Here's a montage of my work.

I just don't see a lot of Christian Dads who got too worked up over Barbie. There was no active campaign to ban it, and Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling didn't stir up any hornets nests. Margot especially seemed to promote it masterfully with no inflammatory quotes - movie star skill level A+. Were there a handful of men griping about feminism or Ken Dolls? Sure, but there was no full mobilization to kill it like Supergirl or Snow White. At the end of the day, Barbie looked like Barbie and Ken looked like Ken and the only Christian Dads that would truly care about dolls for girls have husbands.

I've literally said I want Odyssey to make a lot of money from a non political perspective because it's good for filmmakers. That's my stand. Does the Left really think there is no culture war? Definitely not. It's just claiming victory with a major win and trying to mandate status quo. Does the Right really think Nolan's Odyssey is conservative? No, they just have summer movie FOMO and want to watch IMAX. Do I like a good fight? Yes.

I see this sentiment that "The Odyssey isn't woke" popping up from the right. This is cope. The Odyssey is fully woke. A trans-man is jumping around in armor. Helen of Troy didn't get less black. The Left won. It's a stomping. It happens. The Left wins some, the Right wins some. It's culture wars and Nolan is the white George Floyd Revenge Goliath that choked out the backlash. Admit defeat on this one. The Right knocked down Little Mermaid, Moana, Snow White, The Marvels, but the Left won with The Odyssey. The score is 4-1.

@GrimisS Nah the only Christian Dads that cared about Barbie had husbands.

@JosephKahn They did if they had wives or daughters

@GrimisS No Tom Brady loving Miller Beer drinking Christian Dad paid any attention to Barbie.

@JosephKahn 5-2 if you count Barbie movie

If you don't like a movie of the moment, you are definitely getting some weakling of a human patronizing you with "My Dude."

It's a great thing The Odyssey is doing well - for filmmakers. It tells studios that directors are stars. A "----" Film means something. The power has shifted back to the auteurs. Original work, IP, whatever - pay directors, get out of the way.

@ChrisWillman This is not a history lesson or public resume to show my bonafides. I appreciate comedies from the past, but this is a list of things that make me genuinely laugh.

@JosephKahn I love almost all these movies, but... no good comedies made in the 1920s, '30s, '40s, '50s, '60s or '70s? Howard Hawks had nothing on Bueller?

@eduardoswift6 I love the sequel better than the first.

@JosephKahn What about Ace Ventura??

Whenever you put together a 10 favorite list there's always pressure to round it out with credibility points, but I just like what I like.

@BlackishJustin That could take the spot of a few of these.

@JosephKahn Good list. Not sure what my top ten would be, but it would definitely include Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle. 22 years later and that movie always cracks me up.

@cwfreenews I'm not a communist.

@JosephKahn Dude, how can you leave Peter Sellers in The Party off your list?

South Korea has high approval ratings for America. They are one of the few countries that view the USA as positive (ignore the online haters, loud but small). They like hamburgers, jeans, Teslas, baseball, Christianity, capitalism. They do not, however, like the sun. You can keep your tanning beds and suntan lotion. Fuck off with that shit.

My quick review of The Odyssey. The movie immediately starts with a stress test: are you racist, are you transphobic, are you Leguizamophobic? I quickly ascertain that I am indeed pure of heart and worthy of watching the movie. I discover Lupita Nyongo is good in it but Christopher Nolan has typecasted her role as Angry Black Woman and I wonder why he did that and if HE is racist. As I start to fear this movie might be made by a white supremacist, I realize holy shit I'm bored. The journey part of the Odyssey is simply not that interesting. I'm jogging my memory back to highschool to remember the story to see if it gets interesting but I realized I didn't read The Odyssey but the Cliff Notes - a cheat sheet in the 1980s - and probably got a C+ on the essay. Either way the Charlize Theron therapy session parts are making me fall asleep (why aren't they fucking). It gets interesting at the end because Matt Damon's arms do 90% of the acting as he kills people of all races. I hope his bloodthirsty arms get an Oscar and an investigation by the Southern Poverty Law Center. So the ending was aight, but why did they shoot this in IMAX when most of it is medium shots and close ups with the background out of focus? Overall score: I'm totally not racist.

I just saw The Odyssey in Holland and they put a 12 minute intermission in the middle of it. Thank you practical Dutch. This is why you have the highest IQ of all the white peoples.
