I do still really like it. On rewatches I have softened on my stance a little. I love movies within movies, so that's a plus. Downey Jr and a lot of the side characters like McConaughey, McBride, and Nolte make me laugh a bit still. For me, Jack Black gets a little old and what I said to Andy above is true for me - the 2nd half gets a little too Stillery for me to fully love it as a whole.I love tropic thunder.

I didn’t really get that one either.I'd always heard Tropic Thunder was funny.
All the jokes must come after the first unfunny 45 minutes.
I wanted to watch a movie last night that I knew I wouldn’t have to pay too close attention to because I was pretty drained. Not sure how I landed on The Goodbye Girl but boy did it surprise me, had some real heart and laughs. A little dated in spots and I’m still not a huge Dreyfuss fan but this movie had a certain something. I was pleasantly surprised.
The excessiveness was the pointIt took us 3 sessions to get through Babylon. Broken up into 3 one hour episodes made it somewhat bearable but overall not worth watching. There was some potential there and a couple of funny moments but it was a mess.
eta: they should have cut the Toby McGuire scene out completely.
Oh that would have been real interesting to see Bobby in that. Also I did perk up a little when I saw Neil Simon in the credits, I had no idea. The only thing I knew about the movie was Dreyfuss won an Oscar for it.I wanted to watch a movie last night that I knew I wouldn’t have to pay too close attention to because I was pretty drained.

Neil Simon's dialog still (mostly) shines 50 years later. The Goodbye Girl wasn't adapted from one of his plays so it's a little less theatrical.
Robert De Niro was originally cast in the Dreyfuss role.

Now I need to return the favor and finally watch a couple of your suggestions.I guess I did knock out Amadeus last year finally. I did intend to buy Lawrence of Arabia 4K the other day, but when I looked it was about $100+. Nope. I ended up with Blade Runner 2049 and Pulp Fiction instead.

Love Gerwig. She was the reason why I wanted to see the movie that turned into a steaming pile of plastic social commentary.Even cinema‘a most famous curmudgeon Paul Schrader loved Barbie. Said “Just returned frok GRETALAND”. It’s her world now.” My favorite explanation on what makes the movie work beyond the music comedy is from Variety:
an exuberant jokey carnival of fourth-wall-breaking doll’s-house-as-rabbit-hole feminist surrealism — a candy-colored Dreamhouse burlesque that adores Barbie and resents her at the same time, that tweaks the patriarchy even as it treats Ken as the film’s most complicated character, and that has the wit to recognize that Barbie isn’t just a plaything, she’s a metaphysical projection of feminine ideals who also has the effect of undermining who women are.
yeah you get it, it happens. Comedies are especially tough to translate along age and time.The longer I live, the more I relate to Ed Tom Bell from No Country for Old Men. Substitute in "culture" for crime in "I don't know what to make of that. I sure don't. The crime you see now, it's hard to even take its measure."
I suppose it's always been thus though.
I've never been one for comedies much. I think in my entire library of digital/discs - which number about 400 - I think I own eight comedies. And some of those I'm pretty sure I got for free.yeah you get it, it happens.

It certainly didn't present any grand new ideas but it was self aware and I thought balanced things quite well. It held Barbie was as a feminist hero while also acknowledging how Barbie is also kind of everything many feminists fight against. The men were a joke but yet in the end, Barbie opted for the real world where men have more power over her fake "perfect" world and of course the female Barbies of the "perfect" world mistreated the males of their world showing that it was far from actually being perfect. Again, not genius necessarily, but quite intelligent for a comedy aiming to work for preteen audiences as well as adults. In the end, it was a comedy and you either find those funny or you don't. I thought it was hilarious but I also had the benefit of seeing it in a sold out show opening night. Nothing can beat a comedy with a crowd.We withheld judgement from our teenagers to get their unbiased take after seeing Barbie. Their views were pretty close to ours... ok, fun, but not getting the hype. A couple lol moments for me (not my wife), but otherwise pretty forgettable and lacking new insight or ideas into things, despite it's decent self awareness. Wanted it to be... more. Of anything.
My wife cried as wellMy 17 year old daughter teared up at the end..... I did not see it and most likely won't
Do zombie movies count?As I prep for my October Horror Movie Fest where I aim to watch 31 scary movies, drop me some suggestions of possibly a little lesser known scary movies available on streaming.

I really want you to check out Messiah of Evil if you can find it. It looks like it's on Prime/AMC/Paramount+. I'm still not sure what I watched, and I planned on a rewatch. Just a bizarre, very visual movie I hadn't heard of.As I prep for my October Horror Movie Fest where I aim to watch 31 scary movies, drop me some suggestions of possibly a little lesser known scary movies available on streaming.
