Barbie - A More Successful Movie than You'd Think

I will only watch this movie because Ryan Gosling is in it. That is all.

Never thought I'd look at Ken from Barbie & think "he's literally me". No seriously, his disgusted "ugh" at Simu Liu is literally me every time I look at Simu Liu.

Even other people believe it now.

I wish Ryan Gosling plays a Hot Wheels once.

Serously Hollywood is really pushing Simu Liu has a someone. But he isn't. He's just some guy who got big off of MCU and noting else. Like it's the only reason he has this Barbie role too.

I have no idea what a Barbie movie should even be about. It wasn't like He-Man or Transformers where there were cartoons and comics and movies to give a backstory (there was a Christmas Barbie cartoon from years back but that is it). At least Barbie and Ken are both white. I guess the pedos in Hollywood knew blacking Barbie would be a bridge too far.

Just seems to be a sillier, toy-focused version of Enchanted (or whatever that movie was where the fairy tale princess came to the real world). I'll probably watch it just to see if there's a schlondpoofah/schnoggenwrench reference in it - but I'm certainly not going to pay to do that.

Based on a leak from some months back, the plot is...well, I guess you could call it 'LEGO Movie meets Stepford Wives', where Barbies are artificially created women who are designed to be successful world leaders or otherwise influential people (note how in all the posters, every single other Barbie besides Margot is somebody in a very important sounding occupation) that in turn will carry out actions that benefit what I guess is still Mattel (Will Ferrell once again looking like he's playing the manchild CEO main villain), and all the Kens are actually sleeper handlers for each Barbie and, should their partner Barbie start to become too self-aware of the situation, that Ken will kill the Barbie and then himself in a murder-suicide.

The second trailer definitely supports some of this with the one Barbie who seems to 'power down' when she does the Spits, and moreover how Margot's Ken has two instances where he's putting himself alongside her without any real reason to be there.

Let's put it.....he's kind of a fuckboi. He was known for sleezing his way around Toronto. Hes (believe me I wouldn't use this word cause it sounds retarded) an MRAsian and a redditor who has all the fags torn asunder because he compared pedophile to homosex but claimed it was research for a role. He also treats Asian women like garbage.
Also he's ugly. He has all the grace of a reverse dump truck with flat tires. Bought in to his own hype. (You should see the skewering he's getting on Twitter for his barbie movie poster)

I won't post it here to spare you but he recently released music and um..........it's......something that was created.

I genuinely hope this gives birth to some kind of semi-ironic pink-pilled barbie trend. We're practically there as is: Chicks chasing 'goth gf' vibes only to be just that; pink-pilled barbie bimbos but in black instead of pink. Maybe we can return to some kind of appreciation of femininity. Ironically, most alt girls I know have returned to being basic sparkle-loving women around their late 20s, so I guess it's only sex work and onlyfans memes that cause all these weird unnatural diversions in female looks cause it pays the bills.

What the fuck is this soundtrack
1685027894233.png
Seriously, what the actual fuck is this soundtrack
Nicki Minaj? Charli XCX? Lizzo?
I'm not surprised, but I am more than a little turned off. Not even gonna bother trying to fit the brand, I guess? Just shove a bunch of thot shit in there and call it empowerment. No Aqua is equally-disappointing, but supposedly there's a cover and the creator apparently didn't like the song so I don't care much either way.
Bizarre choices considering literally everything about Barbie pretty much being the opposite of most of these singers' images, but it's not like the movie's going to bother actually being a Barbie movie anyways.

EDIT: image should be unbroken now

At least Tame Impala is in it. And Ryan Gosling does have a singing role in the movie, it seems.

I love how the best singer in the list is Ryan Gosling, & this is coming from a guy who occasionally simps for Dua Lipa.

Goslingbros, we just can't stop winning.
