Wanderer,

Movie is made. Women is good but meh. Man is excellent.

“Hey that guy was excellent”

Omg that’s so sexist! If you wasn’t sexist you would automatically say that the women is better than the man.

Tom_Hanx_Hail_Satan,

I’m just echoing the other comment. The worms have eat your brain.

WaxedWookie,

In case you’re in any doubt, people are downvoting you for your atrocious framing, obvious victim complex, and general cuntiness. The fact that most of your posts are whining about whateverthefuck woke means is just confirmation that the worms have eaten your brain.

Wanderer,

Gosling maybe deserved a nomination. Robbie didn’t. In an equality world all is well.

Yet some people, the orignal post, have an issue with that weirdly. I see no reason why I should change my opinion.

I actually thought Barbie was fairly egalitarian and not about men doing something better and getting recognition for it. Also the oscars are separated by sex anyway so the post doesn’t make any sense. Robbie got bested by other women.

WaxedWookie,

Your point/analysis isn’t the problem - the issue is the utter nonsense and reactionary bullshit underpinning it that you’re telegraphing for all to see. Your arse is showing, and I’m not sure you even realise it.

I agree with your point, but agreeing with someone practically screaming such nonsense is a pretty good reason for me to second-guess myself.

Wanderer,

It’s called satire. Guess it is too complicated for people nowadays. The message is exactly the same as the original message.

Good job my arse is lovely! What a treat.

WaxedWookie,

Ah - it’s Schrodinger’s asshole - throw out dumb reactionary nonsense, self-victimisation and whining about the nebulous concept of “woke”, and if it’s not well recieved, it was satire.

I’ll be charitable, put it down to Poe’s law, and recommend you give some kind of tell that you’re engaging in satire, because there was nothing in your post or what I saw of your post history that would indicate your nonsense isn’t sincerely believed.

Wanderer,

I’m not sure you understand what satire is.

WaxedWookie,

Yep - that, and not the dogshit takes you’re telegraphing behind that satire, which are validated almost immediately by a glance at your post history are the problem, Schrodinger.

I’ll let you get back to sobbing about whatever the fuck woke is taking over and ruining everything for you.

Tom_Hanx_Hail_Satan, (edited )

I’m not sure you understand what satire is. If you do you do it right. This reads as failed sarcasim followed by a “its just a joke, bro” lazy deflection.

Wanderer,

I’m not deflecting anything, not sure how it comes across like that. I made a satirical comment, explained it. I stand by it.

BigBenis,

Barbie was good. But my expectations going into it were greatly inflated by all the hype around it… Which sadly left me disappointed by it.

It happens to all these movies. Nice when you stumble across an unheard of underground film, but then the flip happens: “HOW DOES NOBODY KNOW ABOUT THIS??”

astral_avocado,

Like legitimately one of the best parts is Ken and his dance number, the director went hard on that and fucking aced it. I don’t remember much else from the film and about Barbie tbh

What about America Ferrera? She matters as much as Margot Robbie and got an Oscar nomination for her role in the film.

jivandabeast,

This, its not a snub. Barbie got a nomination for both actor and actress in the supporting categories.

LotrOrc,

Honestly Barbie just wasn’t a good movie and it really shouldn’t have gotten any nominations

It was over hyped and it was trash marketing for Matel.

And if you guys watched the movie it literally ended with Ryan gosling learning absolutely no lessons and just being like oh ok I can act like a dick and I’ll still get what I want?

Killers of the flower moon was far far better than both Oppenheimer and Barbie. Honestly don’t think Oppenheimer should have received so many nominations either.

feedum_sneedson,

Maybe he’s a better actor.

    I know it’s always meant to be, you’re a clown… But it just looks like your username with the clown face every time, not the person you’re trying to call a clown. Just sayin lol.

    well i’m just as surprised as the clown emoji to read such a shitty take, so as far as i’m concerned it still fits

    What was the movie about according to you?

    MedicPigBabySaver,

    How dogs shit next to trees.

    TropicalDingdong,

    I still haven’t seen it. Please hold back from spoilers.

    Wogi,

    It’s about Beach.

    TropicalDingdong,

    Damn now I never see

    Ken kills Dumbledore

    Arcane_Trixster,

    Triggered, huh?

    MedicPigBabySaver,

    Everyone should be, by Hollywood crapolla.

    Catoblepas,

    Why should people be triggered by “Hollywood crapolla”? This reminds me of that bit John Waters has about how a lady called the cops after renting Pink Flamingos.

    Why don’t they just turn it off if it’s offensive? Thats what I did when “Forrest Gump” started running.

    MedicPigBabySaver,

    Laughing at stupid banality is entertaining.

    Catoblepas,

    So it’s bad for a movie to make you laugh, and also you laugh when you’re triggered. Got it.

    MedicPigBabySaver,

    “Triggered” doesn’t mean shit. You’re just too stupid that you don’t understand that the current word of current affair is a pathetic misnomer.

    Believe it or not, people are allowed to like things you don’t like.

