No one said highest grossing. They said IT MADE A BILLION DOLLARS, WHICH IT DID
I know what fucking inflation adjustment is. Of course I know that inflation adjustment is a relevant metric that gets brought up when discussing "did this movie make the most money ever"
But the report is not "Barbie is the highest grossing film in history." It's "Barbie made a billion dollars" which is just...a fact
I think the commenter was referring to this paragraph.
But if you are only talking about the female director thing, then yeah I agree, that's nice.
I still don't understand any of your other comments though. But let's leave it at that.
Christ it's not that hard to understand. Everytime a woman achieves something in public, a whole bunch of people have to figure out SOME way to say it's not that impressive.
Here, let me help: "No way! That's cool"
AND LEAVE IT AT THAT. For fuck's sake.
I was not referring to that. I was thinking about your weird ramblings about inflation.
I'm not the one who brought up inflation! Is this conversation hard to follow? I wasn't even talking to you. I was talking to the person who brought it up.
I'm so confused on what you were trying to accomplish with all this. Inflation isn't relevant to the conversation. That was my point
😂
Lol
Found the feminist
"made a billion" as in profited that much?
Or,
"Made a billion" as in that much revenue?
You're not this stupid
