latest label that was just added before Margaret Mitchell’s 1936 novel “Gone With The Wind.”It says that the old book, which was made into a huge 1939 movie, amounts to a “romanticization of a shocking era in our history and the horrors of slavery.” Um, duh! It’s a Civil War story that’s pro-Confederacy.A more useful trigger warning I’d throw in front of “Gone With The Wind,” however, is: “This book is 1,472 pages long.” In fact, books, movies and TV shows almost never begin with a trigger warning that could actually help me make a decision. Here are some I’d like to see.Trigger Warning: You will never be able to afford this beautiful homeEvery flippin’ Nancy Meyers movie (“It’s Complicated,” “Something’s Gotta Give,” “The Holiday”) has a stunningly gorgeous Hamptons or California home where wealthy, relaxed Ina Garten-types drink red wine on beige couches that miraculously never stain.
I won’t ever have one of these marvelous manses — and I am triggered!Trigger Warning: This cruel film depicts an unrealistic number of days offIn “Dirty Dancing,” a family stays at a 1960s Catskills resort so long that their youngest daughter becomes a professional mambo dancer. How did Jerry Orbach land this Loch Ness Monster of vacation packages? Why do I envy a fictional doctor in a cabin? Trigger Warning: Jar Jar Binks may enrage you“Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace” is a highly enjoyable movie … if you get up and leave the room whenever Jar Jar Binks is onscreen.
The dumb face, that annoying voice. “Okie day”?!?Trigger Warning: Some parts of this book should have been snippedPrince Harry’s unhinged memoir “Spare” was not just a barn-burning tome of off-the-charts entitlement and reckless family betrayal — it was also gross.
