its disney movie with brie larson

 

doesn't matter. this kind of shit is an everyday thing. it doesn't make irrelevant movies relevant even though some are hoping for it. Barbie isn't relevant becasue of discourse. It's relevant cause it's relevant discourse or no discourse. Same goes for Oppenheimer.

 

EDIT: Just saw Mod post. End of Marvel discussion.

Barbie opening in Paris h14 Is the best since Doctor strange 2 (7.2k tickets).

 

Interesting: if Barbie has the best opening Nolan has the second best opening of 2023.

In France too is gonna be a big big weekend. 

[Valonqar]

Yep 2 blockbusters this week both with fantastic reviews that are great counterprogramming to each other. Perfect weekend incoming. 

 

that said, Kensisters did we lose? RDJ's gonna win the Oscar isn't he?

Please yes! Supporting is a category fraud and since RDJ is coming at least camapign and place Gosling where he belongs.

I’m currently in Barbados on vacation but the theater by me does have a Barbieheimer combo, so I plan on seeing both this weekend or next week.

There is no way. Even having not watched the film, Margot is the lead actress. Ryan would run for and likely will get a nomination for supporting actor, same as RDJ.

Try to imagine the Mario movie but it had something interesting in it.

 

These critiques are actually making me more excited for the film than the heaps of praises XD

Yeah but this isn’t Ken’s film. It’s Barbie’s. Legit think he wouldn’t be able of running for best actor for this film, regardless how much screen presence he has.

I don't know, seems like at some point Ken Is very relevant. He's on every poster and main promotional things and Margot made or group interviews with others or interviews with Ryan. So they could try It. Also every review saying he's award worthy seems to talk about him as lead actor.

He can’t win an Oscar, he’s just Ken

I mean, he can; but as a supporting actor. What I’m actually curious is if Margot gets a nom and the odds of she bringing it home.

[Lucas]

Oh this screening is all pink and packed to the max.

She said that she is open to make them and would be interested on doing it. It’s not ‘teh internet’.

In general though, it’s true. 
 

yeah she did say it. But it felt like it was just a polite answer as it must be a despairing kind of question to get. So predictable and most interviewers on the junket only ask it for clicks.

I mean, I just don’t like how part of the film twitter always try to take directors agencies on what should or shouldn’t be their next projects. I don’t care what any director makes, even the ones I love, as long as they are happy and well paid. It just feels condescending to me when people assume and talk about what directors mean. She can speak for herself, and I don’t need to infer what she truly means or not.

I mean, it depends how important the character is for the movie. There could be nominations for best actress and best actor from the same movie.

Narina by Netflix sounds like an incredibly boring proposition but, to be fair, I might have said the same about a live action barbie movie a couple of years ago. Maybe she’ll subvert the story and bake it an atheist rally cry.

I forgot the Narina movies existed until now.

 

How where they about lure Gerwing in as director? Just throw tons of money at her like they always do for other creators?
