Barbie (Greta Gerwig, July 21, 2023) Movie • Page 21

Caught this last night. So, so funny & good.

 

A lot of the jokes definitely went over a lot of peoples' heads. Snydercut, Lou Reed, and so many others. Movies for kids have always had jokes for adults baked in here and there, but I can't think of another movie that was so directed at a different audience than the product being sold. You could definitely feel Baumbauch's writing in there with those very specific references most people aren't going to get.

 

The Synder cut joke was one of the worst jokes in the whole movie. It made me think of a bad SNL bit

 

might go see this again tomorrow afternoon

 

excuse me it isn't the lou reed joke it's the stephen malkmus joke jesus christ

 

if you didn't like the Snyder cut joke its because you were the target of it. I laughed out loud at that one and some of the other more specific ones that many in my theater missed.

 

seeing it tonight

 

Yes

 

I got an almost violent reaction from my male co-workers when I mentioned I saw the movie. Younger men, too.

 

I’ve never seen the syder cut but that joke landed like a studio note tryna plug another Warner movie

 

Pathetic and sad.

 

Thought the Snyder Cut joke was clearly used because of that shitty toxic mostly male (!) culture/fanbase and their disgusting behavior.

 

Same. Which is why I laughed very hard out loud.

 

I’m not surprised, but I can’t imagine caring that much about what movie a coworker saw.

 

i don't know how men aren't realizing ken is the protagonist

 

Now THIS is a take

 

the subplot of ken "waking up" to the idea of the patriarchy and the montage that led that off was one of the funniest parts of this for me. I chuckle every time I think of it

 

Lol no, it's because it's a corny topic-of-the-week kind of joke that you'd expect from some last night show. They might as well have made a Drumpf reference. I "get" the joke because I'm online enough to have heard about the whole thing, but I've never seen or cared about any of those DC movies

 

Anytime there can be a shot taken at the Snyder cult, it should be taken. Every time.

 

Caring about it in a negative way that much is just as off-putting as the people who care about it in a positive way tbh. It was a humorous thing for like a week or two several years ago, time to move on

 

You must not have been on twitter since then.

 

not every joke will land for everyone, it's fine

 

True. The one that landed headrest in my theatre was the line that the Jr. employee from Mattel delivered in the conference room. line was something like “wait, I have low confidence and am not in a position of power, does that make me a woman?”


Was a real “yeesh!” moment.

 

There could have been way worse terminally online jokes than a Snyder cut joke
