>Barbie gf
nope
he is probably gay or a troony by the end of the movie
This is the only movie I am looking forward to. I just want to have fun again.
Just finished watching Tenet for the first time, what a self-important mess of a movie. The stakes were so high and ambiguous that I just couldn't care and nothing seemed to happen during any of the action sequences. Like all Nolan movies it left me cold
Last night I watched Licorice Pizza and had a blast. That movie had higher stakes than Tenet with only a simple story of mismatched romance.
I hope Barbie captures a similar spirit to Licorice Pizza
Thank you for reading my blog.
Not to be a know-it-all, but anon, Nolan’s films are always a self-important mess. I have watched (and hated) every single one. They are all trash.
You sound like you had good taste. I’m glad you liked Licorice Pizza; I havent gotten around to it yet. If you’re interested, the films I had the most fun watching recently were: After Hours, Edge of Seventeen, Napoleon Dynamite, Inherent Vice, and, believe it or not, the Twilight Saga, if only for its extreme boldness, which is matched only by its lack of good sense.
>After Hours
Absolutely loved this movie, really underrated Scorsese. I am a big fan of 'one crazy night' type movies, Miracle Mile is another good example of this. I watched the Twilight Saga with my tasteless ex-girlfriend haha, I enjoyed the first movie but it really lost its charm after that. The first movie was kind of goofy and lighthearted in its execution and it felt like the director was in on the joke. Punch-Drunk Love is another PTA movie that is just a wildly entertaining ride.
If you want something with absurdist humour in a serious setting the movie Underground (1995) is severely underappreciated. The best example of magical realism I've seen in film
>Punch drunk love
Based as frick. Ive never seen Miracle Mile or Underground but I’ll add them to my list.
I actually enjoy the last twilight the most, just for how maddening it is. I watched it in theaters with an exgf without either of us having seen any others. The child getting thrown into the fire in the flashback scene, the bizarre hunt in the beginning, the love triangle being resolved by Jacob falling in love with a baby, it’s all so much. I remember the fight scene at the end, watching it in theaters. It was like those recordings of the Endgame premier. There was screaming and shouting. Wailing and crying whenever a main character died. And then it was revealed to be a dream, and the whole theater groaned, and I lol’d. It’s easily my best theater experience. I’ll be damned if I wasn’t entertained.
You're lucky to have seen the last one first. By that point I was in full Twilight fatigue. I did love the plot point of Jacob and the baby though, it was just such a bizarre part of the plot. At that point you have a 100+ year old dude with a teenage girl and a teenage guy who has been entranced by some magic into eternal love with a baby. It was more funny because I was watching it with my girlfriend who was 10 years younger than me so I got a real kick out of haha. That dream part actually made me furious in the moment. I yelled out "you have got to be fricking kidding me!"
I did scream out “what the shit” when they burned the small child, because it was so unexpected for me. But the dream part… frick. You could feel the fury in the audience.
I just love all the implied questions the series raises up too (vampires think werewolves stink of wet dog, so does Renesme think Jacob just fricking reeks? Will his love be requited? He’s the only one who ages, so will he be 80 hanging out with teens? She reaches full maturity when she’s 7, but will he wait til she’s 18?).
It’s also ripe for meta analysis. Like, isn’t it odd how Stephanie Meyer is so fixated on rushing the life milestones of immortal people? And does it make sense that Edward and Bella would be eternally in love, because they wouldn’t mature or age apart? And apparently it’s all potentially a metaphor for Mormonism (good enlightened vampires = Mormon, Volturi = Vatican). My favorite, of course, is in #4 when the entire plot derails to become a pro-life/pro-choice debate. I always envision a dad taking his teenage daughter to see it, expecting vampire schlock, but instead getting wildly uncomfortable watching anorexic Kristen Stewart sipping blood from a sippee cup while these freaks scream about abortion.
as long as the wolves phase regularly they won't age.
You didn't even like Memento?
It’s Nolan’s best by far, but he struggles deeply with characterization. Instead of having a good narrative made better by the gimmick, the narrative is in service *of* the gimmick, and because the characters are so flat, the story doesn’t feel fulfilling when viewed as a whole. I enjoyed it until the end, which felt cheap, and disliked it upon rewatching.
I have to agree with you on this. Nolan has a hard time creating believable characters who we can root for or empathize with. Everything the characters say or do is in service of the plot, not to build them up as characters. To go back to Tenet the main female character's (Debicki) sole and only motivation is her to escape from her husband's grip and to gain full custody of her son. We only see the son for a total of 10 seconds for the whole film. He is not characterized at all so we as the viewer can't form a connection with him. The only reason we can really care about her character is if we can really sympathise with her as a mother but we never see her do anything as a loving mother because we never see her interact with the kid. Why should we think she's a good mother? Her whole motivation can no longer be taken seriously because in the plot theoretically EVERYONE ON EARTH MIGHT DIE. The stupidest part is when the protagonist is explaining to her how everyone in their timeframe will die and she just says, "but that means my son will die!" It felt so forced, don't forget audience, she loves her son!
