The nation’s preeminent entertainment magazine has a rather sad piece out this week. In “10 Problematic films that could use warning labels,” Variety suggests films which “need disclaimers and discussions before and after a screening.”

To be clear, none of these movies actually need disclaimers — though, assuming they are pursued with an open mind, discussions don’t seem like such a bad idea. Unfortunately, that’s not what Variety is interested in here. As the article soon makes clear, it wants us to regard some great films with new disdain. It wants a quasi-book burning adventure.
