4 thoughts on “A film to avoid: Crimson Peak

  1. I’ve just had a minor epiphany. Of late I have been gravitating towards watching films that I showed no interest in as a child; cowboy films, war films, thrillers from the fifties and anything similar. I’ve just realised why – it’s not because I am falling into a (very) premature dotage, it’s because these films seek only to entertain me, not to ‘re-educate’ or ‘reform’ me in the new femsupremacist mode.

    For all of their CGI and briliant effects, more recent films are about as entertaining as a rat nibbling blancmange while someone reads aloud from Jessica Valenti’s third autobiography. Once you’ve sat through one 3D feminist-ignited, ‘strong-woman’ propane explosion you’ve seen them all (and wish you hadn’t seen so many as one).

  2. From the review (re. the director):

    He’s always joked that the core of him is a 12-year-old girl … ‘

    Or perhaps attracted to the same? I’m not sayin’, just thinkin’, like.

  3. Thanks for the warning. It’s getting harder and harder to find a movie that hasn’t been tainted by some kind of attempt to re-educate us all. I haven’t been to a movie in about a year and last week I went to see “The Martian”. I felt like some sci-fi and it had decent reviews, but the re-education was there as well. In it’s case it was a more subtle but it was there.
