Barbie

[davidscott]

Green Acres was one of all-time favorite sit coms back when I was a youngster. Sam was indeed a man for all ages.

I went into the theater having no idea what it was about.

I thought it was hilarious. Dumb as hell, but hilarious. Ryan stole the show.

I told my wife that it's the millennial white girl's Blazing Saddles.

I think your assessment is spot on!

 

[TLS Guy]

It's cheese pop, but there is some good bass in the music. But Gosling singing Matchbox 20 and the women singing Indigo Girls is hilarious!

The very deep bass was artificially added I suspect. The instruments would not normally keep shaking the floor and rattling your internal organs like that. I suppose you have to throw a bone to the sub crowd to justify their purchases. I doubt the pro subs of cinemas would reproduce it anyway.

As if either of you even understand the meaning of woke.....except in the perverted republican interpretation.....just sad. I expect it of Mikado, not so much William....but wtf.

LuvNuts, you really need to get a life. LOL, but if I got you to raise an eyebrow and make a comment all is good !
Take your Barbie to bed tonight and give her a squeeze

Don't think he has a main squeeze, but could be wrong.

Not sure I understand it either, but it seems like an addition to the insult vocabulary to me. I don't think I would appreciate the woke label anyhow.

Most definitely the "right" is using it as an insult when it isn't one.

You mean if you are woke, you are part of the loony left?

I lean left more than right but wouldn't call it loony....the right is where the real loons reside in this country (and europe) at this time. Drumph's and the rest of loony maga crowd are way loonier than the "left" (which in the US isn't very "left"). I am an old white guy so woke really doesn't apply either way.

Just stayin' awake is better than being woke anyhow....and the older you get, the harder that gets.
By the same token, stayin' asleep lately seems to be the hardest thing I've ever done in my 67 years.

Actually I find it harder these days to sleep the older I get, especially the staying asleep part. I've always been somewhat a night owl and generally operated well on 5-6 hours of sleep in my working days..... and when the weather is constant rain/ice/snow around here the last few weeks, it gets weird.

LOL my life is more diverse than yours I think. Sorry, not into the sex doll thing....after the same gal for so long that's what you think of?

The other woke.
The kind where you don't face sentencing for storming the capitol building.
But not so woke that you use the word sheople.

So you think the d-bags storming the capitol should be recused as drumphy is promising? Surprising from you.

[Alex2507]

So you think ...?

No, almost never.

English language is getting so dam complicated. I think I'll hide behind measurements and numbers.

An interesting side article to share... seems to hit all the key points from origin to modern usage in appropriated contexts (in other words, as societal dog-whistle for both the right and the left ).

How being "woke" lost its meaning

Stay woke: How a Black activist watchword got co-opted in the culture war.

With that, I'm out. Not feeling up to social soapboxing beyond sharing that.

Peace, Love and Rock'n'Roll, B!tches!

I really need to get around to watching this movie.
