I’m not sure you would have been better off seeing Oppenheimer.

I haven’t seen it myself but I’m told it has a whole 15 minutes sex scene in it!

The Barbie movie is a bunch of FUN - & I think that is why it is so popular - why would any critic take it seriously is beyone me!

The Left have been making movies to push their agenda ever since movies were made.

So that is why I would never pay to watch any of them especially when I know they promote Feminism and Transgender lifestyles.

As movies are really a form of idolatry (making a likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth) I don't expect we will see one that promotes a biblical point of view.

This is part of our indoctrination MK Ultra mind control to make us corrupt.

Love your closing comments James, such a classic. I was reading some of your posts - they are all so good it is hard to pick - to a male relative and we were laughing so much I could hardly read. Thanks for your satirical humour in this crazy world 😄

That’s hilarious, James- Barbieheimer!! We chose Mission impossible and Indie instead. Pure escapism and fun!!

Elemental, the kids movie was the same as the Barbie movie you describe- could not not work out who it was aimed at. My grandkids were too busy playing on the playground in the theatre to watch it closely. Get this though- they provided play equipment and then asked the kids to be quiet!!! I just laughed at the staff member!!

Yeah it's definitely not a kids movie. Not because it's inappropriate. The dialogue just isn't aimed at them.

It’s just so tiresome that the movie makers think that instead of entertaining and escape, movies are political or teaching tools. The thing is we all learn when we are being entertained, wowed or made to laugh unconsciously. The Mission Impossible movie was interesting because amid the action AI and trans humanism was unconsciously being explored.

Ha ha (I'm always up for the laugh!) and here, here! Good wind up (see my book, Framed for the diversity in unity yarn) - I'm SO going to see Barbie now!

BTW the male film reviewer in The Weekend Australian gave the movie 4.5 stars (out of 5) Wow! who would have thought! He titled it ‘wonderful and completely bananas’

Bananas is accurate

Grand sermon James, beginning with your hilarious review of the movie then moving into the meat of God’s truth finishing with your own Marvel fantasy - well done indeed 👏👏

‘Barbieheimer’ and ‘BarbieKong’

Genius.

You just know someone’s pitching those films to a producer somewhere as we speak.

I certainly hope someone is. I'd totally see it.

I’m pleased that you have taken one for the team James. That saves me.

I doubt that I would like the movie but then it’s not aimed at grumpy old blokes and surely it is just as believable as the never ending line of superheroes violently saving the world from aliens or zombies.

Movies aren’t what they used to be.

Barbie would be great for a grumpy guy like you! Go on ... I dare you!

I love a challenge but this one might be beyond me.

I love the guys at The Daily Wire, but am wondering if it’s a slow news day when they rant over a dumb movie.

Hahaha ... totally! We led The Late Debate with the Barbie Movie last night. Slow. News. Day.

for the next instalment of "Please explain" perhaps Miss Senator Hanson could take her class to the Barbie Movie. I am sure Adam Bandt and crew would love to write a movie review on this movie as a school assignment!

Please Explain is one of my favorite things in life alongside coffee, North Melbourne Football Club and my kids! :)
