...climactic fight scene at the end of the film pointlessly rips off visuals from Star Wars (light saber battle on a catwalk), The Lord of the Rings (bows and arrows launched at giants), The Matrix (borg arms descending on an innocent civilization), and Braveheart (kilts and all). The scene borrows ideas without any of the necessary wit or engaging musical accompaniment to telegraph the satire of the scene...
Totally immersed in academia, Inna I. Zakharevich ’06 will rarely come up for air. She’ll still get into hour-long debates with friends over whether Mel Gibson was a one-dimensional character in Braveheart.

The latter chunk is important, particularly in the year that Satan returns for another four years in the White House. Hollywood...
...Scotland—home of James Bond, Braveheart and a number of other memorable movie characters. (Plus, they had some wars and shit.) Also, apparently, it’s the purveyor of another hot American consumer commodity: fake news...
