I don't excuse things. I explain them.

It’s an excuse that implies nobody had a problem with it at the time. There were those who had a problem with it; most of them were ignored because the louder voices drowned them out. But it’s important to recognize that dissenting opinions existed.

And you're on a tirade browbeating a thirty year old movie that hit a sweet spot in the market when it came out but would never get made today.

This is fairly obvious to everyone but you, and this original post has no need for existing.
