There are full-grown men who won’t wash their rear end because touching it is gay

There was an article in the NYT recently about how young boys don’t know what it means to be masculine anymore (not for the “guys should eat meat and fart and watch monster trucks OORAH” set but for, like, average teens and 20 somethings) and while it’s easy to write that off as tiniest violin poo poo those are the kids that are getting turned by the Andrew Tates and Jorps of the world so it seems like a good idea to maybe try to give them some sort of framework for just being a decent human being before they start making fun of people for loving cup choices, of all things

Ask yourself why you need a decade of mental preparation to see a movie about a toy, or a movie about a dude.

If you're not a fan of either Greta Gerwig or Christopher Nolan (or interested in either Barbie or the history of the atomic bomb) then I understand not being into the Barbenheimer phenomenon.

I like both filmmakers and the subject matters, so this was right up my alley.

Not really, the marketing is mainstream and innocuous enough that I know lots of (mainly older) people who have seen it and have varying opinions, but upon reading about it after the fact change their minds. But, its one of those things where if you are already down that path, its gonna be a Hyperspace lane to full blown.

It got wide audiences with the woo woo dipshit moms in our neighborhood Facebook. The one pushing it was talking about filtering “the NEUROTOXIN fluoride” from the city water a month or so ago.

I also noticed that trend with a lot of things that aren't girl related, but maybe girl-adjacent? Like my friend refused to tell anyone the name or sex of the child they were expecting until after she was born. He said when he first told people (family even!) the name of their first born, before she was born, some people had really negative opinions or reacted with "really?" And it wasn't like a Star Wars or Game of Thrones or some name ripped from pop culture, it was a normal regular name that plenty of people walk around with everyday! It seemed like a lot of other decisions they made about their child were suddenly in the purview of people who were not the parents of said child. I can understand having a serious and frank conversation with someone over something dangerous, but it was over poo poo like clothing choices and colors.

Also, people just judging like the smallest choices too. "Oh you are getting that flavor coffee?" or over other movie poo poo. I am so tired of it and it has become a quick and easy litmus test of people I just never willingly interact with.

Yeah, I've been guilty of making fun of pop culture that was popular with women in the past, despite my love of popular 90's shojo anime. Taylor Swift's been the butt of so many jokes for her entire adult life now, and any time something becomes popular with young girls, that instantly becomes a target of mockery and ire. It's pretty ridiculous, and sadly I don't think a lot of people notice it. I didn't at the time.

Also agreed about the choices thing too. It's tiresome. Yeah, I like this flavor, gently caress you, you're not the one drinking it

You... don't? That's not what I was saying, but you did kinda stumble into the basic thrust of it. You have a movie about a toy and a movie about a dude. Neither of these has seemed to be something anyone has been clamoring for at any point that I can remember in the last ten (or more) years but suddenly they're both Big Deals that everyone wants to see and I don't get it. :shrug:

I think it is for a few reasons but obviously since covid there hasn't been a ton of big movies that have hit theaters only is a big one. Both have been heavily marketed for a while now is another. Barbie at least in the trailers we have seen looks to hit all the right notes and looks fun and appeals to adults. Nolan doing his practical magic and making a bomb plus him hyping the special IMAX has really helped as well.

When is the last time a non-superhero movie been hyped like these two?

It’s a company named Stanley that makes camping equipment. The “cup” is a Yeti style double wall metal one with a handle.

It wasn’t selling well until some lady influencer posted about them and then they blew up.

You’re looking at it wrong. People don’t give a poo poo that the movies are about Oppenheimer or Barbie beyond the fact that the subject matter seem to be very much in their wheelhouses. Nolan and Gerwig are critical darlings and people are hyped about the stuff they make.

I never liked the band Type O Negative whenever I heard them in the past, but a song came up on my Spotify playlist and I was listening to them some at work, and the album Bloody Kisses has a handful of pretty good songs on it. I tossed Black No. 1, Christian Woman, and Summer Breeze on my playlist. Christian Woman sounds exactly like some song I have on my playlist somewhere, but I am unable to place it, identical tempo/cadence or whatever musical terms I do not know.
