The thing about "men are trash" is that the phrase is only relevant to the men who are trash. If you know you're not trash, which means you think women are cooler than everybody else, you ain't part of the problem. I'm not, Timothee isn't, you aren't. We're all good. And Cap can vouch for that.

There is truly nothing more cursed than seeing Zach Galifianakis without facial hair

Also very true.

He's always been famous. In our hearts. ❤️

The message is that women are awesome.

You know darn well there's a difference between a Pixar or Dreamworks movie and a Paw Patrol movie. The former are designed to appeal to all ages. Paw Patrol is for 5 year olds and only 5 year olds. I'm sorry if I sound judgy, but I have concerns if you're in your 20s or 30s and you're watching something that airs daily on Nick Jr. on the big screen, unless your little one is dragging you to it.

Well that's because it was also available to watch at home for free. Almost every WB movie in 2021 had pitiful legs because people it was available for free at home. And Dune had one of the better ones. It also sold well on DVD/Blu-Ray last I checked, which also indicates it got a fanbase. I don't think it will have a 100M+ opening, but I don't see any reason why it can't at least do about 150M.

This isn't gonna work out. Even outside of the whole "when corporations force a meme, it dies" thing, who is going to go out there and look like a creepy pedophile going to see the new Paw Patrol? Nobody, that's who.

Says who?

Was thinking the same thing. Seems like an easy, fun thing to do on Labor Day weekend to boost attendance, and even a few movies. But I feel we would have gotten news on that happening by now. Pity.

No. Because it is a nostalgic toy commercial. It's a good movie, I like it, but part of the reason for its existence was to sell toys and Lego sets. They were being sold at my local Target and Wal-Mart when the movie was coming out. People may not see it in this way, but I do. And there's nothing people will do or say that will make me change my mind. Sorry. 🤷‍♂️

Yes. There's a ton of nostalgic toy commercials out there that I like. The new Little Mermaid was fun, Guardians 3 was cool, Avatar 2 was awesome. Just because I'm cynical over these movies doesn't mean I can't appreciate the ones I like and have fun with.

I think the biggest risk was that I didn't think the self-aware satire stuff would stick. We've seen this stuff with Josie and the Pussycats and the new Dora movie, where you take a property for grade-schoolers, then add in a bunch of satire and tongue-in-cheek aspects that will fly over the kids heads. And all the while, it's hard to make older moviegoers who get the jokes feel self-conscious about seeing something for 6 year old girls. Even Lego Movie was still a PG movie with a lot of silly goofiness in all the trailers. Barbie being a PG-13 made things tougher. So it opening as big as it is when this kind of thing never really panned out...I'm still not sure how they pulled this off tbh, despite me adoring this movie.

@Blankments @WrathOfHan @AniNate @MrPink @Ezen Baklattan @Ethan Hunt @Jayhawk the Hutt Cant wait to discuss Barbie together with all of you in a few hours. Crazy it’s about to start soon

Wow guys. I had the weirdest dream last night. I had a dream that Swordfish was in the top 100 at 79. Which is crazy. Because it’s definitely not 79 on the list. But good thing I wouldn’t do something like that.

Okay.

#79 Swordfish 512 points, 10 lists "Don't confuse kindness with weakness." Box Office: 147.1M Rotten Tomatoes: 25% Metacritic:

I'll legit be dead. Heart racing so fast it'll break out of my chest lol
