Unless all of the reviewers have colluded to push a false version of the plot for no real reason, it's real. The marketing completely lied to us about what the movie would be like.
my friends as every other normie in latinoamerican countries are going to watch this shit thinking is somet type of light comedy. I cannot wait the reactions
Yeah who is still seeing movies in theaters? Are theaters 100% for couples going on first dates now? Every movie comes out on streaming like 2 months after it releases in theaters, so even non-pirates can watch it at home.
I think the only reason to go to the theaters is for something like an avatar. An immersive experience.
If they figure out how to do a virtual reality movie with true surround sound directional audio while in the theater with vibrating seats and shit like that, I might actually go to the theater again.
It has to be an exclusive, unable-to-be-duplicated-at-home experience to recover the people they’ve lost.

The industry took a huge hit when latino moms with 7 kids realized they don't need to spend $150 to see the latest shitty 3d animated movie and instead can just leave the kids at home to mindlessly browse tiktok or play some timesink game forever.
The pricing is a big thing. I agree.
While it has led to a box office explosion, it’s turned off people to the point many will never return.
The price increases have covered up the reduction in actual tickets sold.
A little misleading because there’s additional barriers to entry. Some theaters are charging convenience fees and other sneaky things that may not reflect on the actual ticket price.
Oh, yes- absolutely price is a major factor. I was looking into going to a matinee and did a double take on the ticket price. A matinee used to be around five bucks and now its $9.95, which is what nightly showings used to cost. Then out of curiosity I looked at nightly showings and they were around $11, which is only about a dollar or so more than it used to be. I don't know if it's like this in theaters around the country but I think it's a pretty huge fricking mistake to double matinee prices like that. Oooh, I save two bucks- big fricking deal. I'll just stay home.
>2000 >Tickets sold: 1.4B >2022 >Tickets sold: 0.828B
Now that is an interesting stat I haven't seen before, they always hype up the box office sales not the number of tickets
I'm shocked more theaters aren't closing. I live in a relatively small town and I've no idea how it supports two movie theaters. The days of sold out opening nights and weekends are long over, and that's with the ability to book your seats ahead of time online without having to stand in line. I remember standing in line to get tickets, being told "I'm sorry that showing is sold out. We have some seats left for the 11pm showing" and hanging around to be one of the first in the theater to grab decent seats. Everybody just wants to stay home now and stream it to their televisions.
You might be right looking at reviews. How awful, I thought it would be some rom-com like you said, escapism into the world of barbie and nostalgic for a lot of girls. Taking yourself too seriously is cringe
>Kate McKinnon doing her quirky wacky 40 year old theater kid routine
I hope to god all the barbiebros were tongue in cheek this whole time. Imagine if you were actually looking forward to this movie and expected it to be good.
>submissive roles such as maids, housewives, and girlfriends >girlfriends
Who wrote this? Let's set aside maids and housewives being "submissive." (Wrong, btw.) Being a GIRLFRIEND is considered a "submissive" role? That's news to me. What sort of relationships is a "strong" woman supposed to pursue? Is she supposed to just prostitute around? How is it that the most basic beginner level of commitment is seen as submissive?
Yes moron. The entire thing is literally about feminists just straight up admitting they don't give a frick about equality and want a matriarchal society where women have to go to fricking corporations to protect them from the inevitable at all points, surrendering our entire society to morons who thinks you can genuinely use GTA infinite money glitches irl.
>What sort of relationships is a "strong" woman supposed to pursue? Is she supposed to just prostitute around? How is it that the most basic beginner level of commitment is seen as submissive?
Yes. Women basically prostitute around and men are expected to be there for her when she's ready to "settle down".
>Ruth Handler >creator of Barbie
Hmm... >Handler was born Ruth Marianna Mosko in Denver, Colorado, to Polish-israeli immigrants Jacob Moskowicz, a blacksmith, and Ida Moskowicz, née Rubenstein.[6]
I think it will open well based on aesthetic and hype, but if this is true then damn they really screwed with an innocent IP. Average people are tired of the forced politics at this point. This won’t win with most women, only the hyper online urban feminist alone ones
The Mattel execs (including the female ones, such as the top person in Mattel films) were clearly extremely nervous about this movie, and saying shit like >It’s not a feminist movie!
This tbh >merchandise-driven doll movie needs the Kens to rise up and do the patriarchy for 5 minutes because Feminist Media has no playbook for not having a liberation narrative
That’s what women wanted. They wanted to take on the massive burden of providing for everyone and constantly working and never having time for anything else
After thousands of years of getting to reap the rewards of men’s hard work they’ve decided it’s empowering to be slaves to a job or whatever
Men are stoked they can finally relax
>Men are stoked they can finally relax
i wish that were the case, but women have shown time after time that they have no idea how the world works or what the hell they are doing.
Humans are not functionally more intelligent beings than they were since the dawn of civilization, anon, and it’s not a surprise that every successful understood that women destroy society. Women having rights is a repeating sign of decadence, decay, and destruction. Women in positions of power (not even politically even within a singular household) operate on the feminine instinct to weed out the inferior, to weed out the weak. That is the anti-thesis of society, which exists to bring man-made order to Mother Nature. In a stable, peaceful, and prosperous society that might mean a weak man could breed. It’s why women specifically are the ones who welcome foreigners so readily, as the fastest way to destroy your own society is to invite outsiders with reckless abandon.
It is in the female dna to destroy order and society, to return it to chaos simply so they don’t need to make the mistake of choosing the wrong mate. It’s that greedy and pathetic.
For me, the best example of female psychopathy was with accusations were almost always from women. Literally clawing out their eyes and skin for attention just so they can have the old crone who lives by herself hurting no one burned alive, drowned, or hanged.
Yeah, this is really the wrong generation to release a story like this. Young men are doing worse than young women in practically every metric and have mostly given up.
You know what I love about feminists? Even when they're given absolute free reign, unlimited budgets, and a captive audience to push their delusions, they *still* manage to make women look like moronic children because they have no grasp of implications even though they've based their entire postmodern bullshit routine on drawing them out of thin air, asserting batshit conclusions that don't really follow from them even if taken at face value, and then demanding all of society be changed based on those conclusions.
If this shitpile movie is asserting that the Barbies(women) can easily overthrow the Kens(men) with barely any effort if they Just Put Their Minds To It using the power of their magical c**ts or whatever, and that this ostensible fact is so obvious it can be easily demonstrated in a shitty "lighthearted" Brand Movie, the implication is that women are fricking morons for A: failing to realise this IRL or B: being unable to act on that realization IRL. Depicting the Kens(men) as incompetent bumbling duders *only makes the women look dumber by comparison*, because we're supposedly all so stupid and brutish and yet despite both social power and martial might long since having been disconnected from physical strength, we're supposedly still "oppressing" half the fricking population.
You're right. Sometimes I'm convinced there's a genuine misogynist behind this because all of these recent strong female characters are written as being absolutely fricking incompetent. It reminds me of Fury Road making the women morons that destroyed the last fertile ground in the world because of Gina tingles and the author genuinely thought he was a feminist and an ally.
>NOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT BARBIE NOT MY HECKING LE BASED RYAN GOSLING MOVIE THIS IS EVEN WORSE THAN WHEN CHAD SLAMMED ME INTO THE LOCKER AT SCHOOL FOR BEING RUDE TO HIS CUTE TRANS GF
I'm gonna laugh so hard if it ends up like that. The vengeful women are going to get more assertive, and the rest of the public is going to be left with a bad taste on how woke shit ruins yet another brand.
I was gonna ask why Hollywood always have the worst ideas for movies about toys or videogames, but I believe the answer is very obvious.
Nope. It reads like a parody of a feminist movie written by someone on here in 2016 but every review backs up that it's actually like this unironically.
>ken uprisng is crushed
The sad Ken memes are coming

