"Barbie" was a huge success," but "Strange World," "The Marvels" and "The Color Purple" did not do well. Ticket buyers are sending the message: "We just want to be entertained, no homework attached," The Times

How is mentioning climate change “excluding” anyone?

Cause they're in the same boat as anti-vaxxers and flat-earth truthers. It's all forced woke made-up liberal hollywood agenda to them.

I remember when they started foaming at the movie over that movie with Betty Gilpin, the Hunt(?). Crying that it was left wing propaganda about how republicans would hunt people for sport. Then when the movie came out, they all of a sudden went silent. Because it was really a movie giving a critique on online culture, where we forget that the person on the other end of the screen is a person too, and how people can be radicalized with just a few mouse clicks.

I've been meaning to watch that film.

It’s an okay movie, the actors did the best they could with what they were given. The writing could have been a little tighter.

Cause these people get offended and feel targeted when you try to mention anything scientific or based in reality.

Cause climate change does not align with rural values duh

It’ll offend the kind of people who are stupid enough to bring their infants out to 100+ degree weather and not realize why said kids die of heatstroke.
