Barbie (2023)

I’m intrigued as to what this will actually be about, or who it will be aimed at. That first trailer is a work of genius though.

I'm sure a lot of Australians will be really disappointed by the title of the movie and the lack of shrimp.

Seems this could be a modern re-imagining of Wizard of Oz with Barbie (Dorothy) having to fight the patriarchy (wicked witch) :cry:

Popped up in my YouTube feed. How can such a travesty of a trailer be so utterly fantastic.

I have no interest in the film but this is just superb.

im sorry, but what the ****

I am kinda not interested in that film but I guess I will watch it because of cast

This is going to be more toilet than an Armitage Shanks warehouse.

I still think it looks great. No real reason to think otherwise yet given quality of cast and crew involved.

I was watching it thinking "This feels a bit like the plot of Elf"

And that was before will Ferrell appeared!

Obviously not my cup of tea, but it's about time Mattel caught up to the other toy companies out there. Still, any excuse to post an oldie but a goodie

I mean seriously WTF is that all about? You lot have odd thoughts.

Stu999 · 26 May 2023 at 19:46

I don’t think I could see this in the cinema.

Might watch it at home though.

Its very simple really -

"This is Barbie, a toy traditionally played with by girls, is claimed by some to set an unrealistic body standard which may harm girls self-esteem, and this is considered to be BAD".

"This is He-Man, a toy traditionally played with by boys, and yet no-one complains about this unrealistic body standard which may harm boys self-esteem".

Treating the same thing (unrealistic body standards) differently just because one is "for girls" whilst the other is "for boys" is called hypocrisy and most people understand that this is BAD, which is why equality and inclusion (we should all be treated the same) are so important when fighting against hypocrisy.

EDIT: Personal attack.

Funny memes hohoho.

Never mind that He-man is literally called the most powerful man in the universe, I'm sure all boys were trying to live up to that :rolleyes:

Surprised he-man hasn’t been torn apart by trans or woman since the title contains man.

Margot Robbie is in it. That's all I care about

Do you not think she is morphing into Jamie Pressly the older she gets? Not that I mind that of course

2nd trailer gives us a story, which looks brilliant.
Something I'm looking forward to lol.

There was that image meme that said "They-Them and the Masters of the Universe", but even that is slightly wrong. It would probably have to be "They-Them and the Mixters of the Universe".

That’s hilarious. Imaging that front cover for real.
