T/S: John Hughes vs. Judd Apatow

Biden-fan gabbneb characteristically obtuse about '80s capitalist ethos and backlash vs counterculture being related.

Reagan and mindlessness as the paramount value in mainstream entertainment are both SYMPTOMS of (de facto) unregulated capitalism; one didn't cause the other.

how do you explain Forrest Gump?

no, see i get which way they're related - backlash ridden by deregulators rather than deregulators somehow having diktat-like impact on mass culture

he doesn't understand forrest gump any better than he understands ferris bueller

In what context, kenan? I've never seen Gump and have no desire to.

(but I also find Clinton to be the most Reaganesque of RWR's successors)

xpost It's psychological horror.

Yesterday morning it was a perfectly decent thread. Now look at it.

it all comes down to "liberal" gabbneb's cognitive dissonance about his love for an ostensibly conservative film

that was discussed upthread (highly unlikely, to say the least)

i have less than zero invested in ferris bueller

i just like to point out mormonism

i spose i shouldn't waste my time on the easy stuff tho

hey there's no mormons in Less Than Zero!

this thread was insane, just insane
