Barbie (Greta Gerwig, July 21, 2023) Movie • Page 22

Saw this twice, both theatres near sold out, and both times I felt like the only one laughing. Pretty sure everyone seemed to like it, but def didn’t have a ton of LOL moments from the crowd.

Loved everything about this, just not sure if the writing is maybe too smart for the average American.

 

Also, it’s not really about the Snyder cut itself. It’s about the Snyder cult or Snyder bro’s that praise it like the greatest movie ever made and their toxic behavior.

 

It's cool Greg we don't have to keep talking about it man

 

I’ll go KMS then. God forbid I clarify a point.

 

Does twitter not, like all social media sites, use an algorithm that feeds you material based on what it knows to get your attention? This seems to go to my point. I use twitter most days and I do not see posts about the Snyder cut

 

I'm no film expert but from what I remember the Snyder cut is one of those, from my outsider POV, weird things the toxic part of nerd male culture latched on to a disproportionate degree. Felt like that joke was simply and inoffensively poking fun at how obsessive those who made the Snyder thing part of their personality acted about it back then

 

One thing I really enjoyed was how nonsensical the metaphysics of the universe of this movie are. Like they understand that they're toys, and somehow the real world affects them, which sure, that makes its own silly sense. But then also they somehow affect the real world as well, including in ways apparently beyond Mattel's control (the Mojo Dojo Casa Houses not only being invented but selling out before anyone had time to blink). And aside from it just being weird, it's never really clarified why Mattel was so determined to cover up the existence of real-life Barbies and Kens. Until the events of the movie it's not as if Mattel seemed to be forcing them into anything they didn't want

 

can we please drop the snyder cut joke discussion?

 

instead lets talk about horses

 

Nah, let's talk about the patriarchy!

...It isn't just horses?

You're right, let's just talk about horses, then

 

"it's best if you just don't think about it too much"

 

What kinda nerd has 7 hours to spare to watch a mid super hero movie

 

I watched it.

 

I watched it in like, 3 parts

 

should i be drunk for this

 

tipsy and a little high

 

i'll be sure to have 3 jack and cokes at dinner then

 

The problem is that if you interact with tweets about DC heroes, say Batman or Superman, Twitter has no way of knowing which version of those characters of the films they’re in. You either ignore DC characters or you see the Snyder cult. I don’t use twitter anymore, so I truly don’t know how much it would still pop up. But if I tweeted about Batinson’s movie, Snyder stuff could pop up as a result.

 

I’m glad this is a joke to you. I honestly think about how being dead would be preferable to life recently. Then I have you trying to moderate what I post and it’s just so stupid. No need to continue this here though. I’m out.

 

thanks for proving my point nerd

 

You really need to Snyder-cut it out.

 

Hope you’re doing OK. The mental health thread is a pretty good resource/safe space. Not sure if you frequent it or not.
