My wife stated watching Barbie on a plane flight, she made it about 5 minutes in.  Someone suggested it to her. 

Would you say she was "unimpressed?"

My wife and I watched Barbie before the holidays when we had the flu. Neither of us liked it much. 

She wanted it to be light and fun and nostalgic about her childhood. She enjoyed the first part of the movie (when Barbie was doing Barbie things) and then when it turned dark and weird she wasn't a fan. 

I wanted it to turn dark and weird and be somewhat of a Barbie dystopia, because the movie my wife wanted to watch would have been boring as hell. But then, when it turned dark and weird and into a Barbie dystopia for some reason it just... didn't hit. 

It was a miss for us.

I watched Barbie all the way through and enjoyed it. But I enjoy tongue-in-cheek, ironic, referential humor. For instance, The Brady Bunch Movie from the mid-90s is one of my favorite guilty pleasures.

I enjoyed Barbie.  Didn't see it at the theater but the whole fam rented it streaming for $20 or whatever, once it hit the streaming market.  For me it had the right blend of pop cultur-y fun, and weird dark dystopian exploration. 

I don't know if I'd consider it "Oscar-worthy" but I'm also not certain what that really means.  It was worth our $20, anyway.

I have a weekend afternoon tradition -- the nap on the couch.

At which time, my wife turns on some BS chick movie that I would never entertain watching with her.

About a month ago it was "Barbie".  (I am shocked at the amount of men here that watched.)

I'm dozing as she is turning the movie on, and a few minutes later, she turned it off.  I roll over ... "What's wrong?"

Her: "It was on my nerves....Hi Barbie, Hi Barbie, Hi Barbie, Hi Barbie....." which I heard, and was unsuccessfully trying to block out.

Me:  "Thank F'ing God."

No idea what she ended up watching instead, but I enjoyed a good nap.

I couldn't watch Silicon Valley (HBO) for that reason - the sheer volume of the script that said "pied piper" drove me insane.  372 times per episode.  First and only time I've experienced that.

The best movie I've seen in probably 4 or 5 years was the recent Godzilla movie.   I saw it with my son and then again with friends.   It has been a long time since a movie had a great combination of story/plot, character development, great casting (realistic casting I might add), reasonable special effects, and great usage of sound or lack of sound.   

To be fair, I've given up on a lot of movie studios.   I've watched more at home via streaming... but I watch movies to be either entertained (ie, just to enjoy and escape) or to watch something that is thought-provoking in a non-superficial way.    A lot of crap has been produced, IMO, that pander (yes, I aligned with the SouthPark episode) rather than entertains or creates dialogue.   Writing in Hollywood has lost the storytelling I appreciate.  

sorry for the rant..

There have been like five of those so you might need to narrow it down

Finally watched The Holdovers last night while the snow was falling and enjoyed it greatly. Alexander Payne is one of my favorite directors and Sideways is one of my favorite movies.

I love just about anything with Paul Giamatti.  

Except for “American Splendor”.  That was a tough watch, but I gutted it out. 

Looking forward to “The Holdovers”.
