@CindyWeinstein How can anybody take "The Academy" seriously after this?

@TomMarcinko. Clearly, they didn't watch #Barbie or maybe more to the point didn't the gravity of the critique because it was so funny and so pink!

@CindyWeinstein I saw it the day after I saw OPPENHEIMER (yes, really:) I thought it was hilarious, and like nothing I'd ever seen before. You know ... innovative.

@CindyWeinstein I will agree about America. She deserves a nomination. But honestly I think Barbie is just a weird blockbuster. It is amateurish at times (like made for TV, SNL skit quality). It doesn't commit to being a musical (it's like one musical number short). Lady Bird is a far better movie, and we all know Gerwig is going to make a really good film again. But I'll say this, I watched the whole movie and enjoyed it. I can't say the same about Everything Everywhere All At Once.

@brendo. I liked Lady Bird a lot, too, though unlike you, I found #Barbie profound. I loved the musical parts (reminded me of #ByeByeBirdie). I also loved how capacious it was: #death, #life, #body image, #toxic #masculinity, #parenthood. Funny and moving.

@wlf_warren. The cultural critique writes itself. 😡
