Amy Schumer Is BARBIE
 

The ever-charming, totally classy "comedian" is apparently in talks to play an all-new, all-different Barbie in the surefire-hit movie.

:dead:

"Comedienne"*

WTF!? Is hollywood really THAT out of ideas?

Amy Schumer has a nice rack

Nope, just Sony.

I like Amy Schumer she is hot

Classy :P

Anyways, who would be the market for a movie like this anyways? Let me rephrase that; who would WANT to watch a movie like this? Or better yet, WHO was the guy who came up with this (and what was he on)?

That's what I'm wondering too. There's no obvious demographic I can see this appealing to. Hell, I'll bet it's going to be rated PG-13.

Oh Sony. Never cease attempting to be relevant.

Okay. not what I'd expect, but okay, it's intriguing. Personally I'd love a proper animated movie (there's a million DTV movies) with same flair as The LEGO movie, maybe close to Barbie's Dreamhouse series.

Live-Action didn't work so well for Bratz, how well will it work for the OG beauty doll?

Th-there's a live-action Bratz? :teek:

And it apparently came out 9 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bratz_(2007_film)

O yes.

It's pretty bad, not just due to the property it's based off since it's just a generic tween movie for girls with the name slapped on... Which I guess fits the Bratz?

I used to play my sisters copy of a Barbie Pet Rescue on PC when I was 9.

Bratz: The Movie. Came out in 2007. It was a musical... yeah.. :ohwell:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bratz_(2007_film)

o.O If that was done to be purposely corny and weird in a legitimately entertaining way, and it wasn't specifically Barbie, that could be.... interesting?

Doesn't work as Barbie though, being imperfect and different is out of character. Now if it focused on an unknown imperfect 'doll' and it indirectly poked fun at superficial dolls like Barbie who are trying way too hard to be what they are...

Wrong angle as is though. If Barbie has to learn a lesson then she should learn to chill out on trying so hard to be a certain way.

Iiiiinteresting.

I mean, just putting Schumer in a "family friendly" movie is curious enough.
I know it'd never happen, but I'd love to see a movie that approaches Barbie the way Bob's Burgers approached My Little Pony.
Barbie was directly inspired by merchandising for a German comic strip, and it's original demographic was adult men.

She's too fat to be Barbie.

I guess they're trying to prove that there's beauty in non-thin women too.

Whatever. They did cast Rosie O'Donnell as Betty in the Flintstones movie from 1994.

Which is stupid unless it's a parody film. Barbie might be criticized but it is what it is and pretending it isn't won't do any favors to society. Rosie O'Donnel isn't a good example, that was just bad casting while here they're going for a PR move.

Oh, Sony. :trolleye:

JUST


10characters

But, no, she doesn't. She's a gross chubby, not a hot chubby. There are some truly gorgeous overweight females out there. In abundance. Not with Amy. I greatly dislike her. Especially for her crack at Ryan Dunn at the comedy central roast. I hope her career dies. :tsad:

I'm calling it now.

Directed by Fig Newton.


Seriously, how does amy pascal still keep getting work at sony? did she blackmail her way to the top?

and why is amy schumer famous? first i ever heard of her was a star wars pic.

I hate her too, but she's not THAT chubby. Like aside from her face she's alright.

I'm curious as to who makes your list.

Schumer reminds me of Miss Piggy. A "zero charisma" edition.

I agree, Schumer is like Miss Piggy but without the charisma. This is really bad casting even if it is a parody.

Wow, Sony really is desperate, aren't they... I guess there's worse ideas (emoji movie) but I'm really wondering how this is going to work.

They couldn't have gone with somebody like Abby Elliot? She would've been a much better choice, plus she deserves a better role to make up for that pi$$ poor excuse of a cameo she had in Michael Bay's Ninja Turtle reboot.

Chubby actresses in hollywood who either lost weight or still look smoking hot (regardless of race or sexual preference):

Sara Rue, America Ferrera, Kelly Osbourne (without the stupid purple hair and shaved sides), Kat Dennings, Adele, Jennifer Coolidge, Kirsty Allie, Ricki Lake (SOOO HOT), Christina Schmidt, Crystal Renn, Queen Latifah, Liv Tyler (she's size 14), Christina Hendricks, Christina Aguilera, Kate Dillon

Jessica Simpson even was sooooo hot at 9 months pregnant.


Worldwide? Here's some of my favorites: Tara Lynn, Justine Legault, Barbara Brickner, Ashley Graham

If your chubby or curvy, own it. Simply put.

Because it hasn't been said in a while:

No one cares about your boners.

That said, no living person is capable of having Barbie's proportions without undergoing surgery. Which isn't all that surprising, given her male sex toy origin.

Not bad.

Slighty off-topic but I always thought that Kirstie Alley's replacement for Lt. Saavik in the Star Trek movies was a better actress for the part. Alley always seemed like she was chewing scenery in Wrath of Khan.

After looking at this thread, I almost wish Disney would make a Toy Story spinoff starring their version of Barbie.

I've heard there are already Barbie CGI movies, and that they're actually pretty good. So if you're really jonesing for that kind of entertainment, it already exists.

first of all, LOL at the "no one cares about your boners"

secondly, uh what? "male sex toy origin" :teek:

Eeeeh, I'd do some googling first to see which Barbie movie is worth watching, there's a dime a dozen of them and a lot of them are pretty bad or just boring.

Barbie's Dreamhouse is a series on Netflix which is pretty funny, very self-aware without being condescending to the brand.

The purpose of that product was wholly different from that of Barbie dolls.
