I Confess I Watched Barbie
It’s time to clear the air
There is something I need to get off my chest. It’s been vexing me for a few days now, and it’s time to clear things up. Please know that I would only share something like this with my closest friends and casual acquaintances. Don’t think less of me, but……
I watched the Barbie movie.
This is not something I would have done normally, but I bent to peer pressure when my wife expressed an interest in seeing what it was all about. She reasoned with me that it was cheaper to watch it at home instead of going to a movie at the theater, and she would make pizza and popcorn. In a moment of weakness, I agreed and went along with it. Pizza and popcorn do that to me.
With the remote in hand, my wife found the movie and placed the “order” to rent it. At $24.99 on Amazon Prime Video, it wasn’t any more expensive (or any cheaper) than going to the actual theater. The popcorn at home, however, is significantly cheaper and we would not have to negotiate a dark and crowded parking lot when the movie concluded.
There would be no one like Lauren Boebert vaping and singing either.
