[Film] Barbie

[sussex_guy2k2]

It’s really good fun. Certainly worth a watch.

Why didn’t Barbie ever get pregnant by Ken?

Because Ken came in a different box!

My daughter preferred Cindy, which was British.

Absolutely superb film, genuine belly laughs mixed in with some well judged messaging. The most fun I’ve had at a cinemain ages, the place was buzzing. Highly recommended

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Too radical. It will just be ignored and people will start ad hoc film threads instead…

Gonzo.

And Brexit?

And Brexit?

Not American!

whilst it would seem to be a girly film to go and see, plenty of chaps in there. Definitely a film for everyone.

Mrs Bobkin went to see it last week and she genuinely DID think it was shitehouse!

Is she happy with you outing the provenance of her funbags?

My daughter saw it last night. Said it's a film I'd like....thought she was being a bit facetious, but the comments on here, I'll look out for it on Disney+

It's a warner bros movie, so unlikely to be on Disney+. Warner are part of the HBO family, so will likely be on Max in the US, and will have to get a distribution deal in the UK and other places without Max. Prime has a few of the DC superhero movies at the moment, so it might end up there. Sky also have a good relationship with HBO, so it'll likely be on there, too. But I would be surprised if it ended up on Disney - they only tend to show stuff they own (Fox/Serchlight, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, etc).

Sindy. Discussed this with my friend who had Barbie, my sister/cousins had Sindy. Ended up looking her up and saw that for a period in the 80s and 90s Hasbro had the rights to her. They don't currently, but after the success of Barbie, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to do something (the last Transformers films teased a cross over with GI Joe, maybe she could get a guest spot in there).

Ok, good info.
I'll reword it to I'll wait until it's on a uk streaming service

 

[Questions]

This reminds me, we really ought to have a Film thread, where we can discuss that years film releases.
In order to keep it current, perhaps we could start a new thread at the start of each year.

I’m still reading the 2015 thread.

 

[Questions]

My daughter preferred Cindy,

I certainly did. Barbie was so much up her own…… well you know.

Hahaha

 

[brightn'ove]

It upset Ben Shapiro a lot, so its alright by me

What a surprise.

That bloke is a prize twat.

I have reluctantly agreed to go tomorrow to watch it with Mrs Cottager and Ms Cottager. What swung it for me is that the star Margot Robbie is also a Cottager.

I thoroughly enjoyed the film. Good blend of humour and sexual politics.
