation will called you OLD and STUPID for not getting it. And they will both outnumber your generation in fanatical worship of something, and also never ever be wrong.
i saw that awful movie my senior year of high school. i don't really care for most modern star wars stuff. i only like rogue one because it had the nads to kill everyone. i haven't bothered to watch andor, even though all the wokelibs are telling me it's a wonderful metaphor for our current politics. as if we need metaphors to understand current events.

i do like that new show Pluribus, though. i am so tired of remakes and superheroes.

all of it is escapism, obviously, but that sorta political content is like The West Wing, to me. it is meant to keep people in check. if I wanted to watch a show that is violently topical, I will just pretend Mirphy Brown is still on the air
