Well. It was triggered by the BARBIE movie.
Note that I am very much onboard with Ken Hite’s argument that PLEASANTVILLE is a Cthulhu Mythos story; so when I say that BARBIE has strong horrific elements to it, I’m not actually trying to slam the flick. The tropes actually work, from Things Are Not Normal Now to Warped Reflections of Reality to The World is Saved, But Not For Me. It’s just that everything’s in… pink. I’m genuinely interested in seeing what Greta Gerwig could do more overtly along those lines.

Barbie doesn’t count?
From “King in Yellow” to “Queen in Pink” ?
I’m pretty sure you’re alone on that one.
I think she could do a horror film.
But it would resonate only with single women who own too many cats and drink yellow wine—a demographic not interested in horror flicks.
This is a woman who just went all-in on an extended anvillitious diatribe, and a significant number of viewers have “Strawman Has a Point” as their main takeaway.
But since I want Hollywood to become as financially bankrupt as it long has been in other respects, I approve this suggestion.
