Yeah, I’m not going to lose sleep over it. Probably would’ve been better to have branching and a disclaimer, though.

Around Christmas I watched Holiday Inn for the first time, thinking it would be a nice movie starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. It began with an offensive content disclaimer, and I thought, oh, there’s probably some unflattering stereotypes. Then the full-on blackface musical number that included an offensive slur basically sucker punched me in the face. Really took me out of the movie.

I think it would be pretty hard to excise that one without losing a story beat, but these two Crocodile Dundee scenes are just dumb gags that contribute nothing.
