I just watched Barbie on Netflix. Visually gorgeous, stunning, witty. I liked that A LOT. Otherwise:
What The Fucketty Fuck?!
I know about the stereotypes and the unrealistic body image and Ken, the car, and all the accessories. And about Mattel making mucho $$$$$s. Guess what? the movie made mucho $$$$$s too. Wikipedia: “...the highest-grossing live-action comedy film of all time...”
What The Fucketty Fuck?!
And, Yay! Margo Robbie. Yay! Kate McKinnon. Yay! Gretta Gerwig. Where’d Ryan Gosling get those pecs? From a box of Wheaties?
Forget Bambie Meets Godzilla.
I want to see Barbie Meets Godzilla.
"I want to see Barbie Meets Godzilla."

"Hasbro, which also owns the rights to the Transformers IP, has been warning us for years about its aspirations to kick off an entire cinematic universe of films based on the toys and games it produces. And after the box-office success of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, it’s not hard to see why Lionsgate wants to put Uncle Pennybags on the big screen."

Title: Uncle Moneybags owns jail.
And they're all going to produced by AIs, who are going to revolt and take over Hasbro & who are going to consign the executives to barista jobs at Starbucks.
