The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

Didn't realize there was a 4k release. Still hoping Frauds and Welcome to Woop Woop by this director get a blu.

But…

It’s a nightmare of political incorrectness now.

You can’t call a trans person a ‘tranny’. See Ru Paul, drag race, and one contestant saying ‘ the use of the words ‘she-male,’ ‘ladyboy,’ and ‘tranny’ are not cute at all’.

Deadnaming. RALPH!

Mail order bride jokes.

Child molester reference - Gary Glitter.

I’m sure there are plenty of other culturally insensitive jokes that will have certain people baying for blood, like the depictions of aborigines and women, as racist and misogynistic.

But then plenty of old Bond movies probably upset some people for ***** Galore/Plenty O’Toole jokes.

I think the movie is a hoot. Also a) being a comedy and b) not a Hollywood movie, none of our ‘heroes’ die and there’s a happy ending. Quite an achievement.

The thing is that the people that complain about films like this really don't need to watch it. No one is forcing them.

Yeah….Svet has always been a reviewer I take with a grain of salt and I can normally gloss over his personal takes but his constant use of “trash” and wishing it was more like Showgirls was quite….trash. They need to start offering alternate reviews of everything he reviews, for those of us not looking for a refill of his prescriptions.

The only thing that's "trash" is Svet himself. Absolutely useless reviewer. Glad someone put up their own personal review so I can ignore his.