    AngryishHumanoid,

    Dumbfuck… can I call you “Dumbfuck”? Dumbfuck: if you had said you didn’t like the concept or plot or don’t like X as an actor or whatever that’s fine, I wouldn’t agree with you but that’s fine. But to say it’s just a “stupid shit movie” means ignoring excellent sets, excellent costumes, excellent casting, excellent cinematography, excellent writing, excellent line delivery, excellent music, etc. Not every great movie has good all of those things, this one did, so even if you didn’t like the message (which cleverly switched throughout the movie) any of those things still gives you something to appreciate. Unless you’re really fucking dumb, Dumbfuck.

    MedicPigBabySaver,

    Clearly, you’re the dumb fuck.

    Riccosuave,
    @Riccosuave@lemmy.world avatar

    Hmmm…this seems like something a dumb-fuck would say to deflect from their own dumb-fuckery, so I’m a bit skeptical 🫤 🤔 😘

    MedicPigBabySaver,

    Ah, dumb fuck deuce.

    RubberElectrons,
    @RubberElectrons@lemmy.world avatar

    Lmao.

    Well, those of us who’ve actually been intimate with and listened to women over the years understand that, while just a Hollywood movie, Barbie was a reasonably accurate commentary on how shitty this whole farce of “men do it best (yes everything)” winds up sucking for both men and women (and all in between).

    What didn’t you like? Did you expect a movie about toys coming to our world to have a haunting belabored plot that explored every realm of literary significance? Or are you sad that it made men being stupid actually as ridiculous as it looks?

    MedicPigBabySaver,

    Drivel

    Nawor3565,

    Having a hard time articulating any sort of argument, huh? Need a dictionary to teach you some more words? Or maybe an English class to teach you how to form a coherent, complete sentence?

    MedicPigBabySaver,

    Garbage is sufficient.

    Nawor3565,

    “it’s bad because I said so. No I don’t have to back my argument up.”

    Pleaae dont post pictures of text. Link to it. Transcribe it. Its necessary for blind folks

    CombatWombatEsq,

    Sorry, I haven’t quite figured out how to set alt text on images when posting from my phone quite yet — the website is easy because the entry box allows markdown, but my mobile client doesn’t seem to have a box for it? I’m working on figuring it out. But my understanding is that, with good alt text, pictures of text are fine for blind folks?

    Not surprised Robbie didn’t get a Best Actress nomination, but I really felt Gerwig was a shoo-in for Best Director. Gerwig can still walk away with Best Picture and/or Best Adapted Screenplay though, so it doesn’t feel like a total snub.

    jenny_ball,

    gosling shouldn’t have gotten it either

    I honestly am not pop culture literate enough to know if there is a genuine snub here or not, but I am socially aware enough that this is just so on the nose that it feels deliberate. Now, I’m not saying that it was, but come on academy, you had to be able to see this coming. In the end, these awards are subjective anyway, so a little self awareness might have been a good idea.

    JDubbleu,

    America Ferrera got an Oscar nomination for her performance in the movie…

    Goldenboy,

    A woman goes out to discover herself and the world, in a movie so colorful, I constantly smiled in my seat. A man on her side that struggles with his masculinity. A parental figure that is only there for the lead to discover how far she came. A family to be part of in the end.

    Poor things makes Barbies pink pale. In every aspect. Emma Stone stands without competition this year.

    Couplqnd,

    With all of is controversy with the Barbie movie and nominations next year we might see an expansion of the pool of nominations

    Smaller how TDK changed how the best picture nomination was awarded but we could do the same thing for actor and actress nominations. After 2008 a lot of people felt that the dark night was snub for best picture, so the academy changed the number of nominations that could be awarded for best picture. Originally only five movies could be nominated for best picture but after 2008 the minimum number of best picture nominees was 10. a few years later 10 was too much so they changed it to minimum 5 and maximum of 10 nominations. I think that’s a good compromise because some years have very good performances while other years have mediocre, but you can definitely find five performances that outshined everyone else and having a maximum of 10 nominations limits the number of people that can be nominated.

    I personally think we should remove the gendered nominations for acting actresses and instead separate them by age. Same way how the Grammys removed gender nominations, but instead for the academy. If you separate them by age, it makes more sense. Most older actors and actresses can’t play roles that are for younger actors and actresses and vice versa for young artists. It is also more inclusive for trans and non-binary artists. It also evens the playing field a little bit because generally speaking older performers have more experience so it’s harder for younger performers to be nominated.

    tomatolung,

    Great thoughts and proposals. Thank your for the history, insight, and forethought!

    Cringe2793,

    personally think we should remove the gendered nominations for acting actresses

    No this would be a bad idea. Then any time a man won (or got nominated like Ryan here), people will be like “omg patriarchy”. Look at what’s happening now. They’re not even nominated in the same category, and people are bitching. It’s gonna be so much worse if this is implemented. Men can’t get nominated at all.

    yarr,

    Maybe if it had a better plot in the first place, it would have attracted more awards. This movie will be forgotten in a decade or less.
