Note: this is my honest response, in brief, over seeing one of the best films of the year...

Crowded in hard seats...

Rush of story and image.

Barbie can't compete...

Smile for the camera?

    I’m a Barbie girl in a Barbie world, but I liked your critique. 🎀

  • I've not watched both of these but I'll take your word for it!

    I still haven't watched this movie as it wasn't showing in the cinema near my place. But I did catch Barbie, and it was okay, I suppose.

  • Of course Barbie can't compete. They're two completely different things. One, an Oscar contender, the other just a whole lot of fun. And what did you think of Robert Downey, Jr.'s performance????????

    I’ll see it eventually. Saw the movie fat man and little boy many years ago.

    Interesting

  • "crowded in hard seats" haha that's a lot of seeing a newly released film. Even though I wrote a story about barbenheimer, I haven't seen either, I think I might be more of a Mission Impossible kind of guy.

    Nice one! I haven't seen either cause I haven't found the time. I have a feeling I'll enjoy them both, but yes. One is for fun, one is for thought.