I didn't make my point very succinctly but I hope you understand the example
>EVERYONE ON EARTH MIGHT DIE.
I fricking hate this one. It ruins the stakes (the writers are never ballsy enough to follow through) and the world always feels small. Why do I care about the world in Tenent? It’s a dozen flat characters and a handful of extras. But it’s a common problem. The desert in The Good the Bad and the Ugly felt bigger and more looking than the entire galaxy in any of the Nu-Wars.
But yeah, youre 100% right. I think the worst offender is Inception, where DiCaprio’s sole motivation is—like Debicki in Tenet—the unseen children. Worst about is is how THREE characters only exist to provide exposition; Page exists to have the mechanics explained to her, JGL exists to explain the current goal, and Caine exists to explain the protagonist’s backstory. Four if you count the Asian man who only exists to send them on their mission, but he provides some antagonistic role (however brief and marginal). DiCaprio should be interesting, what with the dead ex-wife he’s partially responsible for, but the film never bothers spending time exploring his character; it’s all tangential to the plot, and it only pops up for the set pieces.
Exactly. Tenet reminded me a lot of Inception for obvious reasons, all of which are its flaws in characterization, building character motivations we can get behind, and eschewing good storytelling in favour of pushing a gimmicky sci-fi plot. Another problem I have is that all of the characters are so well-put together. They are immaculately dressed in beautiful settings where money is no object for anything happening on screen. Their morality is never muddied, they're not challenged with problems of conscience or faith. They are wooden people stuck in a whirlwind of a plot with a single-minded goal. This may be a weird complaint but everything just feels too clean and devoid of charm. I would describe it as Nolan's immaculate frame. Very little in the scene tells a story or delivers much expository information unless the frame is directly centered on it, eg a bomb or something. You don't learn anything about the characters from the way they're dressed because they're immaculately tailored, the setting of the scene is just window dressing for what the characters are doing or saying. There are scenes in Tenet which are set in India but you never feel like they're in India. The scene doesn't suggest you're in India. The window dressing of India is immaculate and we are told that the story is moving to India by the characters, otherwise we would never know. Watching Inception or Tenet is like flicking through a GQ magazine for 2.5 hours
memento is that good movie I refused to watch again because the ending made me sad 🙁
Watch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood if you haven't yet
Thanks for the reddit post, kid
Licorice pizza was garbage
>Tenet
The only movie I ever fell asleep watching, I just could even begin to give a frick about what was happening on screen.
Watch Old Henry. Simple single location western. Kino scenes and main actor killed it, didn't know he has range beyond Buster Scruggs like characters.
I think that's true to his character, right?
Ken never had accessories. It was always Barbie's Dream House, Barbie's Dream car, etc. Ken had nothing.
Ken was an accessory.
I think that's what Ken will struggle with in the movie. The "other Kens" aren't there for Barbie to create some cuck narrative in the movie, they're there for Ken to realise how commercial his existence is and how he's nothing more than an accessory for Barbie, leading him to pursue on "what it means to be a man" or whatever from the clues we've seen so far.
That's the plot of BR2049 though.
>You look like a good Ken
K always stood for Ken
Deepest lore
wtf
>officer Ken
>replicants are human size dolls
>you don't like real girls
Blade Runner was already Barbie movie in future.
That’s actually kind of clever. I like when media uses real-life stuff to help define character. Like in Disco Elysium, where the player inevitably makes the character run all the time, but it’s explained away as him being a former gym teacher.
You sound like a fricking redditor
>Still pretending everything in current year isn't low effort goy slop
>Thinks Barbie will be the exception
Yeah bro it's TOTALLY gonna be a hilarious comedy and not a lecture on gender roles! It's got the goose in, he's just like me!!!
Is there where you tell me to stop 'doomposting' and make snide little 'no fun allowed' comments? Learn the lesson you moronic children. Go back to Cinemaphile
>Still pretending everything in current year isn't low effort goy slop
So you've given up on all movies and tv series without exception? You only come here to jerk off on nostalgia and seethe at everything else then?
well you're kind of an utter total fricking moron gay if you think the little women shill is going to make a movie called barbie about ken
Nobody thought that.
hmm
i think... gay
literally no one said that
Why are you so extreme
Is no way they give him something like this, looking like he’ll be an “ugh white MEN”-bait punching bag to encourage feelings of superiority in the white woman audience despite him only being a human accessory, objectified sidekick to the main character. Things aren’t SO unpredictable right now, movie is gonna pander to their sense of superiority like crazy.
Sir, it's a comedy. All we've seen is fake news baiting threads on Cinemaphile claiming it's gonna be a feminist movie.
