America has turned into an open sewer in just about every way.

My suggestion is to modify your tradition-— mass, hamburgers and a visit to an art museum.

The author has a problem with bathroom humor, but no problem with the Beatles? When they have a song called the Fool on the Hill and John Lenon saying this “Jesus El Pifico, a garlic-eating, stinking little yellow, greasy fascist bastard catholic Spaniard”

"". . . my hope would be for good reinforcement of moral values."

Hollywood ceased to have any moral values decades ago and society as a whole has now joined them in that lack of morality. It seems a little odd that anyone would expect moral values in something like "Minions" that Hollywood knows will be a big draw.

You can’t expect too much from most movies these days.

I'm really surprised that all of the minions were not actually gay and being suppressed by white male hetero normative Euro centric white privileged WASP ivy league college students. Go figure...

Did I leave out any piece of liberal idiocy. Let me know.

...and a trio of hypnotized guards who strip to their boxers to gyrate, twerking-style

They were playing a song from Hair, or at least I thought so at the time! So I took this as a joke on the nude scene from the play, which was big cultural news IN THE SIXTIES !!!

Just saw it incidentally. The grandkids thought it was too scary. I do agree with the amorality theme being conspicuous, but am I the only one that thought Scarlett was a riff on Hillary Clinton?

I just got back from watching Minions and thought it had enough adult laughs to keep me entertained, and nothing that I wouldn’t let my 5 year old watch, that is if my 18 year old was 5 again.

The Minions attached themselves to evil “bosses” throughout history, but in every case they end up inadvertantly destroying their evil boss. That to me says that they have a purpose that they themselves are not aware of, and that is as society’s “white blood cells” attaching themselves to evil and destroying it.
