neutral · AI labelView post →just saw the YOUNG WASHINGTON movie and it was completely fine in terms of my fairly low expectations, but i saw it in pittsburgh and i have to say that it disappointed me that the whole theater didn't go nuts when they say the french fort is "where the three rivers meet"

neutral · AI labelView post →If this 'Young Washington' movie, which Wikipedia says includes a scene on a plantation, handles slavery like I suspect they're going to handle slavery, I'm walking out and going to see Jackass, because I'd rather get motion sickness than do revisionist history.
negative · AI labelView post →all love to the irish but i saw that fucking angel studios YOUNG WASHINGTON movie and it was pretty funny that kelsey grammer comes on during the credits to blather about how they hope the film launches a new patriotic movement and then you see it was shot in ireland
neutral · AI labelView post →Angel Studios is so weird. They put out the bad Animal Farm movie (that I think they picked up for cheap) and are releasing Young Washington now. They’re trying to be more than just a weird Christian distributor these days
neutral · AI labelView post →Umm.... Anyone know anything about an upcoming movie: "Young Washington?" As in...George Washington? Ben Kingsley is in it?
neutral · AI labelView post →Some ridiculous right-wing slop called Young Washington is taking up all the movie screens that aren't showing Supergirl this coming weekend, and its tagline is, "Even a pawn can take a king," and that's NOT TRUE. In chess, a king can never be taken at all! Checkmate ends the game without a capture!

neutral · AI labelView post →I agree they both fucked it up, but my main problem is how there seems to have been a clear shift in how they "weigh" reviews after both IMDB and RT were bought by large corporate entities (Amazon and Fandango, respectively). I can't help but feel like a lot of the movies coming out from those companies or their subsidiaries (...and at least some number of politically expedient allies) somehow manage to get higher overall review scores on RT and IMDB than they maybe deserve. For example, that…
neutral · AI labelView post →It's lowkey fitting and comes full circle that I walked out of the first Jackass movie maybe ten minutes in because it gave me such bad motion sickness, and then ended up walking out of that 'Young Washington' movie ten minutes in and ended up seeing the final Jackass movie instead
negative · AI labelView post →Me: *staring intently at my phone* 😐 Auggie: *she seems really focused. i hope everything's ok* Me: *applying the same Face Effects filters 10 times on this still of Andy Serkis in the upcoming Young Washington film* 😌
neutral · AI labelView post →Twitter is crazy. I've been criticising the Young Washington movie (just technical history/battle stuff) and my engagement is nill I said something nice about it, sarcastically, and my engagement is through the roof.
negative · AI labelView post →I finally have a good enough last 5 watched at @reelrank.net Why 5? Because it's one more than Letterbox. Also Young Washington is gruel masquerading as a movie #filmsky #moviesky #reelrank
negative · AI labelView post →For whatever it's worth, Angel Studios has released a couple genuinely good films. SOLO MIO is a very sweet, old fashioned rom-com and SKETCH is a solid kids horror movie. But they also release manure like ANIMAL FARM and YOUNG WASHINGTON, so for the most part...

neutral · AI labelView post →Well now I understand why he was in that horrific Young Washington movie I still need explanations on Ben Kingsley and Mary Louise Parker
negative · AI labelView post →That new piece of shit YOUNG WASHINGTON movie has a batshit cast. You can guess which actor led me to the wiki page for it. #Filmsky #Frasierverse
negative · AI labelView post →The Mormons must really want everyone to see their Young Washington "faith based" propaganda movie
negative · AI labelView post →Mom asks me if I want to go to see the Young Washington movie with her this weekend. I ask her if it’s a real movie or MAGA slop. She laughs and says it’ll be a fun July 4th outing. I check Wikipedia. “Distributed by: Angel Studios.”

