A Little Barbie Review

No spoilers ...

Barbie was clever and nostalgic.  Margot Robbie was fantastic.  But the movie felt "just okay" to me.  I didn't feel the desire to clap or cry (as lots of movie goers reported).  It was fun to see but not incredible to watch.  The Top Gun movie WAS fantastic, clever and nostalgic -- I could watch that movie many times over.  I guess I thought it was going to be as awesome as that movie.

It's possible that some of my restlessness was the 35 minutes of previews.  Good lord -- too long.  My girlfriend felt the same way about the movie and long previews.  It's also possible my expectations were sky high after the reviews and that tainted the experience.  But it was a fun afternoon.  Worth seeing and the conversations around the movie are interesting too.  

Today is my first volunteer morning at the farm.  I hope I learn some things and see real working gardens for inspiration.  It's super summertime temps and it's going to be full sun -- so eek.  

Short and sweet this morning.  Early morning on the farm lol.  Later gators.
