@billmaher I love and miss you but it's an animation Movie about a Doll, made for women by women, not a documentary, Transformers, G.I.Joe, Toy Story, Legos, CHUCKY,, most Toy movies have Evil in them, this one certainly has an Agenda but no Vagina so let em have it ;)
OK, "Barbie": I was hoping it wouldn't be preachy, man-hating, and a #ZombieLie - alas, it was all three. What is a Zombie Lie? Something that never was true, but certain people refuse to stop saying it (tax cuts for the rich increase revenues, e.g.); OR something that USED to be true but no longer is, but certain people pretend it's still true. "Barbie" is this kind of #ZombieLie.
Spoiler alert, Barbie fights the Patriarchy. Right up to the Mattel board who created her, consisting of 12 white men! The Patriarchy! Except there's a Mattel board in real life, and it's 7 men and 5 women. OK, not perfect even-steven, but not the way the board IN THE MOVIE - which takes place in 2023 - is portrayed. And not really any longer deserving of the word "patriarchy." Yes, there was one, and remnants of it remain - but this movie is so 2000-LATE.
At one point the Barbies have to win over the Kens, and they are told to do it by pretending to act helpless and not know how to do stuff. Helen Gurley Brown called, she wants her premise back. Yes, that WAS a thing. I saw "Barbie" with a woman in her 30s who said, "I don't know a single woman of any age who would act like that today."
I know, I know, 'How could I know about the patriarchy, I AM a man!' That argument is so old and so silly. Of course, none of us can know exactly what others go through life, but I can see the world around me, and I can read data. The real Mattel board is a pretty close mirror of the country, where 45% of the 449 board seats filled last year in Fortune 500 companies were women. Truth is, I'm not the one who's out of step - I'm living in the year we're living in. Barbie is fun, I enjoyed it - but it IS a #ZombieLie. And people who don't go along with zombie lies did not take some red pill - just staying true to CURRENT reality. Let's live in the year we're living in! Hi Ken!!! #BarbieMovie
Let's remember how we got here—10 days out from a Biden default on the national debt.
He ignored the looming crisis for months, despite my repeated calls to negotiate. Because of his inaction, he risks bumbling into the first default in American history.
@chaseparis@godawgs I love the phrase "Pass the Elevator Back Down"
I'm not really on high floor yet but I love to read for Actors, put them on Tape, Table Reads, pass along Contacts, Posts, Classes, Social Media, just today I gifted Tactical Class to a Atlanta Actor friend who just moved here
HAPPY FRIDAY ACTORS!
I was talking to a class of UGA acting students (@godawgs !) and one of the things I wanted to get across to them is that no one in this industry succeeds without someone giving them an opportunity along the way.
Hey, it’s this guy’s birthday! My brother Clint! I’ll never forget him arriving at our apt from St. Joseph’s Hospital in Burbank. He still makes me smile. Love you , Clint.
@FoxNews@TuckerCarlson Tucker, you only ask questions and never answer them, you actually make FNC worse with edited editorial BS, you could never make it as Journalist
