While posting and commenting in this community, you must abide by the Lemmy.World Terms of Service: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

  1. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, or advocating violence will be removed.

  2. Be civil: disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally insult others.

  3. Spam, self promotion, trolling, and bots are not allowed

  4. Shitposts and memes are allowed until they prove to be a problem.

    Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.

    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Failure to follow these guidelines will result in your post/comment being removed and/or more severe actions. All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. We ask that the users report any comment or post that violates the rules, and to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting.

The Shawshank Redemption would also like a word.

Goodfellas: (clears throat)

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 27 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I mean it was a good year for movies overall

In addition to Shawshank there was Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction it was up against.

The real tragedy was Saving Private Ryan losing it to fucking Shakespeare in Love 🤮

Forrest Gump was a terrible movie. It's just boomer masturbation.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

It wasn't a terrible movie in my opinion but it was absolutely a boomer masturbation.

Including some pretty relentless bigotry and whitewashing pretending to be inclusive.

Wait is that fucking true? That total bullshit. I couldn't get through 3 minutes of that Shakespeare movie.

As much as it enrages me to say so, yes 🤢
