I’ve never seen The Goonies. I feel like I missed my chance with that one.

And of course I 100% expected that there was gonna those who try to downplay the success of a movie that features a trans Barbie. The backlash was inevitable, sadly.

Not surprised, both movies have a great word of mouth.

Also when it says women from marginalized groups are critical of the movie are they intentionally leaving out queer and trans women because queer and trans women are in love with this movie.

Yeah it’s not really newsworthy that some liked it but not loved it like everyone else. Not everyone loved Last Jedi either but it still earned an A cinamacore which is the same as Barbie. Why hold a comedy based on a toy to a higher standard than a Star Wars movie?

I love that Greta Gerwig is unapologetically a millennial. There’s a Mathbox 20 singalong and a Pavement joke. She doesn’t give a fuck.

Well I just turned 35

By the way, people are totally allowed to not like camp, it’s not for everyone. I think this movie has more of a gay sensibility than mainstream audiences are used to so those who’ve never been to a screening of Rocky Horror Picture Show may not be on its wavelength. I saw this movie this movie in two theaters in two parts of town. First was in the suburbs outside the city area of Jax, and second was in a more hip and queer friendly district. It received good reactions from both screenings, but it absolutely slayed in the second theater. People every clapped and cheered after the monologue.

Camp is intentionally not subtle but can be off-putting to those who haven’t acquired the taste yet. All my queer girl friends loved it. At the same time, there seems to be a lot going over people’s heads. People are making complaints about Barbieland being “too *fill in the blank*”, but that’s the whole point of the movie. For example there are no elderly in Barbieland because Matel would never sign off on an elderly Barbie doll. The diversity in Barbieland is as diverse as the type of dolls that Matel is willing to sign off on. When Barbie goes to the real world she sits on a park bench as she looks around and sees people that are not represented in Barbieland, including a gay couple of color. She smiles as realizes the beauty that is found in real, actual people. She then turns to an elderly woman and tells her she’s beautiful. It’s not just a moving scene, it’s also criticizing Matel by showing all the diversity in the real world that Barbieland could never contain. Again, depiction is not endorsement, and the movie is never a full endorsement of Barbieland. It does recognize the superficial appeal of this fantasy, but at the end of the day sides with reality.

I’ve never seen that monologue before but that was awkward. Even though the audience seemed to agree with him you could tell near the end they were like, “move on already, jeez”.

It’s very campy and very gay in both its influences and aesthetic. The first time I saw it was with a large group of queer people and we were all laughing hard. This is destined to be a LGBT classic I can already tell based on other reactions I’ve heard from the local queer community here. I’m glad we have a movie that felt made for us, at least. The movie also has so much to say I’m still processing everything I took away from it. Will post my full thoughts soon.

Don’t give Florida any more ideas, please.

I know men who love the movie but this movie just hits harder if you’re a woman. The America Ferrara monologue in the movie is so such a powerful moment. Second time I saw it was with a nearly full theater with mostly women and everyone cheered and clapped after her monologue. I’m still getting chills thinking about it. And it was so wonderful seeing a trans actor play a Barbie and not once is she made the butt of a trans joke or even treated any differently. This is how trans women want to be treated, just like you would treat any other woman. Seeing this depicted in a mainstream movie is so beautiful and means a lot to me with all the hateful rhetoric floating around. I adore this movie so much and I’m thankful it exists.

Call Me Maybe tho

Camp is intentionally not subtle.

We really do need to crack down on major studios urinating in public.

So fucking sad. A truly brave icon. She never deserved to have her career hurt by calling out the Pope, but her bravery will be remembered well.

I said my opinion. I just don't wanna participate in discussion if people are gonna assume I don't know what UFO stands for.

It's more in response to those dismissing the testimony of those who've reported these sightings. It is clear that the Pentagon is taking this seriously and there is something out there we can't full comprehend. Could be terrestrial or could not. But at this point we have to accept something is happening.

This is a false premise. The amount of sightings have increased in recent years. UFO sightings are up, but no proof of aliens yet, Pentagon official says - POLITICO WWW.POLITICO.COM The Defense Department is now investigating 650 cases of unknown aerial incursions.

It's weird that there is official footage from the Pentagon of a UFO and is not being considered in this discourse. Like, it's good to be skeptical, but when you're ignoring possible evidence it's very clear you actively don't want to believe, or unable to comprehend what reality would mean if it were true.

Much like Mitch himself, I don't know what to say.

Last summer I had a regular bit in my standup routine where I would mention the upcoming Barbie movie and whenever I did all the women in the audience would cheer loudly. Like, literally every time on stage when I would reference the upcoming movie it would get the same, strong reaction. That's when I knew this movie was gonna be a phenomenon, and this was over a year ago. The hype for the movie only continued to build as it got closer to release.
