Barbie (Greta Gerwig, July 21, 2023) Movie • Page 18

what

 

The dirt around the kids and the way she throws the doll in the air is directly from 2001. It isn't a thing you can debate.

Saying the song has been used in other things is just saying they were referencing 2001 as well. It is one of the most iconic movies ever made.

 

They mean the 2001 theme song. I dunno if they're right or not, but I can totally see Burger King or Arby's promoting a new sandwich with it.

 

Yeah man, I know what they mean

This entire series of posts is insane

 

Matchbox 20 talks Ryan Gosling's 'Push' cover as Ken in 'Barbie' movie

 

Maybe they haven’t actually seen 2001? And that’s okay, if that’s it. I’d seen it parodied hundreds of times over the year and only finally saw the actual movie last year. If this is it, check it out when you can. It’s pretty good haha

 

In that case, let’s rewind it to the beginning and I’ll talk over the whole thing.

 

the movie is about how dudes rock actually. ken is the protagonist

 

it’s actually just about horses

 

no lol

 

let’s get you to bed grandpa

 

Absolutely flabbergasted at arguing a 2001 homage is….not directly lifting from the movie

I watched 2001 two weeks ago, it’s literally exactly same shots

and having Barbie as the monolith was hilarious and screwy and kicked off exactly what kinda movie this was going to be

 

I love that Rob Thomas did this and iZombie

 

Gosling will get like an MTV movie award (do they still do those?) for this, not an Oscar

 

What if this movie gets pushed to 2024, Pat?

 

apple will do the right thing for me personally

 

I will choose to trust your confidence in this matter.

 

Scorsese will strangle a film executive

 

America Ferrera's speech and the Depression Barbie really hit home with all the women in my theater huge applause and hooting and hollering for both.

 

I’d pay to see that as its own fall release.

 

This absolutely ruled. The matchbox twenty bit killed me. Robbie was good but Gosling was perfect. Way deeper than I thought it was going to be.

 

Also lol at arguing that isn’t a direct parody of 2001. It’s almost shot for shot.

 

I can't get over how much I loved this. Subversive and poignant in all the best ways. The Matchbox Twenty gag had me needing to quickly regain my composure being in a crowded theater. I lost it.

 

Oh yeah this was great. Michael Cera MVP. Margot was great. Everyone was great. I am so happy

 

I'm mostly over Will Ferrell but thought he was used well here, just enough to not become annoying.