neutral · AI labelView post →Have you seen any ads for the movie "Young Washington"? Hopefully not. They make me mad and wonder how they managed to get actors like Andy Serkis and Ben Kingsley. The Mormon church teaches that the "Founding Fathers" were inspired by God and raised by God to make sure that the US would be created. Washington may not be revered as a god, but Mormons and many conservatives see him as an icon and saint.
negative · AI labelView post →Saw YOUNG WASHINGTON at a $5 "secret movie" last night, and I have not stopped thinking about it since (derogatory).
negative · AI labelView post →The god-awful movies podcast guys watched a movie called “Young Washington“ this week and I really wanted to see the actor because they were talking about how he’s very twink, but my quick Internet search turned up nothing but pictures of young Denzel Washington and I’m fine with that honestly.
neutral · AI labelView post →That "Young Washington" movie used AI on 100 shots. Goodbye and fuck off.
negative · AI labelView post →In addition to the Angel Studios streaming service hosting racist, anti-vaxxer, and pro-RFK cinema, its theatrical movies like Young Washington are also employing generative AI software built on the thievery of other peoples art. A dogshit company variety.com/2026/film/ne...
negative · AI labelView post →I was so mad that movie Young Washington didn't show the real story of our founding father, terrorizing people in the villages and reaching his bony yet strangely elasticated claw into children's windows to steal their teeth
negative · AI labelView post →Pretty funny that MAGA was promoting the "Young Washington" movie (done by the same MAGA studio that did the "Cry Freedom" propaganda film), while crapping on "The Odyssey" 4 being woke & would "never see it". Young Washington was a POS and bombed like their 250 fair... Odyssey will open w/$200m
negative · AI labelView post →The average age of the Young Washington movie showing at 7 is about 60 years old I’d say,
neutral · AI labelView post →"Young Washington" comes out soon. its a movie obviously about our first president. it was set to be filmed here and we were all gearing up for it and they cut us and filmed most of it in turkey and ireland to save money. A film about our founding father shot mostly in ireland.Prod is a joke.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think we can all agree the sex scenes in Young Washington, a movie we all saw, were all very necessary. Bad change!
negative · AI labelView post →Extremely, deeply troubling that a movie like Her Private Hell will get review bombed because it appeals to a niche audience, has slow pacing and weird acting Meanwhile literal AI generated trash products like Young Washington and the Moana remake gets a lukewarm response
negative · AI labelView post →My review of YOUNG WASHINGTON folded into an examination of the swift rise of Angel Studios, a Christian conservative production company that crowdfunds its films. It's from the people who brought you SOUND OF FREEDOM. jacobin.com/2026/07/ange...
neutral · AI labelView post →Young Washington, a straight up revisionist propaganda film that was just screened at the White House and will be shown by the State Department at all of the US embassies, is produced by Angel Studios, a company owned by two Mormon brothers. Because of course it is. #mormonsbehavingbadly
negative · AI labelView post →Young Washington humanizes a too-often marbelized figure. I encourage viewers, especially historians, not to focus on the film's inaccuracies. Rather, think about the major themes - ambition, Providence, and an emerging Imperial crisis. And enjoy the show! open.substack.com/pub/geneproc...
positive · AI labelView post →Tweeted some mildly complimentary things about the new YOUNG WASHINGTON movie. Immediately deleted them upon learning just how much AI was used in its production. Support real artists, folks.
negative · AI labelView post →Went to see Young Washington today. That and three other movies promoted by ANGEL studios. At the end Kelsey Grammer comes on and asks for donations. Right wing Christian media has already taken over the film industry. But we still have foreign films left. 🫤
negative · AI labelView post →Thank you brother! I am honored. Enjoy the 4th. I'm going to see film "Young Washington" in the theater for our 250th anniversary, be among freedom lovers.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's a shame we got a hero-worship Young Washington movie instead of a movie about Washington and the Newburgh Conspiracy, the reason that despite his many, deep moral failings he was the man this country needed to succeed.
negative · AI labelView post →The multiplex near us is screening a movie called "Young Washington" only at 8 a.m.
neutral · AI labelView post →Between Young Washington and this weird thing about white people in the Gollum movie, is Andy Serkis… a chud?
neutral · AI labelView post →Also worth noting: Andy Serkis has made a film for Angel Studios (Animal Farm, '25) and has a major role in another from the same (Young Washington, '26). Angel Studios is a Christian propaganda outfit from Provo, Utah. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_S...
neutral · AI labelView post →I was actually kind of looking forward to watching Young Washington. I was planning on going to the theater tomorrow and buying a ticket to see it. Then I learned the film used genAI. That's a dealbreaker to me. I will NOT be buying a ticket to see it--nor will I ever see it as long as I live.
negative · AI labelView post →Young Washington feels like a misguided Jena Maroney film in developmental hell and not something I keep getting advertisements for, but also tickets are somehow BOGO which I’ve never heard of with a movie.
negative · AI labelView post →Doing great! Got good prospects at CBC and enjoyed the movie “Young Washington (Erroneously called it “Young George” yesterday) with my cherry Red Bull. #NotAloneTalk
positive · AI labelView post →Two movie day. “The Tuner” Outstanding. “Young Washington” Poorly written, poorly acted, bit of a fuckboi.
negative · AI labelView post →god help me i'm watching the Young Washington movie, the most successful movie right now you've never heard of
neutral · AI labelView post →Before he became the Father of His Country, George Washington was shaped by ambition, failure, courage, and war. Young Washington brings that origin story to the screen. Here is our movie review.
neutral · AI labelView post →Angel films' Young Washington movie is in the vein of Young Einstein right
negative · AI labelView post →Long have I dreamed of a General Washington movie. It was just announced! The sequel to Young Washington. Assume it will be called General Washington (and focus on the Crossing) and then hopefully complete the trilogy with President Washington. #hatm
neutral · AI labelView post →Can’t believe the biggest, most important cinema in town is showing this Angel Studios (the PragerU of movie studios) crap. Even more surprising, prestigious actors agreeing to have anything whatsoever to do with this crap. Oh, and it’s AI slop. #movies #santafe #newmexico #youngwashington #ai
negative · AI labelView post →The Young Washington movie has real actors in it?
neutral · AI labelView post →Meanwhile, all the clips I've seen of the "Young Washington" movie seem like uber-patriotic hagiography so far. Has anyone here seen it yet? #HATM

He is a one of my favorite people to see a film with because how he sees a film is unlike how other people see films. (now to get him at @stevenstaples38.bsky.social together at a screening and post film chat)
