Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie

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

beaching a dead horse

is also an obvious dumb pun

to beach their own?

itt people who've never been involved in a beach off

Beach/Off is my second favorite Nic Cage movie.

The vibe reminds me a lot of the '90s Brady Bunch (and other '90s post-mod reboots of beloved pop-culture properties).

Big ol' feature. Still convinced this is going to be a musical.

barbie driving singing along to the indigo girls >>>>>>>>>>

I'm in

I don’t really want to see this, but I love gerwig enough that I probably will anyway

^^^ where I am basically

That cotton candy color scheme, if it pervades the entire film, would be extremely painful to sit through.

That god The Real World in this movie is simply technicolor, not universal fluorescence.

Can't wait for the discourse on this one tbh

for real

My take on Barbie is that it was very funny

agreed (age 57 here)

My take on Barbie is that people who were children in 1961 (when Barbie was introduced) would like it well enough.

fwiw I think "I'm not the target audience for this" - which is more or less what I took Aimless's post to be saying - is a reasonable thing to say, which doesn't mean you can't enjoy things that aren't targeted at you ofc. at any rate preferable to assuming everything in the world was made for your specific sensibilities and getting angry when something doesn't fit into that.

or someone else doesnt like it
