Amy Schumer Barbie Movie Salt - They didn't learn their lesson after Ghostbusters.

[Tootsie Bear]

Unsurprisingly, the guy whining about FUCKING WHITE MALES is a white male himself.

How ironic! On a serious note I wonder why it's douches like this who are white, attacking other white people for a number of different things. Wouldn't it better for him to set an example instead of acting like he wants to randomly attack and kill other white people.

Mansplaining!

But yeah I doubt this will do well at the B.O., since unlike Ghostbusters I don't think enough men care enough to raise a big enough hullabaloo over it.

It's Amy Schumer, so there should be more than enough B.O. to go around.

Y'know, for all the times people say Barbie dolls cause body image issues in girls...they've never said anything about if boys that tortured or destroyed their sister's Barbies grew up to be abusers. Or what would happen to tomboys who hated Barbie.

I mean, let's be honest, Amy Schumer voicing Barbie in a Hollywood movie isn't "feminist", it's what most celebrities work in kid's movies have always done: getting a nice paycheck for what they think is easy work.

Also, friendly reminder that Barbie was a ripoff of a German sex doll named Lilli.

I don't give a shit about Barbie, but I can't help but find this decision monumentally stupid. Even disregarding Barbie's "unobtainable" body or whatever the fuck the pigs go on about, Schumer looks nothing like the part. She's blonde and female. The similarities end there. It'd be like if they cast Kevin James in a live-action He-Man movie solely because "he's a guy, and He-Man is a guy." It'd be fucking stupid.

If they wanna go with the storyline that she's kicked out of "Barbieland" because of some imperfection or other (Amy Schumer? Imperfect? Perish the thought!), fine. It's their money. Even then, though, there's like a billion other actresses that'd be a better fit for the role than Schumer. Again, I don't give a shit about Barbie so this doesn't ruin my childhood in any way, I just can't wrap my head around the idea that someone thought casting HER was a good idea.

This isn't an animated movie.

If I could rate my own post as horrifying, I would.

Disney did the same thing 16 years ago. And they did it with a black woman.

Up yours Sony, you wannabee progressives.

I actually liked this movie as a kid

 

[Spellskite]

I know Australians like to say throw another shrimp on the barbie, but I think Amy has had enough.

 

[Dane]

why do people STILL not understand that everyone on the internet is a shithead? whenever twitter is mean to them after they announce a new super progressive movie they react as if they had NO IDEA twitter was capable of being mean.

 

[Spudnik]

Does Amy Schemer even attract little girls tho

...that came out way too wrong.

I think you're looking for Lena Dunham.

They should go "whole hog" and cast Dunham as Skipper, they'd double internet screaming and salt cure a couple of city hams.

 

[RichardDripp]

Could all the problems be settled with CGI?

Oh, and of course the gender wars has to be involved with this. It's just a movie. Relax.

 

[millais]

Maybe they will spend Sony's entire CGI budget to digitally slim and shrink Schumer's figure.

So in this thread I talked about how Amy Schumer is gonna be the lead of the upcoming Barbie movie.

Well it appears that *Everyone* is doing the exact same thing as they did with Ghostbusters

THIS IS 100% the same as Ghostbusters.


THIS SHIT IS GONNA TURN NUCLEAR

I WARNED YOU ABOUT THE SONY PICTURES BRO

THIS KEEPS HAPPENING

They can save money by not casting Schumer.

My man you know as well as I do he's just working a different angle on the quest for pussy.

 

[millais]

Yeah, it would probably be prohibitively expensive to digitally correct every frame. Even if she is not visible in the shot, Schumer's mere presence on set would be enough to cause localised gravitational lensing and optically distort whatever was being filmed, so that's a lot of footage that would need to be fixed.

 

[Darwin Watterson]

They can save money by not casting Schumer.

Or by just not making the movie.

 

[ICametoLurk]

So some alternative right-wing media editors on Twitter are talking about the Barbie news, it looks like this is gonna gain some more traction.

They should just shrink the entire budget and not make this piece of shit.

 

[Jaimas]

I hope this happens. Because there's going to be mass-layoffs at Sony Pictures if this is the second example of this idiocy in a year.

I think they should have gotten Leslie Jones instead.
