Comment on How's the "Barbie" movie? [SPOILERS]

Honestly I’m trying to figure out if going to the theater is supporting the strike or not supporting the strike.
This movie looks silly and fun and I always want to support the people directly involved in the production, but they’ve already been paid. I want to show my displeasure with the studio execs. Feels like a mixed message to help deliver a blockbuster.
But I also don’t want to live in a streaming-only world.
What the hell. I’ll go see it.
Going to the theater supports the strike:

“Am I crossing the picket line by seeing one of those movies?
No, the unions have not asked fans to boycott productions, and are quick to make that explicit. Instead, the guilds have asked supporters who aren’t members to post on social media and donate to community funds.”

Attaboy.
Just be vocal about your support of the strike, and it’ll be fine. Hopefully.

The movie was… shockingly good?? A real surprise. Silly in the beginning but with a deeper undertone and then a real tearjerker near the end. And tonally it all blended together pretty well. I really enjoyed it

I’m glad that you did.
