Best scene in “Hamlet” = The “To be or not to be … “ speech.
Worst scene in “Hamnet” = The “To be or not to be … “ speech.

In "The End of Evangelion," an unambiguously heterosexual male lead spends most of the film paralyzed by self-loathing while dynamic female characters engage in swashbuckling sci-fi combat against menacing giant robots. Did writer/director Hideaki Anno invent wokeness in 1997? It would appear so.

Everything is terrible. On the bright side, I officially own a promo CD ("The Big Dream") and a 7" ("Flame of Love") that currently reside in a warehouse formerly owned by David Lynch. Buying stuff off the internet is good sometimes.
