I studiously paid zero attention, then saw the trailer. It frankly looks hilarious, and I have warned my federal government gene scientist daughter that if she doesn't go see it and report, I am going to get into her toy box, count the Barbies and put it out on social media.

My buddy (is 74) takes his grand daughter to the movies all the time, at least that is his excuse :-) . Tuesday is free popcorn/soda

He's going.

Is this a Porno flick?

Hip

I think it is more a case of Baz Luhrmann meets "Peewee's Big Adventure."
Honestly, the trailer strikes me as really funny. This aging Boomer grew up in the heart of the Mattel rules era-- the 60s, and no, I never had any use for G.I. Joe, either.

It certainly is getting a lot of press, V/S Oppenheimer. Now to me, the interest would be in the latter, but who knows, they might both be good( although I can not conceive of any interest in a Barbie movie.

Well, they are really pushing it.

Saw a report saying it had one of the highest income from first day.

Looked the number on the Net.

All bulls hit!

Not even close!

Well, nobody is putting out any other movies or at least not very many! The whole industry is falling apart. The actors are dying to get jobs. Look how many actors are now making commercials just to earn a few bucks. The TV shows and sitcoms are the same way----THEY SUCK!!!!!

Hip

Limited release.. pump it up

Not gonna go see it.

Went to see Oppenheimer last week. Great movie. Barbie was in the theater next door. There was maybe 25 people in ours. Barbie was packed. Says a lot about the average American these days.

Isn't Barbie played by that cute Aussie chick?
The guys will go see it with their girlfriends to look at her I bet!

Like I said, says a lot about the average American…… Good forbid they should educate themselves about a turning point in world history- the dawn of the atomic age and nuclear weapons...

Right On! No wonder the rest of the world views Americans in general as a bunch of fools.

Hollywood shot themselves in the foot.

Using CGI for everything .

Making movies more like computer games!

Jumping on the stupid woke bandwagon.

Every movie has a message!

No entertainment at all.

If you guys want to see a real substantive movie in the theaters now along with Barbie and Oppenheimer, check out Sound of Freedom.

The Flintstones is even better!

The Marx Bother Going auto the Circus!

Truth.

The actress who plays Barbie is also the producer and stands to make at least 50 million on the movie. BTW, there is a new Barbie doll coming out. She is "Divorced Barbie". She costs a fortune but comes with all of Ken's stuff and one of his friends.

I liked Margo Robbie in "Once upon a time in Hollywood" where she portrayed Sharon Tate.I was dreading the ending as I lived through the real thing in 69, but Tarantino came through again with a different twist of an ending.Much as I don't care for "pretty boy actors" Brad Pitt + Leonardo De Caprio, it was a damn good movie.
