Barbie (2023).
 

Barbie - Rotten Tomatoes

Is this worth seeing? Funny? Edgy?

I did enjoy La La Land. La La Land - Rotten Tomatoes

I just may wait until it comes out on Digital unless it has some really good special effects.

Saw coming attractions yesterday think I would rather spend time here than watch it.

May go to Oppenheimer though but not for a few weeks. We went to three movies this week. I had visiting relative(s).

Does anyone know why there isn't a pregnant Barbie?

Well technically she’s 19 and she’s definitely not married so I’m guessing that’s why?

I had planned on waiting until it came to streaming but with all the hype I think I’ll go see it next week.

I wonder how Barbie will do here in the Villages?

Good question. This movie skews female. I’d say lots will go see out of curiosity. Barbie has been around for so long and there’s never been a movie. Lots of age groups know Barbie.

Not sure. Something about the bubble gum pink around Barbie, the color prisons use for aggressive inmates - or is that fuchsia pink? Also those stilettos etc - it is such a poor image to hand to our children.

With a wardrobe now spanning 64 years worth of fashion, she’s had her pick of footwear, but Barbie has been closely associated with the stiletto mule — also called the stiletto slide or sandal — since her inception.

The movie actually makes fun of that. In Barbie world, her feet are permanently in tip-toes, like actual Barbie, but she goes to the real world and she can’t walk, she literally falls down and her feet become normal and flat. This is all in the trailer so I’m not giving away anything. I haven’t seen it yet. Also, it’s rated PG 13. it’s not for kids.

I do enjoy Margot Robbie in almost anything.

This day and age
 

This day and age, 19 not married, already has one, another on the way, Ken's the father and who knows who's the other father.

That "image" has been around since 1959. Barbie is as much a part of Americana as Star Trek, Mickey Mouse or the Super Bowl.

Another different review. For most don’t take grandkids.

Barbie - Plugged In

Because Ken has no you-know-what; he's not 'anatomically correct' (can you say that now-a-days?).

Probably not at a convention for transgender rights but any where else would be free speech. Ugly free speech but allowed.

Ken doesn't have the equipment to impregnate her.

Fuchsia is my favorite color, and I have always worn it a lot. My Vanderbilt Law School classmates joked that I wouldn’t be wearing it at commencement. Well, I wore fuscia high-heeled pumps across the stage to receive my hood and diploma.

I retire in December and my husband and I will join you all then. You’ll know me - I’ll be the one in pink.

If you want to do that - double header - I would definitely suggest recliner seating. Go to AMC at the mall in Leesburg.

Because Ken came in a different box.

Very uncomfortable. I, personally, don’t like to see people suffer. What does it say about people who like to see others suffer? Notice how popular that shoe style is among men?

Glad to hear that… I sort of think I’m probably not going to watch the movie though.

It probably suits you, I have fuchsia lipstick - but if you wear a lot of it - it should de energize all the aggressive people around you.

I saw a recent picture of you a few weeks ago. You will be hard to miss!:icon_wink:

Barbie
 

I definitely want to see this. Not for kids and I heard it is hysterical. Even my 27 year old say she wants to see it (if only we lived in the same state)

LOL!!! Not quite that bad!

The Numbers - Daily Box Office Chart for Friday July 21, 2023

Barbie is doing extremely well at the box office. Movie theaters are not dead yet.

Now, that's funny.

Barbie, Oppenheimer, Indiana Jones, Mission: Impossible, et.al. Movies are doing quite well.

You’re kidding, right?

There was a pregnant Barbie. ‘Midge’.

Midge, the pregnant Barbie, is featured in the film. Which I saw and enjoyed.

I love seeing how others, even a doll, experience the world. And this was a throwback to my childhood for sure.

This article implies that Indiana Jones bombed.

Breaking even can't be called a success, but it was entertaining.

I didn't "do" the whole Barbie phase when I was a kid, I was more into playing "fort" with blankets stretched over chairs in the den, making snow forts, and Lincoln logs. But I grew up with a sister who was very much into "all things dollies." So it'll be great to see this movie once it comes out in streaming on the internet.

Sound of Freedom is a much better choice

It is a very important movie to see and to do something about in some way if only to talk about it. I mean Sound of Freedom.

"The Villages Daily Sun" movie times...
 

... are encircled with a pink border. And they used a lot of pink ink on the bottom.

I will probably wait for Barbie to come out on Digital. It is already set up for pre-order.

It’s doing well…. As a female director myself, this is great to see.


Greta Gerwig has broken the opening weekend record for a female director, solo or otherwise.

Her Barbie movie opened to an estimated $155 million at the North American box office over the July 21-23 weekend, a historic sum that easily surpasses the $103.3 domestic opening of Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman. In 2019, Captain Marvel also broke the glass ceiling when debuting at $153 million. That movie was co-directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck.

Other stats: Barbie scored the top opening of the year to date, as well as one of the top openings since the pandemic, and it towered over Christopher Nolan’s male-skewing Oppenheimer this weekend. (Oppenheimer still did well in its own right for a three-hour historical drama in opening to $80.5 million).
