I was not sure if I wanted to see
Barbie. I certainly didn't want to see it together with
Oppenheimer. But the funny thing is, I still didn't review
Oppenheimer, while here I am reviewing
Barbie. I think I have the same reason here as with
Nope as of why I avoided it. You know
Nope was directed by a black man. And it was one of its main selling points.
Barbie is directed by a woman. And everybody is talking about it. And it feels forced to watch a movie for that kind of reason. So I avoided
Barbie until now. But since I had a
Ryan Gosling marathon, I though that I might as well get into this film. And oh my god. I have thoughts!
Piranha II 1982 taught James Cameron how not to make sequels

We all know that
James Cameron is a master when it comes to making sequels. His films like
Terminator 2,
Avatar 2 and
Aliens are extremely good examples of how to make a sequel right. Unlike
Steven Spielberg that avoids sequels. Steven avoided doing the second
Jaws movie. James Cameron goes for it and wins. Speaking of Steven Spielberg's
Jaws, not only sequels from that film were produced. Rip-offs, like the 1978
Piranha by
Joe Dante also were produced. Those were parody material B-movie exploitation films. And so writer / director James Cameron decided to take the project of making a sequel to that
Jaws rip-off, with his 1982
Piranha II: The Spawning.
