Why does it matter now though?

I am also fond of the Stark Tech demonstration with Tony posturing in the foreground from Iron Man. Mostly because it’s also a great bit of character building. 

I’m actually quite fond of that book as a prequel but wasn’t aware of any major controversy over it’s publication.

Yeah, I’m pretty much noping out of G/O sites. Even The Onion is too many shitty slideshows these days. 

I mean, it wouldn’t be out of place for Chris Hansen to have shown up when Lucy first goes to Narnia. “Hi there, Mr. Tumnus, I’m Chris Hansen. You wanna explain to me why you’re home alone with an unconscious 9-year-old daughter of Eve? You wanna explain what that magical Narnian flute is used for?”

And people still bitch that she was fridged even though that word has no meaning.

Hopefully it will have a good drop-off rate in its second weekend, which would probably let it eventually get to $600-700 million worldwide in box office. That’s not exactly a monster hit, but it will make money on the back end and serve as important franchise maintenance for Disney (IE justify Indiana Jones stuff at…

I feel like I would remember if there was a 4th one...

It’s a symmetry thing, if you take Oppenheimer, invert the colors, play it backwards, and watch it in a mirror, you get the Barbie movie.

When Barbie and Oppenheimer meet they annihilate each other, releasing clickbait.

Now I am become Skipper, destroyer of Dream Houses. 

I think it’s a physics thing that I assume they’ll explain in the movie. Something like for every barbie there is an equal and opposite anti-barbie. 

Somehow the reaction is different when Alec Baldwin says that.

Wouldn’t surprise me.

Somebody should make a show about two rival intimacy coordinators falling in love while making a steamy Disney+ series 

Movie-quality-considerations aside, it’s been in the theaters for a little more than a single day (and a day in which a lot of people are going to be traveling, no less), let’s not stick the knife into its ribs just yet.

This, exactly. A CinemaScore under A- is cause for concern. (Well, except sometimes one can turn an F into a marketing ploy, but that’s a big risk.)

Getting your kids to like what you like is too hard and ultimately unfulfilling.

I think you should let your kids like what they want to like without getting involved. Basically what ends up happening is they like what all the other kids like at school. This helps them socialize and have something to talk about.
