We all found the movie very funny, especially some of the Ken scenes. We were laughing out loud at times uncontrollably.
The "beach you off" scene was pretty ingenious.
The main thing that I personally felt was that I couldn't relate to these portrayals of "men". I've just never been that "bro" person, and I can illustrate with a story about how our family functions.
One of my daughters broke up with her long time boyfriends a while back and was pretty heartbroken about it, but I have to hand it to my kids because they are generally very well wired, really intelligent but also emotionally very mature. After the usual mourning period of a week or two, she started to think things through logically.
To her surprise, her boyfriend asked to get back together and SHE had decided she didn't want to after being the one dumped on.
She wanted to "think about it".
I was pretty surprised so we did the usual father daughter talks, and she decided she wanted some things to change if she was going to get back into this relationship. So she had the talk with her ex and they managed to work things out and things are very different now.
She was 21 when this happened, so barely an adult in human years but a fully mature adult in emotional IQ.
They got back together after a trial period and now they are happier than ever.
This is the world I live in, and how our family operates so I just can't relate to the "bros" in that movie.
That's not saying it DOESN'T happen. I know it does.
My daughters and female friends tell me how often they get **** pics and lewd comments in their inboxes and it is MUCH more common than the average man realizes. Lewd comments, genitals, creepy stuff thrown their way is actually the norm for women, but and this is a big BUT, this leads me into my 2nd point.
And I'm going to make that point after I think about it a bit. I have some work to do.
Wait, was this the review or just a prequel???

Mike, what is the key issue moderation is concerned with driving this new sensitivity to non-comic book movies and shows content if it isn't leading to heated or distracting debates?
Even with The Water Cooler area, it is on a comic books, coins, posters, games cards and more forum (recognizing The Water Cooler is made up of these folks). So whether it is on the west or east side of town, you're still in town.
Why not have a consolidated area for all-things games, movies and shows in addition to discussions about their industries and trends? Just one area on these topics.
I would like to have an all movie section, no comic relation required. It makes sense to have them together somewhere other than the WC where they get lost quickly.

Where is Barbie currently streaming if it even is at this point?
I will watch it when it streams on HBO…. sorry, “MAX.” I think it’s been available on Youtube or Amazon for a price.

We will all be waiting in suspense. I will book a three hour block for tomorrow to read it all.

The one released in 1996 starring Michael Jordan. I don't know about another one with LeBron.

Judging by his flopping ability on the court and his fake crying, I though that he would have Oscar / Emmy winning performances.

colleagues. The only exception is racquetball, which I played often with a couple of my fellow animators on Space Jam.
The real Space Jam right, not the one with LeBron?

I thought it was obvious from the first read of the AI provisions but some actors have finely digested it. All this did was guarantee that they get paid the day they scanned or upgraded if their AI version becomes more of a principle role.
There are no protections that prevent you from being let go if you refuse to allow a scan and nothing preventing it from being a condition before being hired.

Please stop before someone feels that because James Cameron directed the film, that the iceberg was another example of female empowerment meant to emasculate the male represented Titanic.
That would be ridiculous. Everyone knows the iceberg was symbolic of rampant racism.

ability to succinctly post
I have to disagree with this part. Even if Roy types something true, it is rarely succinctly.

It's already been done. Many many times. When was rhe last time a big crowd of battles scene was not heavily CGI characters.
It sounds like they have to notify you and pay you for the scan but I see nothing protecting you from being forced to do it or be booted.

Here is a SAG summary of the AI portion of the contract since it came up a lot in this thread. The written contract portion is a lot of pages.

So tell me, why has our union, IATSE, in it's 126 year history, has never gone on strike yet the actors and writers and directors do?
Maybe you guys will in the future and maybe you should if not getting what you deserve. Nothing can happen or be completed without you all. Is your contract up in 24 or 25?

Exactly. He just posted so I don’t know why people want to petition for him to be allowed to post. That’s just…odd. I sure hope they didn’t mean to ask for him to be able to sell here again. No way.
I am glad that people believe he has changed. I truly hope that it is true. No way to know. Too often people don’t change, just become smarter.
