Barbie (2023)

[chaparral]

but I would still feel embarrassed going in there by myself as a lone middle-aged male, when everyone else around you are females

Going to see this movie sounds great i need to buy a ticket

I thought people didn't like going to the cinema anymore... Guess we can scrap that reason from all the recent flops eh

Saw this reluctantly with my partner
Quickly realised I was probably going to get more out of the film than her.

People want originality. Going to the cinema isnt cheap anymore, never was really, so who wants to pay good money to see the latest Marvel junk or a remake of a story that everyone knows 3 times over. I think big movies "blockbusters" like Transformers and the usual over the top Marvel films are tiring on people.

Lets put remakes / retelling of stories in the bin and get some original work + Moana 2 out there.

Just for context - In just 1/2 the time, this film's box office only in US is already more that MI:7's worldwide box office - Thats just crazy

This will be the biggest movie of the year or second

Barbie and the Kens basically reject feminist utopia, not sure if the messaging is intentional.... I'm guessing it's not.

Have you actually seen it?

Have you actually seen it?

Yes, got dragged to watch it on the opening weekend.. Quite the experience considering the amount of pink on display. Good movie with very mixed / confused messaging.

Last movie i watched at the cinema was endgame, im too cheap to go unless it's really needed. I'm interested to see this when it's on streaming just because of all the hype and controversy surrounding it.

My partner are this as she had some time off.. From what she said about it, don't think I'm that interested. Feel like it's been hyped up and some of the popularity it's the hype.

She seemed to like it though

More countries banning Barbie, this time on religious grounds due to the LGBT content, in particular with transgender politics apparently. The article did use the dated term though - transsexual. 2 indoctrinating topics at odds with each other.

The blockbuster falls foul of authorities over its portrayal of social values.

Its a crazy world.

Digital release date September 5

 

[VincentHanna]

That's surprising.

Considering how much it's still making in cinemas you might think they would leave it to make as much as they can.

It's likely over $1.2 billion now (once they add Tuesdays and Wednesdays takings)

Only MI is a long wait
