Anyone see Barbie and too embarrassed to post?
« on: 26 Jul 2023, 06:15 pm »



I haven't seen Barbie yet but definitely will when it's streaming. Everyone involved in making this film is a favorite, from Greta Gerwig to Margo Robbie to everyone in between.

The server at Borderlands Brewing Co. Sam Hughes Taproom loved Barbie, her boyfriend stayed home. A friend just texted me saying that the Barbie showing was well attended with lots of young girls dressed up in Barbie outfits but didn't see a single Ken.

I definitely want to.  But I'm waiting to see it at home.

I saw Barbie... yesterday my wife got her 1959 doll out of a box at the bottom of the closet.  Her head had come off, so I spent an hour with her rigging a new pivot joint.  She's not as flexible as she once was, but she's 65 years old.

Nope...not what I would usually see in the theater.

That said, I will probably see it when I can watch it home.

My 21 year old son saw it, and enjoyed it quite a bit.

I will see it if somebody wants to pay me $500 to do so.
My sister had a Barbie (of course). My parents didn't want her to but somebody gave her one so that were stuck with the choice of which would cause less lasting trauma- confiscating it or giving in. They let her keep it.
Only thing I want to know is, why does Ken look like Mike Pence?

I too would probably go see it for $500... and for a grand I would even pretend I enjoyed it.

I'm printing up your money. Small denominations and untraceable, right?



Wonder if anyone tried to buy a ticket with Barbie money?

I'm with the general consensus here, not if you paid me.  Well, maybe if you paid me more than anyone would actually pay me.  I might, a very low probability might, watch it on a streaming service for "free" (streaming services aren't free) when it makes the rounds.  Unless I have something more pleasant to do like excising an ingrown toenail.

Audiophiles (mostly, but not exclusively, old  guys) isn't exactly the target market for Barbie.

It’s a satire, so I’ll be watching it once it hits streaming.

Probably won't watch it, but I did a chuckle from the photos that the governor of my state posted depicting herself as Barbie.

My wife has expressed an interest in <our> seeing the movie, so I may be the first one to watch it in the next day or two.
