Yes, “Barbenheimer” is a term now. It’s a freaking meme, and a quite well done one at that. Indeed, it’s well enough done IMRHO that I’m posting about it – mostly because I find the image above disturbingly compelling.
And, I’m actually pretty sure that there’s some deeper sociological meaning to the Barbenheimer meme’s prevalence and popularity. After all, Barbie in many fundamental ways is the child of Oppenheimer’s work.
Oh dear! After 62 years of inceldom, Ken finally “got some.” It was his first and last sexual experience. Ah well, Ken died happy at least.
Simplifying The Barbie Movie
Simplifying the Barbie movie is easy. It can be summed up with one sentence: Ken’s her bitch and he’s happy about that. 😆
With Disney’s attempt to re-envision The Little Mermaid being a flop, one has to wonder if they’ll soon try it again. The above seems like a likely 2nd attempt.
Really! This is sage advice. Don’t ever judge a book by the movie adaption of it. This is especially true of actual novel-length works since they contain far too much content for a single movie.
Oh! And yes, this holds true in both directions. If you liked the movie, you may still dislike the book, or even hate it – e.g., I know of very, very few people who enjoyed Starship Troopers as a movie who also didn’t hate Heinlein’s actual 1959 novel.
