So you don't follow him, but you were proactively seeking Twitter comments on the Barbie movie?

Umm... you are the Twitter master, not I, but proactively clicking on the Barbie hashtag meets a definition of proactively seeking Twitter comments on Barbie.

My daughter went to see it Friday night; dressed up like Barbie and had fun with it.  They went to a fun dinner and a movie place near us, and she asked my wife and I to join her and her friends.  I'd have gone if my wife really wanted to, but she didn't want to impose and, since my wife is an engineer, we plan on seeing Oppenheimer in Imax instead.  We'll probably see Barbie when is streams.

Ooof.  Woke family member.  Better correct that before it's too late.

That's awesome! And if my Daughter wants to see it my Wife will take her as well. Not me 

My Daughter would rather be out on the boat, in the pool or with her friends. She has no interest.

Republicans rip ‘Barbie’ movie for map showing Beijing’s claims over South China Sea

 

She’s a Barbie girl in a Barbie world, but the movie based on the iconic doll is entangled in a real-life political snafu, with GOP lawmakers criticizing it over a scene that features a map depicting China’s claimed territory in the South China Sea.

Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) were among those who ripped the flick last week ahead of its July 21 release date. One scene, originally shown in the movie’s trailer, shows a cartoon map that labeled parts of the sea that Vietnam claims as its own as Chinese territory. Vietnam banned the movie from domestic distribution as a result.

 

“China wants to control what Americans see, hear, and ultimately think,” a spokesperson for Cruz said, “and they leverage their massive film markets to coerce American companies into pushing Chinese Communist Party propaganda — just like the way the Barbie film seems to have done with the map.”

“Hollywood and the Left are more concerned with selling films in Communist China than standing up to the regime’s human rights abuses,” Blackburn said in a tweet.

“The ‘Barbie’ movie’s depiction of a map endorsing Beijing’s claims to the South China Sea is legally and morally wrong and must be taken seriously,” Blackburn said.

Republicans Reps. Mike Gallagher (Wisc.) and Mark Green (Tenn.) have also spoken out about the movie, which stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as the famed doll duo, Barbie and Ken.

Green said in a Twitter post that since the Warner Bros. film is “promoting a world in which China controls most of the South China sea, perhaps this movie studio should think twice about asking for assistance from the [Department of Defense] for its next action movie.”

“While it may just be a Barbie map in a Barbie world, the fact that a cartoonish, crayon-scribbled map seems to go out of its way to depict the [People’s Republic of China’s] unlawful territorial claims illustrates the pressure that Hollywood is under to please CCP censors,” Gallagher told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Oh, she's plenty woke.  But, she is 25 and is looking for a good man to settle down with, so I'm not concerned of her being influenced by Barbie's "who needs a man?!" message.

My wife was semi interested in this.  The marketing of course.   I'm dragging her to Oppenheimer so I was willing to do the one for me one for her thing. 

When I gave her a quick review about the general hatred of men, she said meh.  Pass

You're right, in that I'd probably prefer being dragged kicking and screaming to Barbie over those two. Cuties is for pedophiles. Brokeback Mountain earned wide critical acclaim and is likely a far better movie than the other two but gay crap makes me nauseous. All three register a 0.0000000 (rounded up) on the interest scale.

This is a dumb thread.  Everything I've read about this movie is it's entertaining.  I won't pay money for it but when it becomes available I'll download and watch it at home.  Some of you are too invested in "sides" and try to make everything political.  Even if there's a measure of "woke" in this movie, EVERYTHING is going to fall somewhere on the spectrum of 0% woke to 100% woke so who cares?  In the case of Lightyear, some people objected to an unnecessary gay kiss being inserted in to a kids movie.  To me, that's understandable.  If Gutterpedo isn't offended by it, he is welcome to go see the movie with his favorite little neighborhood plaything.  It's not the inclusion of "wokeness" that people get offended by.  It's the context of the inclusion of that wokeness.  But I'm sure this nuance will fall on a lot of deaf ears.

Good post.

The right should have movies that appeal to them too, but they often are a harder sell and don't make money. 

The left haven't seen Sound of Freedom largely -they aren't losing their bacon over the movie itself, they are questioning the beliefs of the people behind the movie and don't want to see the movie because they think it's QAnon adjacent.   The right aren't going to Barbie because they think it's going to be overly woke.   Different side, same coin.

No.  Most Americans are centrists, either center right or center left.  And, because of that, you've got plenty or righties going to see Barbie and plenty of lefties going to see Sound of Freedom.  And both movies have done well as a result.

Of course I am speaking in general terms.  You can tell there are certain movies that could lean harder one way or the other, and those are the ones that usually have the most "outrage" over them.  Lefties bristle a bit more when there is overly religious themes, for example.  The righties act up more if something is a bit more "woke", whether real or perceived in both cases.  

Also people who are movie lovers first tend to care less than people who just go to movies occasionally for entertainment in my experience.
