>Movie that makes me feel uncomfortable but there's actually nothing wrong with it: problematic.
Building off of this one; movies where the protagonist is a terrible person or amoral character are problematic because they're "praising terrible behavior".
Like, no, the whole point of a movie with terrible person as the protagonist is to explore how being a bad person will eventually cause you ruin in the end.

When my mom was a kid someone called a bomb threat at the public school in her town in Jersey. While the cops were at the school, the bank was robbed.

DC had 3 regiments, one cavalry and two infantry.
Fun fact, the 2nd DC Infantry Regiment included a soldier named John Staples. During the Civil War it was customary for wealthy and powerful individuals to pay representatives to be their stand-ins when they were drafted. John Staples, a DC resident who had previously served in the 176th PA but was medically discharged after a battle with typhus, was Abraham Lincoln's stand-in. Lincoln paid him $500 ($18,000 today) to serve in the regiment in his stead. Lincoln requested he not be assigned combat duty and he served the remainder of the war as the clerk to the regiment's commanding officer. If you ever end up in Stroudsburg, PA there is a historical marker on Main Street dedicated to him.

There were also some units in the CSA army made up of men from Southern Illinois. Other than border states that's the only Northern state that had troops fight for the South.
Although it is arguable that Southern Illinois was essentially a border state region in itself.

Redditors: Nothing new and creative is made anymore, it's all established IP. The film industry is ruined because of Disney/Marvel/DC/whatever brand.
Also redditors: Oh a director made an original film? I don't know who any of those characters are and it isn't rooted in something I already know. Therefore, I'm scared to pay money to see it.
