Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie

Idk it’ll probably be gently funny and the music sounds great, probably won’t have any piss jokes like all the other kids’ movies seem to these days

I'm with Milo Z on Life Aquatic, which singlehandedly killed my vague Anderson interest. This on the other hand looks perfectly entertaining.

Honestly, I didn't like it, either. But the fact that the Baumbach co-write "Mr. Fox" is one of my fave Wes Andersons, and was what brought me back as a fan after "Darjeeling," leads me to believe Baumbach wasn't necessarily the problem with "Life Aquatic."

"Mr. Fox" is, well, fantastic.

Miyazaki, Mario, and Barbie - 2023 is looking pretty fun

Had not heard that How Do You Live? is coming out!

Mr. Fox and His Friends?

maybe this will be the trigger we need to get a Josie & The Pussycats Criterion blu ray

Had not heard that How Do You Live? is coming out!

Yeah, I can't wait. Just got the book from the library.

Lolling that the movie about the plumber running around in sewers probably won’t have any piss jokes

Oh no

Just had a weird flashback to Ice Cube drinking piss in the kids movie "Are We There Yet", glad to see piss jokes still a thing two decades on

Oh my

my hot take is when the target of your satire is vacuity, the zings are going to cluster in a very small range

Trailer I saw before (haven't clicked yet on this one) was interesting, but yeah.

Something of a pivot for Ari Aster, then

Okay, now I see

That cast!

just going by that newest trailer wow this thing (visually) looks like total digital shit and not in a cool hyperpop 100gecs way

ugh yeah

This and the new Wes Anderson would be an overwhelming double feature on the eyes.

Lol watched trailer on YouTube and immediately played the trailer for‘Asteroid City’. Overdosed on teal and orange.

in the end when everyone says "I'm gonna beach you off", it sounds a lot like "beat off"

Can't beat off without genitalia

yeah that's what confused me about it

Greta Hedwig

that doesn't seem like a coincidence esp bc "beach you off" isn't something people say?

this movie looks enjoyable imo, from the trailer

They're saying they're going to beach each other off because they don't want each other on the beach. So they would be off beach if the characters follow through on their threats.

I presume because they are being jerks? So why don't they say "Jerk, off!!" ??

sorry i have never heard of this term before
when you want someone off the beach you say "i will beach you off"? no
it's clearly a joke?

Joey Ramone and his brother Mikey Leigh to thread!

I...think that's the joke!

this looks awful but I stan for greta so I will withhold judgment

Greta hasn't stepped a foot wrong this decade.

So this is going to be a Barbie escaping her fantasy world and entering the real world sort of thing, right? Like those Smurfs movies?

hmm, what if it takes place in the extended Smurf universe?

I...think that's the joke!

but the thing is none of them have genitals, so none of them would think "I'm gonna beach you off" is a suggestive thing to say, except for Michael Cera's character whose reaction implies he's the only one with a dick?

Last dozen posts are giving me "Sleep, that's where I'm a Viking" deja vu.

Gonna unbookmark if you all keep this up

-_-

Maybe you should beach out of this thread

Maybe they grew genitals when they appeared in the material world

And the movie is about trying to figure out wtf they are

"What do these do ... ?"

That sort of happened in Pleasantville, from a certain point of view

its a "haha it sounds like men are going to jack each other off" joke you dinks. but its about having a "beach off" which must be a common thing in this stupid universe. its a very bad joke. its to signify that THIS AINT YO GRANDMAS BARBIE MOVIE BABY!

rip frogbs death by obvious joke

Beach, please.


(is an easy joke that is surely in this move)

The beach is back.

I feel like frogbs was being droll as fuck here

maybe it's just the onset of a fascist dictatorship in my country, but I am super over AP's sock account and will now FP on sight

mods plz add “thoroughly enjoyed post” button for me personally to click on most AP contribs I see, until or unless I learn for whom AP is a sock, or that sleeve is in a different country from me and that their perspective does not need to be countered

I braved a cinema at the height of Barbeheimer to see TMNT: Mutant Mayhem, as I am not like other girls.

^^ first sentence of your memoir

Guest House Paradiso is underrated

recently got the boutique blu ray treatment I believe

mods plz add “thoroughly enjoyed post” button

Surely here on I Love Everything this goes without saying. Our posts are an endless succession of mutual enjoyment. Even the FP button is a source of personal delight when used creatively.

Finally watched this in Netflix, and...that's it? That's all there is to a Barbie? It was the lightest and most superficial treatment of the concept, on fast-forward to compress into the run time. I still found parts of it moving but I'm a sap. That's what all the fuss was about??

did you want the Antonioni treatment or

I don't know! I don't even know who that is! I'm pretty dumb about films and I usually like simple things and I'm just saying if *I* was underwhelmed that's pretty underwhelming.

"That's All There is To a Barbie?"

We've only scratched the surface here...

Maybe a film where Barbie becomes a pop star in a band with her brother and then dies of anorexia.

Barbie Does Narnia

I want a cut without all the Will Ferrell running around BS. Given how clever much of the rest of the movie is I'm surprised they went with any of that boilerplate garbage, or couldn't come up with anything better.

I thought it was going to be about Klaus Barbie

"Malibu" Klaus Barbie

the rest of the movie isnt that clever

tbh the parts id drop are america and daughterbrat

We have our Jadis: Emma Mackey.

Ha, wrong Greta thread. But she was in this too!

finally just saw this and 1) should’ve seen this in a theater 2) should’ve seen this in a theater high

Careful what you wish for, the woman seated next to me scrolling on her phone for the duration of the film did not enhance the experience.
