Barbie Movie

[Fuzzy Necromancer]

What did you all think of it? I was prompted to see it partly by the sheer outrage a stupid doll movie had generated among the people I like to see annoyed but I genuinely had a good time and found it seriously funny.

[CmdrKing]

It's a delightful shitpost of a movie, self-aware in all the most cartoonish ways that really makes it sizzle.

[CharlesPhipps]

I feel like it was surprisingly pointed in its satire.

The message being, "Barbie means a lot to a bunch of women but let's not overestimate its effects on society. It's still a fucking toy."

Also, "No one likes Ken. Not even Ken."

[Frustration]

Ken generates a surprising amount of pity and sympathy for an antagonist who symbolizes the patriarchy.

Ill watch it when I can see it on my TV. Just not my thing.

Same thing with Oppenheimer. Even though I am a history buff and usually like these sort of things, I also can't sit through long movies without dozing off. I need to be able to pause a movie and watch it later.

Same, I'll probably catch it on streaming to see what the fuss is about but don't care enough to go to a theater.

Yep. Hell it's not even the cost for me. The theater by me right across from a bar with 24 craft beers on tap and a 12 Oz Bleu cheese burger is only $9 a ticket. Plus they got the red leather reclining chairs.

So the attraction is there for me, just not the will.

Still a bit mad at Nolan for trying to insist his Tenet movie gets released to theaters when we we're clearly not even close to dealing with the pandemic.

[Madner Kami]

Tenet wasn't particularly good anyways, in terms of storyline at least. Of course acting, cinematography, soundtrack and so on was great, but that's besides the point.

[Thebestoftherest]

It wasn't worth putting people lives on the line.