Not in a million years. This is Greta Gerwig directing. Ken's the antagonist
>what it means to be a man"
No fricking way. It will be about him accepting his cuck accessory life
The on-set photos of Ken goose running on the beach had him run while clutching some books with similar titles.
And you think the movie isn't going to denounce those books?
It seems like a gag so I genuinely don't think they'll focus on it.
You can really tell this is being written/directed by a woman.
>character
oh frick off lol, he was a toy for fricks sake
Nah I think its because Barbie and Ken have been transported to the real world so lost all there stuff.
I'm probably not going to watch this movie, but I really want to hear Goose say "come on Barbie let's go party".
theyre not going to use the song
They're absolutely going to use the song.
i thought they cant because the band didnt want them to. they almost got sued when the song came out
if they grovel and cut a big enough check they probably could
>going through some stuff
sexual uncertainty?
HE HAS NO JOB
HE HAS NO CAR
THIS KEN
HAS A FUNNY FACE
He's just like me.
>Ever doubting the goose
It will be kino and he will literally be me
being so unapologetic about blatantly copying Goose actually goes full circle and becomes giga-chad behavior
Yeah bro we're actually all giga chads with huge dicks and harems of women. Very based and redpilled!
Yes.
That’s weird bros I’m still stuck on the BR2049 goose, despite seeing other movies with him in it, my personality didn’t update
you need to update your BIOS settings each time a new Goose kino drops or youll just keep booting to the same Goose, which in your case is K
You need a checkup, you are way off baseline. But hey at least br2049 is better than OGF goose
Dude that's frickin bullshit, Goose is just goofin' you, but you are right. I AM just like him, and so is Ken from Barbie. We're both young, attractive, charismatic men with really good jobs. I have a bangin' hot girlfriend. She just blew me. Shit was so cash. I can't wait to see Mattel's Barbie Movie
Did someone say Goose?
The goose is loose
QUICK SOMEONE CATCH HIM
No.
Sling some wiches
Ken becomes a male advice coach like Cruise in Magnolia.
Why is Barbie even discussed here? It's going to flop, and any person with s desire to see it should kys.
It's going to save the white race.
Bt demasculating white men, yes.
Cope.
Everyone knows BARBIE will take over this board when it finally gets released
How can people in America suffer? You're literally the most prosperous country in the world. Even if you were born in a bad area, you can take that car that you've been driving since you were 15 years old (imagine a 15 year old yuropoor driving kek) and start anew in a better city. It'll take you a few hours to find a job.
That's why shows like banshee could never be make in Europe. A new guy with nothing arrives to town? In Europe you would need to go to a church to get some food. Fricking shithole.
>That's why shows like banshee could never be make in Europe. A new guy with nothing arrives to town?
He steals someone's identity.
>no money
>no job
>no car
>no house
And yet he will be much more in the wrong that Barbie. Frick these Hollywood elitists. Frick feminists. We legit live in a god damn matriarchy already and it is never enough.
That's nothing like me. I have a car.
what is this movie even gonna be about
Barbie is exiled from the toyhouse for not being perfect enough.
either hamfisted commentary on beauty standards/ body positivity
or
lameass metafiction like lego movie
I like Greta Gerwig, I like Goose, and Robbie is a dime piece. There's no way I will go see this in theatres but I hope it's good.
>There's no way I will go see this in theatres
coward
I can wait for streaming, being in a cinema for a kid movie sounds like torture.
I hope this movie is well received. The Gray Man reviews drop in a few hours and they're sure to be middling to bad because it was directed by those Russo brothers hacks. Goose deserves a better comeback role.
Literally me wow.
>No job, no car, no house
Just like Luke Dalton from Place beyond the pines. Not looking good for Ken.
Ken will probably get both his hands cut off in this movie too. normie audiences LOVE references to movies they've already seen.
Barbie I’d gonna dump Ken because that will be subvert expectations even though it’s exactly what you expect
Obviously
So, he’s a bum?
>no money
>no job
>no car
>no house
literally m-
>aesthetic body, good jawline, charisma, gf
nope
>have money
>have car
>have house
>have job
>gf provided all of it
Fuuuuck I hate this timeline. I'm Ken goose?
Broke broke broke phi broke
We ain't got it
Broke broke broke phi broke
Ain't got no money
Ain't got no clothes
Aint got no car
Can't get no hoes
We broke broke broke phi broke
Hes literally me except he has a gf
Ken is an incel chud neet
Barbie is a strong independent girlboss
It's true that he never had a Ken mansion, or a Ken beach house etc. but he did have his own car at least once.
whenever I think about this movie I just hear spice girls music
I am now sort of hoping the entire film focuses on Ken.
Imagine all the simpining dicky he's going to get from being in that barbie film gosh I wish that were me