No way it’s real

What a surprise
nice
would pirate once available

so basically dbox? those are still pretty rare though and tbh I found the whole experience annoying

never 4get
how would the barbies "strike back" against the kens and reinstate a matriarchy after the kens just threw it down?
by using GI Joe guns you fricking moron
they just refuse to have sex for a few days
many such cases
>submissive roles such as maids, housewives, and girlfriends

What sort of relationships is a "strong" woman supposed to pursue? Is she supposed to just prostitute around? How is it that the most basic beginner level of commitment is seen as submissive?
You're supposed to have a non-binding "partner" in an open relationship and you're not supposed to be judgmental if they hook up with someone else.
>What sort of relationships is a "strong" woman supposed to pursue?
A strong woman is the one who's loyal.
>>How is it that the most basic beginner level of commitment is seen as submissive?
What do you mean?
Yes moron. The entire thing is literally about feminists just straight up admitting they don't give a frick about equality and want a matriarchal society where women have to go to fricking corporations to protect them from the inevitable at all points, surrendering our entire society to morons who thinks you can genuinely use GTA infinite money glitches irl.

>It’s a fun romp!
While the actors were saying the exact opposite.
Who cares? Why would anyone here watch a girl film. What did you expect it to be, the Wild Bunch?
You're so boring anon
No, Im not a girl, homosexual or troony.
This moron fell for the shitposting and thought people were actually hyped for a fricking barbie movie.
If it was a fun comedy movie in the style of "Elf" then I probably would have seen it. Not whatever the frick it ended up being.
Pls be true.
Jesus fricking Christ
Oppenbros.
We won.
>women work and the men play
isnt that how society is now
young men are just all at home playing video games letting the matriarchy do its thing
This tbh

first 2 paragrahps are a good movie
the other last 2 are the alienating part
also
>subjugated into submissive role as girlfriends
top kek
>Pls God let it not be true
you are surprisingly invested in the plot of the barbie movie
>movie ends with Barbie going to a gynecologist
>Kens just chill on the beach while women do everything else
why would they rise up against this
shouldn’t they strive for equality? why must matriarchal society be dominant? 3rd wave feminism is such bullshit.
Fact: Ken has always been an accessory for Barbie.
who cares? why would you watch this shit? are you a homosexual by chance?

Yes, the ~~*answer*~~ is very obvious. The world is desperately in need of an answer to that ~~*answer*~~.
This is a joke right? lmfao
Nope. It reads like a parody of a feminist movie written by someone on here in 2016 but every review backs up that it's actually like this unironically.
Greta Gerwig is a hyperfeminist b***h. zit was always going to be like this.
Is it true simu's character gets raped by a homeless man?
he gets raped by lena dunham
