$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it… Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.

    Watching propaganda is not why I pirate. It’s to have access to the media that isn’t straight up propaganda.

      Barbie was a funny movie, the only people complaining about “the propaganda” are retards who don’t understand women are people.

        I thought the movie was kinda funny but mostly just a mess in terms of plot structure and tone. Calling it propaganda is hilarious. How fragile do you have to be to be triggered by a movie as tame as barbie. To me it amounted to a tiktok compilation of semi-funny feminist memes, hardly the ‘Blazing Saddles’ of feminism.

          Pretty much, the plot was dumb and the story wasn’t much better but that didn’t stop it from being a fun watch. Ironically Ryan Gosling, a man, was the best part of the movie.

          Tame is a good word to describe the messaging.

        The extremely bad, incoherent, absurd and contradictory script is not funny. The sexism, in this case tons of misandry, is not funny. And yes, the constant ideological propaganda of a hate movement is not funny.

        Just throwing around ad hominem labeling everyone who doesn’t like a misandric message as misogynists, or the false dichotomy that you must be a feminist and buy into their whole hate pack to be an egalitarian, now that’s retarded.

          Ironic, the only people who think you don’t like Barbie because you don’t think women are people, are people who don’t think men are people.

        A miss? Considering all the but-hurt, I hit the target precisely (to borrow your analogy). All post-2016 mainstream movies are propaganda.

      This user thinks Jimmy Hoffa proves all unions forever are bad, but demands rock-solid proof that Jordan Peterson does the thing he’s primarily known for doing.

      Leave.

        This user doesn’t understand nuance, and is sure all people who hold a different opinion are nazis and -ists.

          I got curious and looked at the comment the other guy referenced. I don’t think it leaves much room for nuance:

          Unions work, until they don’t. They are always corrupt in the end.

      Lmao you probably don’t blink an eye at the US Military funding the Transformers movies or having veto power for Marvel scripts.

      But yeah, sure, Barbie’s the propaganda.

        All post-2016 mainstream movies are propaganda. Quite a few before then of course. WW II films, ect. But Homeland Security has had their fingers in the Hollywood pie for a while now.

          Amazing. A Quiet Place was propaganda, but Iron Man was a piece of high art because

          -checks notes-

          it was made before 2016.

          Movies have been used as propaganda since they were invented. Maybe you’ve heard of a little film that came out in the 1930s call Tell Your Childres also known as Reefer Madness.

          Ah, there’s that nuance you mentioned.
