Gandalf the WHITE?? Gandalf the FUCK
The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word?

Showed my 2 year old the original Grinch. She spent the entire time saying “no like it,” “no like Grinch” and “Peppa Pig!!!” So meaningful to re-experience the classics with a new generation ❤️

Could you imagine how deranged Scrooge’s internet diet would be? Every day just being like “Bob, did you hear what these FLEMISH really do with their MELON FORKS??” and he has to politely reply “damn sounds crazy”

In retrospect the Bush-era War On Christmas stuff seems more ominous than it did at the time. It was just cable news guys crying about dumb/fake shit, then and now; I mean the campaign to turn Christmas, which most everyone likes and feels warmly about, into just another thing to get mad about.

We were dead and now we're the hottest country in the world, the first country—quite frankly the only country—where a box of breakfast cereal costs $11. We're saying Merry Christmas, and also the r-slur, and we're getting back to saying "gay" so it means "stupid" again. Grown-ups are doing it now,

Not many movies have aged better than Misery, which came out years before the rise of the internet yet depicts a crazed fan demanding that her favorite author write his next story to her exact specifications by threat of sledgehammer
