that seems superfluous

[BurtReynolds]

I can see Tree leaving that theatre...dressed in PINK!!

OH BOY

I will never wear pink. I don't think you're following the plot here VG

Why would you never wear pink? What’s wrong with a guy wearing pink? I have numerous pink shirts, socks and shorts.

i already said it's just not my style.. also I was just making the point that this movie won't convert me to it's dumb feminist ideals

so, wearing pink = dumb feminist ideals?

sigh...

VG was riffing on me saying it's a dangerous movie because its aiming dangerous feminist propaganda at children by saying it's so powerful even someone like me complaining about it will be converted and I was saying it will never happen. Why do I feel like I always have to spell things out to you and wease? Or are you intentionally being obtuse?

It's gotta be trolling. the difference is that they troll to try to avoid engaging. Kings like us troll them to make them think.

yeahhhh buddy

Trolling to shut down debate (virgin, cringe) vs. trolling to encourage it (chad, based). They can never be allowed to win.

I like to wear a pink dress shirt once in awhile during the summer.

Why do you keep referring to this PG-13 movie that looks like a mid-aughts Old Navy commercial and features a tired joke about being day drunk as aimed at children?

It’s also odd to me that you keep talking about a movie’s cultural impact, when movies have no cultural impact at all anymore outside of being an inroad to internet madness.

You yourself turn to YouTube to demonstrate your point, and do you know why? Because YouTube is actually the thing that has all of that cultural shifting power you are fretting over. This movie is not gonna say anything to any kids that they haven’t seen 1000 times already on YouTube channels, often expressed to them by people who they actually look up to. That’s the real danger. They’ll get indoctrinated with it. They’ll end up stupidly posting YouTube links to prove things on message boards. A dark hour will chime.

[Coach]

I think pink is a flattering color on me.

[BurtReynolds]

At the end of the day anyone can wear pink.

[Coach]

At the end of the day, I think pink is a pastel color and that's why it's flattering. So you're right on, Burt.

Because it's a Barbie movie, being advertised to and attended by mothers and their children in swarms, because Barbie is an iconic, beloved figure for girls and their moms

I was excited about this movie because it feels like a cultural event for motion pictures at the cinema. This with Oppenheimer is supposed to be a big deal that helps to save cinema or whatever and then I learned it's mostly just shitty propaganda dressed in fun colors and pretty faces. Frustrating

I watched a ben shapiro video posted in this thread that was being mocked and found nothing about it objectionable, if what he said about the movie was true. And then I watched other personalities on Youtube expressing similar perspectives, and then others I trust even more holding those same views. Again it's not the sources that are the problem, it's the ideals corrupting fragile, weak minds. On youtube you can find all sorts of ideas, and it can be an echo chamber for literally anyone. It seems pretty nihilistic to say "every idea is readily available on the uber-popular platform of youtube, therefore any idea in any movie is fair game". Hopefully, ultimately the truth and righteousness will prevail in the war of ideas.

Also, I'm not afraid of messaging like this affecting culture as much as messages in movies like this being a reflection of the state of our culture.. a sign of the times

"if what he said is true"

You don't even know if it is. Watch the movie and then form your opinion.

i corroborated it with multiple other sources, some more trustworthy than others, but i highly doubt they're all lying about the same plot points.. anyway it saved me the money I'd otherwise have wasted on tickets if for no other purpose

[Ello Sailor]

Tree and Burt have teamed up, and the result is cringe madness. Shocker.

I plan on watching this at some point (but never Indy 5). What will be their excuse next?

[Anders]

You should see the movie yourself, before being so opinionated on it.

they are providing us a great spectacle.

I have legitimate opinions on the toxic ideals it apparently espouses in oodles, not the movie as a whole. I may actually end up watching it anyway eventually, just for the aesthetics. I'll probably hate it, but who knows?
