[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found the whole movie to be a big, ol’ sloppy mess with lots of starts and no finishes. I don’t get why they even had the America Ferrara part. It was tangential and superficial. She and her daughter have lost their connection and silly, white daddy doesn’t get either of them, but suddenly Barbie appears and they’re all bff. What was up with Mattel corporate knowing about Barbieland? And trying to keep it under wraps? It came off as an empty pathetic attempt at surrealism,  it really it was pseudo intellectual nonsense. And don’t even get me started on the ghost of Ruth Handler.  And why does it end with Barbie going to the Gyno? They might as well have played “I’m ever Woman.” Or did they?

What a mess! The movie wasn’t funny and it wasn’t deep! It was cheesy, heavy handed and basic!

I hated Ladybird too, so from now on, no matter how good the reviews are, I vow to avoid anything by Greta Gerwig. She is not my type![/quote]

After reading your comment, I can’t take your opinion seriously.[/quote]

Because you were able to take the opinion of an anonymous stranger seriously before reading that comment?

You could have just said:[b] I loved the movie [/b]and disagree with your opinion. But based on the unnecessarily convoluted way you expressed your simple opinion, [b]I can see why you liked the Barbie movie and Greta Gerwig. [/b]She’s expresses herself just like you do. [/quote]

You are fundamentally misunderstanding my comment, which is not unexpected. Not being able to take your earlier comment seriously is wholly unrelated to my opinion of the movie.[/quote]

No, I didn’t misunderstand your comment. There was literally nothing to misunderstand. You wrote one sentence. It said, “After reading your comment I can’t take your opinion seriously.” There is nothing profound in that statement.

But let’s break it up if it helps:

1) “After reading your comment,”: you read my critique of Barbie and why I didn’t like it. (I can also assume that based on the fact you cut and paste the one and only comment I made up until that point on this thread.); and

2) “I can’t take your opinion seriously.” Now here is the guts, the area for misinterpretation. What could it possibly mean? It’s such a deep concept. Why is this stranger not taking my opinion seriously? Did I misrepresent myself to said stranger? Was I expecting my opinion to be accepted like that of a prophet?

The stranger says I misunderstand his/her enigma of a comment. He/she said it 
 “[was not unexpected,” so complex was the concept.

Seriously, are you high or something?

Oh, sorry - I didn’t mean to confuse you. What I meant was that I couldn’t take your opinion seriously because your earlier comment seemed like it was written by a 12-year-old. I see that you were able to tighten things up in your subsequent comment. Good for you![/quote]

I can’t say the same for you. You’re so condescending, but you couldn’t even articulate what you didn’t like about my first comment. (You can’t articulate period.)

I thought the Barbie movie was awful and I went into detail explaining why I didn’t like it. ([b]It’s a mess, a lot of nothing. Anytime I see anything by Greta Gerwig, I feel like I’m hanging out with an annoying high school drama girl who laughs too hard at her own jokes and sleeps with the teacher to get the lead.[/b])

If you’re going criticize my opinion with the unjustified tone of a professor, why don’t you ARTICULATE what you didn’t like about it. Instead of saying it sounded like it was “written by a 12-year-old,” describe what about it was immature. You can’t.

Thanks for the word of confidence about my ability to “tighten up” my writing Professor Nobody, but you can’t put two words together into a meaningful thought. How does someone as incoherent and disjointed as you have the audacity to appraise others?

It’s truly amazing. I think you must be a bot. There’s no other explanation. The only reason I’m responding to you is that I’m hoping there’s some data collecting program that will analyze reviews and maybe, just maybe producers won’t find anymore terrible Greta Gerwig films. It’s wishful thinking, but it’s all I can do.[/quote]

NP - misogynist much?!?! Shocking you didn’t like the movie.

Also, your post is 💧💧💧 with condescension.

I thought the movie had issues, but I’m not going to attack the director as being unlikable because that’s what we’re fighting against.
