“Barbie” has answered the billion-dollar question with a resounding “yes.” Barely three weeks into its run, writer-director Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster has raked in an astounding $1.03 billion at the global box office, according to official Warner Bros. estimates. This makes Gerwig the first solo female director with a billion-dollar movie.

Damn, if you check out some Right Wing videos on YouTube they’ll tell you all about how the movie failed financially and how it was a massive flop.

I put off watching the critical drinkers video on it until I went to go see it myself. Actually enjoyed the movie quite a bit, was able to understand the hyper feminist tones were obviously very intentionally ironic. Then you go watch this guy's review and its all lost on him.

Critical Drinker sucks.

Pitch Meeting is where it's at.

I thought he was funny when I first saw a couple of his videos like a year or two ago. Probably because the videos were about really bad movies.

And then I realized if a movie had a female main character in it (gasp!) most of the "review" was going to be him shitting on her using whatever big words he looked up. Doesn't matter if the movie itself was good or bad. Women bad!

I love the old ass show Sledgehammer for the main character being a chauvinist and condescending ass to women but it's very satirical and making fun of that whole attitude. And that was in the 80s

Well, that works for their audience because, spoiler, the "did my own research" crowd never goes beyond the blowhard source
