wiffleball 4,725 Posted September 18, 2023 Has anybody seen this movie? Do you know anybody who has? Apparently it's like a financial juggernaut. But I don't know a single person who's ever seen the movie or wants to. https://www.avclub.com/barbie-higher-grossing-than-the-avengers-1850848585 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She's apparently bringing in dumpsters full of cash with everything she does. I think she's a prolific songwriter. But I don't get how she's the new beatles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s honestly not really for ten year old girls, it’s more targeted for adult women and maybe teenagers. I did see it with the wife and some friends, it was weird.

TBayXXXVII 2,289 Posted September 18, 2023 1 minute ago, peenie said: I didn't see it yet, but my daughter saw it and this is her opinion (not word for word but this is what I remember) because I was considering seeing it and wanted her take on it: It was pretty good and a couple of funny moments, but had way too many long speeches that weren't good. It was fun to see the fashions but it was basically a movie for white women to complain about "the patriarchy". My daughter has a different relationship with men feels that they've been most helpful in her life so her thinking isn't in line with white women. She doesn't understand why white women complaining, they have all the good men and have it pretty good in life (in comparison to most women of color). She said that life is more nuanced than the movie tries to portray and she actually liked the Ken character....I think....I think that's what she said, I don't remember. She said men are not a monolith and that the white women who have flocked to see this movie just want to identify with this blonde woman and wear pink dresses and complain and act like they're really doing something to change when in fact they're not going to do anything, that going to this movie is the extent of their actions. You're daughter sounds very intelligent with a great grasp of what's going on in the world. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
