Independence Day and the Art of the Dumb Movie Trailblazers Steven Spielberg and George Lucas figured out pretty quickly how to leverage a certain “stupidity-to-awe ratio” to their advantage, especially when it comes to blockbusters. It might sound counterintuitive, but audiences generally tend to be willing to go along with almost anything that a story can throw at them that perhaps doesn’t hold up to much scrutiny in retrospect. Think of the infamous “plot hole” regarding the pesky geography of that clifftop T-Rex sequence in Jurassic Park, or Lucas bending space and time in The Empire Strikes Back as Luke trained with Yoda on an apparently accelerated timeline, or even the entire Fast & Furious franchise that has only become more popular and successful over time....

20 Years Of ‘Shrek’ And Its Curious, Controversial Scottish Legacy By Kayleigh Donaldson/May 18, 2021 7:00 am EST It’s hard to overstate the impact that Shrek made when it premiered 20 years ago. The snarky comedy that ruthlessly mocked fairy-tale tropes and took blatant stabs at Disney helped to redefine the modern American animated movie and put DreamWorks on the map as the most legitimate competition to the House of Mouse....
