Barbie (Greta Gerwig, July 21, 2023) Movie • Page 16

Now can Hollywood behave itself or are we about to get the BCU

 

This will certainly get a sequel right?

 

I can't stop thinking about this movie and, coincidence perhaps, but I just got hold of a Barbie themed restaurant one hour away from where I live.

Guess I will make this part of my personality and annoy everyone from now on

 

As someone who transitioned in their late twenties, I never played with Barbies, and yet somehow this film still felt extremely nostalgic, not to mention empowering and, I wanna say... accepting? of womanhood, in all its forms. In my weaker moments I often mourn the little girl I never was, but after watching this movie I just felt, like, idk, this sense that I'm gonna be okay. And it's okay that my relationship with gender is different from the norm. And it's okay that I'm moving through life and finding myself at a different pace.

 

Ideally, no. Only because I think it wrapped up nicely. But with the money it’s making, I’d be surprised if there isn’t one.

 

They are making a shitload of Mattel films, hopefully this won’t get a direct sequel though

 

Someone may make a Ken movie but Greta is doing Narnia so it's unlikely that she'd do a Barbie 2 even if she wanted to , which she probably doesn't

 

I hope not.

 

There’s no scenario where this doesn’t get a sequel lol

 

After watching the movie all those Gosling interviews make perfect sense. This really was the role he was born to play.

 

This was exquisite and hilarious in so many unexpected ways.

 

Still felt a little too routine for me, but yeah there aren’t too many ways to go with something like this.

 

Hurts to see M:I not doing well. No good place to put that in summer, but right before two of the biggest movies of the year was absolutely devastating.

 

I only just realized this was shy of 2 hours. I absolutely thought it was a 90 minute movie going into it and it felt that pace too.

 

It’s doing fine given the situation they lost every single large format theatre they had. It will still end up at $500 million plus world wide. It’s at $370 million world wide currently

 

so many people from sex education were in this lol.

 

I absolutely loved this movie.

 

Everybody at my theater dressed up (even me) and the crowd reaction to different moments was great. At the mother’s speech, there was applause and lots of “FACTS!”

 

What are the thoughts on the opening scene with the baby dolls? I thought it was awful and by far the biggest blemish on the film. That whole scene should have been left on the cutting room floor.

 

Yes, haha

 

No it rocked idk wtf you’re talking about (as usual)
