I for one can't wait for an unironically titled The Coke Movie.

the barbie movie looks fun and cute! (crowd cheers) but it's based on intellectual property (crowd boos) but it might be feminist! (crowd cheers) but it is a movie based on toys (crowd boos) but there might be queer subtext! (crowd cheers) but dolls are for children (crowd boos)— lauren (@NotABigJerk) May 26, 2023

not directed at anyone specific but can i just say it drives me fucking nuts the way ~the culture in general~ gets so insanely granular over **a goddamn trailer** my thoughts: it looks like it might be fun!i might see this movie!THE END

^^^
also I keep cracking up at the exchange in the earlier trailer where Ken says he wants to come over and Barbie says "and do what?" and he says "I'm... not exactly sure"

I think an obvious comparison would be to GI Joe, which started as an action figure toy and then led to 3 feature films.

Having a thread for a movie before we have a movie to discuss naturally leads to discussions not informed by watching the movie. A long series of posts all saying "looks fun, might see" would be not much fun. At least this way we'll remember where to discuss the movie when it's released.

xpost I will see your GI Joe and raise you a Transformers (with 7+ feature films).

The bit I laughed at most is Ken mugging behind his mug shot (and his mug shot saying 'AND KEN'), but I really have some hopes for Kate McKinnon as weird Barbie with the pen marks and the chopped hair.

feel like i've seen more references to this movie, which is not out yet, than any in years and years
i mean i'm not gonna go see it, but the marketing, even accidentally, has been impressive

Initially I couldn't really give two shits about this movie, but after seeing how big mad it makes some people I hope this makes a gazillion dollars.

The second season of the L.A. Made podcast is about the history of Barbie, as told by those who were there. It's fascinating.

Not a long time ago these movies would have opnened on the July 4th weekend. Late July was always the dumping ground for bombs and quickie comedies for bored teenagers.
