Barney Stinson, of course, is a character on How I Met Your Mother, portrayed by Doogie Howser. Or possibly Dr. Horrible. It’s hard to keep them straight. Anyways, Barney, in addition to his other – let’s call them special – psychological attributes, has a curious moral inversion when watching movies. He thinks Ralph Macchio played the villain in “The Karate Kid,” for instance, and mourns for the death of the killer robot in the original “Terminator.”
Which brings us to the point of this thread: reviewing movies as if you were Barney. I’ll name a few to get things going, but don’t feel constrained by my choices.
The Dark Knight.
Star Trek II.
Superman II.
Lord of the Rings (any of the Jackson entries).
The Smurfs.
Anybody wanna take a swing?

Theodore Vivian Mosby! Do you pay attention to ANYTHING I try to teach you?
If you’re going to be me, be me. That means more than rooting for characters misunderstood by sheeple like Lily to be “bad guys.” It means commenting on fashion. It means praising hot chicks, particularly ones like Lois Lane who are too stupid to see through a pair through a glasses. It means explaining how the Kryptonians were following the Bro Code, and yes, that includes Ursa, for as our beloved Robin has shown us, girls can be bros too. And more than anything it means giving high fives.
I believe you channeled the man himself. You are ledgen-wait for it and I hope you aren’t lactose intolerant-dary!
(Theodore Vivian Mosby—that was awesome.)
