The Barbie Movie
 

It will be directed by Greta Gerwig, and the role of Barbie will be played by Margot Robbie.


Yippie. I can barely contain my excitement. :roll:

I hardly played with Barbie dolls when I was a little girl. I was more of a Pokemon fanatic.

Cam Clarke is a Barbie collector, wonder if he'll find this appealing.

ooooh I didn't know that, I know he does the voice of a monster high character

the barbie movie looks really good

I'm curious on what this movie is going to be, They could've easily done a romantic comedy type of movie, about a girl name Barbie falling for a guy name Ken, But it seems this movie might be parodying itself, Like it knows what it is, and the movie will capitalize on the absurdity of the Barbie toy franchise.

Oh I can't wait for the blue-hair meltdown over this one. :lol:

But on that note, this strikes me as something that maybe they could've made with CGi Barbie Dolls into some kind of romantic-comedy for tweens.

No, I have a sneaky suspicion that this movie will be for the blue-hairs.

Even that would be great. Then they'd have to cop to liking Barbie and wishing that they were more like her. :lol:

Come on, Barbie, let’s go party :tparty:

Looks like the news of Amy Schumer playing the character was just a rumor.:lol:

Margot Robbie playing her is just too obvious. Imagine if Anya Taylor-Joy got casted. She has the face of a doll but she is beautiful.

I suspect I know, but I'm really curious the tone they'll be going for in this. Could be interesting. Like a more ironic version of the Flintstones movie.

You know... I'd be sad if that song isn't in the movie.

I doubt it. Mattel probably still has bitter feelings toward Aqua; they even tried to sue MCA Records over that song. The judge dismissed it and even said, “The parties are advised to chill.” :lol:

It isn't in the movie. They already said that months ago.

What kind of movie is it, the teaser doesn't really let onto that. If it was a campy comedy a la' Scary Movie type stuff, that might be enjoyable.

Her head definitely needs to pop off at least once though, just saying. lol And to most accurately capture girlhood there aught to be at least one Turtle or He-Man present for her to kiss. Heh. Or so I've heard others say they made theirs... I don't really remember having those particular toys interact with each other.

That's what I'm wondering about. Is it just back-to-back musical/dance numbers in some fantastical Barbie Land? Is it some kind of less maudlin Pleasantville but in Barbie Land? Is it an embrace of Barbie or is it using the IP as a cudgel to make an angry, Lizzo-like statement about body types?

Bingo.

Come on, people, it’s 2023, not 1998.

Eh, I doubt it's the "body types" angle, considering the first part of the video really focuses on little girls throwing away the strict confines of just "little mommy" play when it comes to dolls. (Though maybe a little unnecessarily aggressively, so maybe still another feminist angle.)

If it's a self aware comedy I might check it out someday. If not... meh.

New trailer.



They don't really show it in the trailer, but it implies a big part of the movie might be Barbie and Ken going to the real world. So this could end up being a fish out of water story.

This is another one that I figured would've come and gone already by now... :lol: Forgot all about it.

So wait…every girl is named Barbie and every guy is named Ken? I thought the black President would be called “Christie”

Also, in regards to the bed joke, do the Ken’s in that world even have…you know…those accessories?

I said it over and over - it's the Power Rangering of everything. Everyone has to be exactly the same for this simp-generation to feel that the trophies are equally distributed.

It's pathetic and another Socialist mess age permeating the country.

The ongoing message from Hollywood is that Capitalism is evil (Indiana Jones frames it as ongoing theft) and that any system with carbon copy people who are all the same is good.

Funny how at this point it is basically is Fascism, just with sexual deviants, freaks and pink hearts everywhere.

I mean.... does Barbie herself?

I'm guessing that no, they don't. Unless that changes when they enter the real world and then ensues the comedy.

I thought the trailer was good, I'm looking forward to the Barbie movie

Somehow I doubt a Barbie with Down’s Syndrome will be included in the movie.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/...ched-by-mattel

If Matt Walsh of all people praises this form of inclusion, it’s unacceptable :lol:

Performative wokeness is funny.
I am trying to imagine what it supposed to accomplish. Like in which scenario parents would want to buy Down!Barbie to their kids.

Or is it like "give kids with Down syndrome toys with Down syndrome", which is ****ing hilarious and offensive on a borderline Nazi levels? :lol:

It's lowkey saying 'you don't deserve regular toys, only down toys like yourself'. Like do they not understand if they could help it, down-syndrome people wouldn't want to be down-syndrome people?

Shia LaBeouf acts all buddy-buddy with Zack Gottsagen just because they starred in one movie together, yet LaBeouf most likely supports policies that allow unborn children to be aborted simply because they are determined to have Down Syndrome. That’s why I rolled my eyes when he paraded Zack around at the 2020 Oscars; it was so insincere. And I feel bad for Zack because he will one day realize that their “friendship” was just all for show.

I’ll bet when the wokies realized that conservatives actually liked the idea of Down Syndrome Barbies and even called it pro-life, they all went, “Oh, s***! That really backfired!” :lol:

No way are they gonna include Down Syndrome Barbie in the movie now. If they do, then color me surprised

In this light its incredibly hilarious that some trans-activist complain that "having ways to cure sex dysphoria" in people before they are even born, is bad, because, it robs world of "diversity". :D

I'm OK with that.

My point was that LeBeouf is just like any other celebrity: an out-of-touch phony who pretends to care about those “lesser” than him when he’s in front of the cameras, but behind the stage he’s just as despicable or even more despicable than the “bigots” he berates.

Egos and narcissisms actually explains all of what is going on. We used to look up to our heroes to aspire to be better and grow. But now there is a generation of emotionally-lost people who can't handle that. They have to be told that they are already perfect or they literally bug up. It's mental illness.

But it's nuanced and those same people can't compute that. For example, there is nothing wrong with making a "down's syndrome Barbie" and offering it to Barbie collectors. But there is something wrong with a generation that can't handle seeing things as an "improved state to aspire to" because they thought they were perfect flowers to begin with.

Hence, the "Power Rangering" of everything. A generation of drones, ironically being inducted as drones via "diversity".

Taking a little bit more shape.



I've read it's really "man-angry" but we'll see.

Warning: Language



I should’ve known… :roll:

lol... they're calling it "a feminist triumph" then higher-ups are trying to walk it back?

Which means writer was "man hungry".

A business tycoon with puffy blond hair in a dark suit and red tie. Subtle.

If there's a scene where Barbie and Ken undress and we find out their bodies are completely smooth with no genitals, I'll watch this. Otherwise... Meh.

Quit messing around with minor products and give me a live action Mighty Max movie already, you Hollywood plebs!

Ngl, as silly and stupid as this movie looks, I mainly wanna see it because John Cenas in it
