Obviously, I enjoy wildlife; after all, I’ve spent most of my life photographing, painting, or writing about some form of wildlife.

I was prepared to find “Barbie” somewhat silly, perhaps even weird or surreal. But I did not expect it to be so politically ambitious, so morally bankrupt — or so utterly infuriating.
