Barbie movie is about to be the biggest messaging backfire since Full Metal Jacket.

I knew that would get a response from you fanboy. Did I claim it was anyone specifically on this site?

Hahaha

 

[n_huffhines]

Are you sure? It came out in 1987 and military enlistment has declined since. What are you basing this on?

As far as Full Metal Jacket goes ... I loved the first part of the movie at Parris Island. R. Lee Ermey was awesome as the drill instructor. I don't see how that would have inspired anyone to enlist in the Marines, however .... unless you just like being cussed out.

Can never have enough Onion.

The difference is the Barbie movie is so cringe worthy woke, it went to the other side....it is a mockery of all things woke, and thus has become a new sardonic humor comment on woke culture. Anti woke meme culture loves it. Then just add to the irony of a "Barbie" movie being about feminism...is just hilarious.

Have you seen the movie?

DIL took granddaughter to see it, granddaughter lasted about 30 minutes before she was bored. She's almost 6 so she gets bored easily.

White men have become the weakest species on earth. White women are a a close second.

Somebody hose down this white man....

The film has been banned in Vietnam. It is truly sad that the Vietnamese people won’t be able to experience this iconic movie.

Clearly they want to go to war with us again.

I doubt that full metal jacket was banned in Vietnam.

That is one thing about the boycott calls that bothers me ... they hadn't seen the movie. Nobody had. The boycott calls began way back in May. They were making assumptions.

Also ... Does the target audience of a movie about Barbie dolls watch Fox News, or pay attention to politics at all? Did Ted Cruz really think his boycott strategy was going to keep young girls from seeing this movie? The boycott stuff was so stupid.

Probably because that 12 year old female sniper nearly took out an entire unit. Charlie loves that scene.

Is there a "G-String Barbie" depicted by any chance? That would be a good look on Margot.

LOL.

It's probably more popular than The Deer Hunter. The Russian roulette scenes upset the Vietnamese government so much that Christopher Walken and Robert DeNiro were banned just for being in those scenes.

Seen that flick many times but never knew anything about the bold comments, thanks.

... and there is no record of any prisoners of war in Vietnam ever being forced to play Russian roulette. That was probably fiction.

Deer Hunter was the better film.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Deer Hunter was the better film.

Agreed. Full Metal Jacket was boring once they got to Vietnam.

 

[McDad]

Agreed. Full Metal Jacket was boring once they got to Vietnam.

Agreed. The opening Act is the movie.

I didn't care for Deer Hunter, though.

 

[SamRebel35]

Critical drinker's review of this was pretty good. He recommends mom's to not be tricked by the marketing. This movie is not remotely interesting for little girls as the creators seem to actually hate Barbie (see Rian Johnson hating Luke Skywalker as a parallel).

Did you like Platoon or Apocalypse now?

I liked Platoon over AN. To be fair, I get bored with the tropes overdone in Vietnam War movies.
