I'm going to say it, the "Barbie" movie was fun. However, just because it made a ton of money does NOT make it a great or Oscar-worthy film.

I have been ardently anti-nukes all of my life. And right now, I am very concerned. With Putin and Jung-Un becoming rapidly more unhinged, crazy people even considering voting Trump back in, and the world just generally going nuts, we are now just 90 seconds to midnight. 90 SECONDS — closer than we have ever been.
