I view HBO's decision to shelve the classic 'Gone with the Wind' movie the same way I viewed similar decisions once-upon-a-time to remove Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn" from reading lists.
There's a Grand Canyon-wide difference between knocking over old confederate statues and essentially banning films and books that have something valuable to say to people of all generations.
I don't think so but let's face it, his Percy Jackson & the Olympians movies royally sucked.
