But beyond that this interpretation is so edgy it hurts lol. It comes from a purest mindset.
Hilarious when a simplistic childs movie gets this kind of attention.

I for one really liked the hip-hop/funk song commentary on how pop was stealing everybody else’s stuff, And everybody else got pissed off about it. And I personally know people who have the same attitude as Poppy when it comes to attitudes about country music. Everyone spouts off about how they sing about their wife taking their truck and their dog and leaving.
Those tropes have been around for a very long time.
Rock has always had disdain for Pop. How is that in accurate?

I for one have been plowing through Criterion more than any of the other streaming services lately, ADMIRE ME.

Also if y’all are looking for a good watch on there, check out “Diva” before it leaves at the end of the month.

Might I also suggest “Steven Universe”?

That’s when rock was considered a force of freedom and rebellion against the establishment. Now rock is the establishment and is considered a force of reactionaryism.

I enjoy several McElroy podcasts and I still don’t want to see this.

Why do we have to keep acting like watching big budget blockbuster movies a psychically fulfilling and not just a fun, dumb thing to do?

This comment hits differently when you read it a second time and realize it didn’t register when you read it the first time because you were high

… And I definitely don’t want to see this.

… But I have to, because it has a McElroy or something in it and my partner is really excited about that lol.

Hey but I do like most genres of music…

Is there a single film that wouldn’t be improved by a cameo from an animated version of 100 gecs?

Oh my fucking god ! Noel
Troll hahahahahababa

Or devolve after 35 when you just can’t seem to give a shit anymore with 2 kids wearing you down at every move. you can talk yourself into anything at that point.

Additionally, I was definitely not going to watch this, but then Red Velvet K-Pop trolls happened and fuck just maybe.

Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, Star Versus the Forces of Evil and Over the Garden Wall all have genuinely compelling stories. Those have been our favorites.

I have a nine-year-old daughter and a three-year-old son. We’ll probably watch this at some point.

I need to mix-up my son’s viewing habits, though. He’s been watching nothing but movies where the dad dies or is dead (Lion King, Star Wars, Onward). He’s started telling me that his stuffed animals are sad because their daddy “didn’t make it”.

Hopefully no troll dads die in this.

Isn’t it more fun just to name 2 or 3 artists you’ve been into lately?

Boy do I love Mystery Train so much

Is this pic why there’s an ad for ulcerative colitis treatments between the article and the comments, Scott?

JT also said in that interview he wants to do 7 Trolls movies 🙃

I feel personally attacked.

Some people’s tastes stop evolving at age 11.

That’s precisely the ratio of “Bravo” to “Shame” that I aim for. Guess I don’t have to go to the railway station after all to feel validated.

The Wyld Stallyns are actually coming back!!!

This comment is absolutely horrible, horrible I say.
And perfect in every way.
Bravo, Bravo, Shame, Bravo

The quality of kids’ entertainment has improved considerably over time. Comparing the original Duck Tales to the new one, for example, is like going from an AMC Pacer to a Tesla.

Thankfully most children’s entertainment has improved and in some ways is the best it’s ever been, so while my kids love this shit, they also love stuff like Pixar (and Disney’s better offerings) and Ghibli and GKIDS. Even Netflix kids shows like “Storybots” offer surprisingly entertaining, legitimately educational material.

The first movie was not terrible. Even the Netflix show is dumb fun.

So the target audience is very excited for it and kids at this age are really finding out what they like and dislike and what their friends like and dislike. I get it’s dumb and easy to be cynical about it and it’s certainly not Inside Out, but for an 8 year old, it’s probably at a level she can handle.

What really blew me away is at her orthodontist appointment a couple of months ago, Pre-COVID Era, the assistant was telling her friend (both young and childless) how great the Trolls movie was.

I’ve shown my kids the Squatty Potty infomercial dozens of times and I’d never noticed the steam coming out until now. This is the kind of subtle detail that shows the filmmakers genuinely, well, gave a shit.

Pfft, totally derivative

I’d say that 6ix9ine is a little too child-friendly as it is

Back in like 2009 I asked my younger cousin (about 10 years younger than me) what kind of music he liked. He replied that he liked all kinds of music and then showed me that he meant the top iTunes songs. He literally only listened to what everyone else listened to without any discernment. An overly charitable interpretation would say that he was just open to all sounds, but the top iTunes charts in 2009 were extremely homogeneous and his listening habits clearly had nothing to do with personal taste…
