Some fragile male egos in this thread. Looking forward to your complaints about the Barbie movie. Sad and pathetic.
I don't know what you're talking about. For me the fragile egos are way down the thread, all massively downvoted. The absolute majority is supportive.
People are addicted to rage.
A few arseholes on twitter saying negative things sets a chain reaction of rage to all those who are addicted to their own emotions.
The mature thing to do in all cases is to let it go.
It's also worth noting that the original comments could be aimed at the fact she is a model, and not because she is a woman.
#zoolander
But why male models?
Are you kidding? I just told you!
Not everybody's sorting by Top, friend. They're probably down there where you say they are though.
My comment on the Barbie movie ..Kens belt buckle looks like a liny Metallica logo...horses are rad and Alan is terrible.
He fits into all of Kens clothes!
Alan was literally MVP wtf
Why would anyone care about an hour-long toy commercial?
Because that's not what the movie is at all. It actually spends a fair amount of time mocking consumerism and hating on the negative impact barbie has had on women's self image and feminism. It's actually pretty crass with a lot of offcolor jokes. It's more targeted to adults who had Barbies as kids during on the 80s/90s.
I did the Barbenheimer double bill. The one that felt like a.commercial was the "YU ESS EH" nature of promoting American War interests.
I love this.
Oppenheimer forces the viewer to strongly consider the awful thing that was done those two days.
I'm as critical of the US as anyone I've met but your take is bizarrely ignorant to what they were trying to do. I feel like you'd have to be intentionally missing the point to come away thinking that movie was pro-america in any way.
I recognize that both movies (Barbie and Oppenheimer) have some self-depreciating self-criticism of their own meta-apparatus. Oppenheimer's story - if we keep the narrow focus to just JRO - is a story about a scientist who gains political power through the usefulness of his theories only to lose that political power due to political influences and return being "merely" a scientist with his own tropical getaway, publishing deals, tenure at a university, worldwide fame and recognition and a host of baubles and awards from across the globe, including the USA just 9 years later.
I think it does read pro-USA, especially to this foreigner who lives and works in the USA. It does not cover the political and medical implications of the New Mexico testing grounds, it does not cover the impact on Japanese civilians from the war (indeed the only victim we see is imaginary in Oppenheimer's mind). It's not a particularly interesting story, and its characters barely suffer (in comparison to the suffering they caused).
I'd argue that it's propaganda to make it seem like bombing civilian targets in Japan was necessary, worthwhile and agonized over by heroic people. Which you may believe is true, but doesn't stop the movie from being pro-USA. I'd even argue it's depiction of McCarthy-ism is self-serving as it seems to suggest, subjectively to me at least, that "look at how far we've come."
Of course it's a toy commercial.
K.
It was a really fricken good movie, way to be closed minded and talk shit about something you didn't watch
Huh, not something I expected of a very capitalist Mattel.
They said the same thing about the LEGO movie and how wrong they were...
The LEGO Movie is a long advertisement, too.
The LEGO movie is a work of art... and yes, to some extent an advertisement of the brand.
Time is linear, this is an old image, you probably searched the app store today.
Maybe if you did two seconds of research, you'd know they aquired an iOS team in 2016 and have white label apps for clients. Obviously with the rest of her credentials she knows how to make an iOS app and publish it to the app store.
Your trying to discredit her just like the comments.
