I know what you mean. Barbie was its own cultural event LOL.

Funny thing is, I was a hard time getting tickets because I didn't want to buy them online and they kept getting sold out. So when I found out that one of the theaters nearby still had seats, I rushed over an hour before showing time. I was speed-walking in and out of metro stations like I desperately had somewhere to be. I could imagine the people I zipped around thinking: Oh, she's got an emergency somewhere.

But, no, it was just Barbie lol.
