So based on the selections that were suggested it seemed like doing one exceptional movie versus a Hollywood turd was the popular look. So I’ve paired up the movies to be as themed as possible as a good versus godawful comparison.
-
Jurassic Park versus Godzilla (1998)
-
Jaws versus Deep Blue Sea
-
Top Gun versus Pearl Harbor
-
War Games versus Hackers

Is “west-coaster” a slur yet?
I don't know. "Californian" is. "Oregonian" and "Washingtonian" might be if you're in Idaho or Montana.
Only a matter of time I suppose. And to be fair those places are right to be distrustful of us.
Oh Californian has been a hilarious slur to military guys like me that were stationed on the west coast. Nothing is as “culturally” eye opening as a midwesterner (me) seeing a black female Mandingo fight on a trolly while a bum pisses in a corner.
Yeah probably funny in the moment, until you realize that's going to be your hometown in 20 years.
Watching home movies from the 80s and observing the racial composition then compared to what it is in that same town today was a real eye opener and basically on the spot made me an unwilling "demographics is destiny" race realist.
