@motoridersd Somewhat related quote from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostbusters_(2016_film) page, about Sandra Bullock talking about negative reactions about movies:
"And it doesn't just take five people to make a movie. It takes about 300, so, you know what? Let's back off the meanness. Let's have a year of kindness. The women are here — we're not going anywhere. But this isn't about just women. We like sitting at the table with men. We just want to be invited to their table as well because we like them at our table."
To everyone who wasn't much interested in seeing the movie and now might, simply because of the RW hate directed at it:
This movie is amazing, astonishing, excellent - and, yes, tells exactly the kind of story that would enrage the fragile homunculi on the Right.
But don't see it for that. See it because it is a wild ride, one fireburst of brilliant and slightly crazy creativity after another, and also tells an unexpectedly compelling story.
@motoridersd Definitely going to see it now!
@motoridersd Barbie is great. Highly recommend men watch this movie. Enjoy it! Laugh at the caricature of being a man (but let it soak in, that the "manosphere" being promoted by young white fascist men looks a lot like this). Let it sink in.
Good medicine in a sweet syrup.
Date tip: Take your wife or GF, and let conversation happen (w/o getting defensive).
Poor things! Critics and public are loving it, and first box office data says they have already broke even.
Seems likely there will be a Barbie 2 very soon.
(I have never been interested in it, I didn't plan to watch it, but I'm very likely end up watching it)
@motoridersd I am so looking forward to seeing the movie.
Need to get some pink nail polish first :O
@motoridersd @zicon As I wrote on the (eX) bird site:
There's some cognitive dissonance going on with the acid trip one, because quite frankly that sounds like something I'd write in a five star review.
@motoridersd
I've been thinking about this, and I think these quotes would make most films seem even cooler.
Imagine Alien with the strapline "The feminist agenda will kill us all".
