Ken and his 'buddies'

This looks beyond terrible.

Is that Gosling or Peter Stormare?

I’m so confused by what’s going on. It looks ridiculous but the filmmakers and actors are all top notch. I have to believe it has to be pretty good.

This is where I am trying to be.

fascinating to me that anyone can look at the career choices and accomplishments of noah baumbach, greta gerwig, margot robbie, and ryan gosling and dismiss this as some stupid action figure movie.

I am firmly in this camp...

This will be a prime example of wait for the reviews/voices I trust.  I want to be optimistic, but it is getting increasingly difficult.

I guess this is going to be a fish out of water story.  It looks like on the road trip they are headed to the "real world" based on the street sign so I'd guess that Barbie world in the trailer is probably just bookends to the actual movie.

my guess too.  i bet we don't have any info on the 1 hour+ of barbie in the real world, and we were just treated to the opening scene plus a few others.

 

barbie world is painful to even look at.  like literally disturbing to my eyes.  hopefully normal world is a little easier.

This has "ugly girls are ok too" written all over it.  

This was definitely part of the vibe for the idea when I was at Mattel in 2016-17. I never saw the script that they were working with back then, but Anne Hathaway & Amy Schumer were two of theactresses that they were talking with back then.

Wonder if "Barbie's boyfriend" Ken will make an appearance, and Ken's "buddy" Allan.....that could take the plot into a whole different direction....

“Barbie” is named after Mattel co-founders Ruth & Elliot Zhadker’s daughter “Barbara”. “Ken” is named after their son.

So Barbie & Ken are siblings who date.

It looks like plenty of people wanted in on this.

I’ve got a feeling that it’s going to be pretty funny. Lots of jokes for the over 18 crowd. 

Mattel has watched Hasbro (“Transformers”) and Lego making a killing on the big screen with content that serves as more than just a reminder to buy toys. They have become studios with rights to world famous brands that bring in tens of millions of dollars in profits on top of advertising their consumer goods.

I have no clue how long Mattel has wanted to make a Barbie movie for the big screen, but they really started to get serious in about 2015 when hiring people who would hold meetings with established film studios and top level talent. All these years later, they are finally making it happen.

Which one was being cast as the ugly one?

Based on that trailer, it looks like it sucks bad.

The netflix series that ran for 5 seasons, Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse, is actually awesome so I was hopeful given that I will have to see this movie with my daughter. Ryan Gosling's Ken alone makes me cringe.

I like Margot Robbie but she doesn’t have Barbie’s body.

The "Unpopular Opinions" thread is that way. (You're fucking crazy, BTW.)

Waiting for the porn spoof.  Which will be terrible, as it will just be characters with no genitals bumping into each other.  But whatever, still waiting for it.

Don't think the spoof will be the sex you prefer, based on that trailer.

Best TV ad of all time....

Would've been a lot better if Nissan actually made the car in the ad at the time it aired

I'd need to inspect her snatch to see if it's shaved/waxed, but i'd wager that it's as clean as that corvette

this all reminds me of american hustle, one of the last movies i ever watched in a theater. every time i see a movie with a cast like this it's vapid crap. i don't know how or why these actors agree to do these movies, or what's more, why people end up hyping so many of them up (again, see: american hustle) when the movie is just boring, bland garbage that never moves my needle.
