Line 73:
* [[Michael Bay]] is one of the most ''hated'' people on the internet, even on this very wiki people had to prevent pages for his movies from being excessively vandalized and slandered. Hasn't hurt his popularity.
* Mocked and exploited simultaneously by director [[Kevin Smith]] when he surreptitiously joined a group of Catholics protesting his film ''[[Dogma]]'' outside a New Jersey theatre -- and kept up the [[Kayfabe]] when he was caught by a news crew doing so.
* ''[[Barbie (film)|Barbie]]''; critisism of this movie by conservatives who claimed it was pro-gay, pro-trans, socialist propaganda, and misandristic (months before its release, no less) caused it to be a smash hit, becoming one of the highest grossing weekend premieres that was not a sequel, a reboot, or a superhero movie in modern times, and it shattered all records. Director Greta Gerwig can now put on her resume that she is behind the largest opening weekend ever for a female director. The movie grossed $155 million in the US alone and would passed $377 million mark globally in less than a month. ''Barbie'' almost doubled ''[[Oppenheimer]]'', which debuted on the same weekend (prompting a plethoria of internet memes). Conservative pundit Ben Shapiro (who had previously condemned the film, going so far to burn a collection of Barbie toys, though many claim he was [[Only In It For The Money]] in doing so) was "caught" attending a screeing of the film - his excuse was that his producers "made him" do so. It is truly ironic, that their own macho posturing caused a group of conservative power-players to be, in effect, humiliated by a living doll in a pink dress.
