Are all the males gay? That pic sure implies it. What is with the tight short shorts ball huggers?
Another movie I look forward to not seeing.
Barbies and Kens alike are under the impression that their matriarchal utopia is a mirror of the real world; surely, decades of playing with highly accomplished dolls must have overcome whatever biases existed in darker pre-Mattel times. But when when Barbie and Ken make their way to Los Angeles in an attempt to track down the source of a disturbance in Barbieland’s perpetual bliss, they find themselves in a place that’s far less progressive, and far less pink, than their own. Barbie gets catcalled on the street and discovers that the company marketing her girl-power brand is run by an all-male board. But Ken discovers something different: a world where men hold power, where they are noticed and admired—a place where men matter.
Ken is the closest thing Barbie has to a villain, unless you count patriarchy itself. Upon returning to Barbieland, he and the other Kens (others Ken?) take control in a bloodless coup, and by the time Barbie makes her way back, she’s been literally displaced. Her dream home is now Ken’s Mojo Dojo Casa House, and the Barbies who once ruled the world wear frilly maid outfits and serve cocktails.
I expect there will be a lot of dates where the gal wants to see the move and the guy just wants to see Margot. Not that I would, as I’m a geezer, but Margot Robbie is very much to my taste and a pretty good comedienne, if I were 40 or 50 years younger and a female of my interest wanted to see it, I wouldn’t object too strenuously.
But then I could not possibly care at all about the political, social, moral, or any other agenda of any entertainment or entertainer, be it an actor or a musician; life’s too short to give a damn.
“But while Millennials are the children of the Boomer hippies, Gen Z was raised by Gen X,..”
I think he has this mixed up.
Wasn’t X after the boomers, then the Mils and now Z?
I’m really hoping that The Wife and I don’t have to take our great-nieces to this movie.
All the “guys” are showing their “packages”, so Im guessing no trannies?
“Math class is tough!”
A billion dollars worldwide?
Anyone else wondering about box office fraud...
