Jesus. That is really super. How'd a nitwit like you get so tasteful?

[Thinking] I can't believe that scottamus77 prefers Gosling over Bale.

Hey Ryan!

YOU CAN (NOT) EVEN 5.55

Ah yes, the Robert Stack in Airplane move.

it's a classic gag and i'm still ready for it

Deserved his own spinoff. Hard carried Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

In every dream home, a heartache

She’s essentially Cynthia from Rugrats lol

Or how our big brothers retaliated against us... by cutting off my only barbies hair. And she was a mermaid!

they seriously nailed the look on her. I'm a guy but I grew up seeing Barbies just like that all my life from cousins and female friends and kids of family friends etc. And there's always, always a bunch of them that are just naked and some with missing limbs.

Also even as a kid and to this day, I think Barbies need at LEAST knee and elbow articulation...but I guess they don't do it because it would require more small parts? But ugh...I remember thinking I'd definitely get some Barbies myself if they could bend like action figures because I needed female characters for my Action figure stories! and the only ones I had was April O'Neal, that one girl from VR Troopers, and what ever female power rangers I could find. But more than anything, I loved the idea of dressing them up. I had to pretend my green batman was a character I made up and that the Pink Ranger was his sister who had super speed. I wished I could have them wear regular clothes and then suit up in like ninja out fits when i was time to fight...

maybe I should get into toy making I just know there has to be kids out there who want that like I did. Boys, girls, and whoever else. I'm pretty sure they had giant GI joes you could dress up at some point. Like...imagine having a set of 1:10 scale action figures that all come with clothing and armor you can swap out. The idea being you make your characters. And then just have like hundreds of faces and hairs you can also get in packs. But then have deal for selling figures of copyright characters so you can have your favorite characters be part of it. like the xmen, power rangers, resident evil, etc

Also when Barbie asks ”to do what?” Ken goes ”I actually have no idea” which is also accurate since a kid wouldn’t actually know what goes down when you stay the night, just that you’re supposed to do it when you’re a couple

So basically The LEGO Movie?

I think it's more a loving homage than direct reference. Some kids played a little rough with their Barbies, so they'll identify their experience.

As for me, my toys were physically fine, but if they were capable of emotional pain...

The shower with no water

I have that exact same Birkenstock. It's amazing.

The clicky pen bit at the end got me

Someone needs to do one of those circle charts with overlapping Barbie and Oppenheimer themes.

It's unhinged enough to be entertaining.

It's oddly chaotic and has me intrigued lol so samesies

It had me with Will Ferrell being a unsympathetic villain type.

This movie is for you.

Literally me

Halloween is going to have a lot of blonde guys this year.

He really does seem like the best fit for this role. I love it!

God that movie is so underrated (least hot take ever ik)

Ken... the Eminem of this generation.

Blade Runner 2049 is finally what turned me around on him. He was so fucking good in that film.

I honestly think it's not because she's a woman but because she's not wearing a white coat. Barbie is what she is because of her outfits, so it would make sense he would associate outfits with professions.

Yeah lol I thought ken was always the supportive sweet himbo so seeing him say sexist stuff was kinda jarring

Though was the other commenter said, probably a culture shock from the real world

Yeah I didn’t really get him doing that. I’ve never really pictured the guy with a girlfriend with a million different jobs would be the one to say ‘my qualifications are ‘I am a man’’ and not really taking the doctor telling him ‘no you can’t’ seriously (possibly because she’s not a man?)

I think that’s the only episode you can watch other than the pilot to get into it. Maybe Ab Aeterno and Across The Sea. They’re pretty self contained. It used to be my favourite but I love Tricia Tanaka is Dead, its so nice seeing Hurley Charlie Jin and Sawyer just have good time.

I already told my boyfriend we’re gonna see both but Barbie is first

Yes, please! Barbie and then Barbie again right after!

One cinema for the recliners. Then walk across town for the Imax

Who knew Will Farrel would be typecast as an over the top evil business man?

He knows exactly who he was imitating.

might be - the CC lists her voice a Ruth

Ruth died in 2002, but could be a stand in

It's a new song by Charli XCX that samples it, she's teased it recently.

So they're getting around the dispute by "technically not using it"

Whoever at Mattel convinced their bosses to give the project to Greta Gerwig instead of Amy Schumer not only saved the company millions of dollars and tons of embarrassment but will end up making the company 100s of millions (of not billions in the long term) as an indirect (and some direct) result of this movie.

Yeah, the corporation agreeing to be the antagonist of their own movie is pretty creative.

Also, is Will Ferrell collecting toy movies to be the bad guy in?

I think most people would agree a young Freddie Prince Jr as Fred in Scooby Doo is the closest we ever got to a real life Ken.

Young people. They were saying Ryan and Margot were to old to play Barbie and Ken, that Margot looked 40 and some even suggested Dove Cameron as Barbie. The audacity and the horror!

You say that like he won't have a copy of his own day one for his home theater.

I can't believe they didn't have her use her iconic catchphrase "It's Barbin Time!"

Capital: "Make art that I can profit off of."

Artist: "Can I make art that criticizes capital?"

Capital: "That depends, will it make me a profit?"

Artist: "Most likely."

Capital: "Then go right ahead!"

My call is that it’s unironically a sequel to Lego Movie. The out-of-context shot of Will Ferrell in a business suit, in a complete diversion from the bright colors of Barbie’s world, spells it out for me.

I get the feeling the “weird things” that start happening in Barbie’s world are gonna be when her little girl hits that age… that time when kids suddenly think playing with toys is lame.

Greta Gerwig just mentioned being inspired by the parenting book Reviving Ophelia in a recent interview. And those are the exact themes the book deals with so I think your interpretation is right on.
