SPOILER-ish
I'm glad that you enjoyed it, but the bolded seems like a conceit. As I pointed out earlier, there are women who didn't enjoy the movie, so it's certainly possible to without it being because of discomfort with one's masculinity. In my opinion, if you're comfortable with yourself, you shouldn't feel the need to judge others just because they find the movie more or less appealing than you do.
Naturally, a Barbie movie that's unflattering to men is going to disinterest mostly men. It doesn't mean that they're not comfortable with themselves. Jumping to that conclusion seems like patting yourself on the back at their expense. It's like saying "anyone with brains will enjoy Oppenheimer" just to be proud of your intelligence and insult anyone who didn't enjoy it.
My wife forced me to go..and I'm glad she did.it was a really fun movie and we had a blast...good heavens they sure jacked up the food prices since we were last there..my only complaint! my c.c took a hit
Date night with the wifey my dude...Dinner and a movie theater
Its 1 of those theaters you actually order food from your seat and they bring it to you..actual food,not candies,etc etc..you can order that kinda stuff after your meal tho!I gorged myself on a double cheeseburger,fries and moz stix lol

same here... (dinner and a movie, not being forced lol) I paid for dinner and the wife paid for the movie and snacks, with the insane mark-ups at the theatre I think I actually made out alright on the deal lol.
I may be mistaken, but it seems pretty clear to me he's calling out the Ben Shepiro (sp?) types who get offended over the simplest shit. His reaction after seeing the movie was comical, but he knows how to make money off of outrage.
It’s a different movie from anything that’s been out in recent years. Hit their target market it appears. For Mattel it was huge and should also spike product sales as well.
Apparently the popularity and success of the movie has also inspired Mattel to launch the Mattel Cinematic Universe... Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots, Hot Wheels, American Girl, even Magic 8 Ball
Hasbro has had Transformers and GI Joe. Transformers stalled at the end of the Bay movies. GI Joe, stopped after 2 movies. But, had the stand alone Snake Eyes origin one which I don't think did great.
Yeah, they've had some big ones. "Throw their hat in the ring" wasn't really the right way to say that I am just wondering if this whole thing will turn into a battle.
Imagine if Mattel and Hasbro had teamed up. Instead of going to an exaggerated real world, Barbie and Ken could've gone next door to G.I. Joe-land. There, Ken could've fit into that male-dominated world and Barbie could've felt out of place, and then Ken could've brought that machoism back to Barbieland. It could've been largely the same story, but with subtlety, keeping the toy theme, more for everyone (especially men and kids) to appreciate and likely more fun after the first half hour. If Mattel couldn't get Hasbro to play along, they could've just done G.I. Joe-land without calling it that. Either way, that's a movie that I might've been eager to see.
With the success of Spiderman (miles morales) and Mario Bros, maybe it's best to leave certain properties in their intended animated form.
Exactly. This movie is hardly "anti-man". It's anti-asshole.
What a silly comment. I had no interest in watching the Transformer or GI Joe movies either so does that mean I'm effeminate lol. I do know that if anyone who actually knows me heard you call me an Alpha or a man's man they'd laugh for days. The fact that you've mentioned you went with your wife several times now tells me you're not as comfortable with yourself as you think you are.
