So I finally watched #Barbie this evening…was it just me or did it feel like Greta Girwig had written and rewritten the script, really honing about the first 45 mins…and then it got a bit clunky? There were still moments of brilliance later on, but less and less so.
I think Barbie benefitted from Margot Robbie having been to the Neighbours school of acting - I mean that sincerely and without sark.
The appeal of Ryan Gosling meanwhile still mystifies me…
"The others being depicted as dolls are gymnasts Rebeca Andrade and Alexa Moreno, soccer players Mary Fowler and Christine Sinclair, boxer Estelle Mossely, swimmer Federica Pellegrini, paratriathlete Susana Rodriguez and track and field sprinter Ewa Swoboda."

The #dolls are part of 65th anniversary for #Barbie are gymnasts Rebeca Andrade of Brazil & Alexa Moreno of Mexico, Aussie soccer player Mary Fowler, French boxer Estelle Mossely, Italian swimmer Federica Pellegrini, Spanish paratriathlete Susana Rodriguez, & track & field sprinter Ewa Swoboda of Poland.
This week we look back and see the signs of our transness were always with us, and talk about one of the most important lines in the entire movie.
We also overcompensate in trying to prove how not-trans we are, and that causes all kinds of problems for ourselves (and there's an entire bucket full of Matrix references)! @mystical_alexis returns to discuss superfluous men!
I finally watched the #Barbie movie, and I love it.
I think it’s a great movie to weed out Patriarchy Enthusiasts, just like Starship Troopers is a great movie to weed out Fascists. Post some meme from the movie, and watch the comments come in. The bigots will basically self-identify.
Tillyvision continues with THE INTENTIONAL (!) TRANS ALLEGORY OF #BARBIE (the movie), PART 3!
We’re gonna engage with the subconscious, experience more body changes, and take our first steps into the real world as ourselves. Things are gonna get weird!
A Symbol y a mí nos ha parecido muy pobre el debate general sobre el feminismo en #Barbie y creemos que si bien la película como comedia viene armada con un ejército de personajes cargadísimos de defectos con los que empatizar, reír e incluso dejar caer alguna lagrimita, si se mira más allá de la lucha entre machirulos de playa y princesas de plástico hay temas preciosos como que dos de estos personajes estereotipados busquen una nueva identidad y propósito a sus vidas que no dependan de otras.
Es una lástima entrar con prejuicios a ver una película y salir de ella con el ego inflado y ganas de discutir cuando hay tantas cosas que disfrutar en cada una y por las que compartir una buena experiencia con los demás que deje un recuerdo al que merezca la pena regresar.
Con #Oppenheimer más de lo mismo, aunque es considerablemente más densa, seria y en algunos aspectos superficial en comparación con #Barbie. Pero trata una historia importantísima y que merece ser estudiada y reflexionada. 👌
I had seen enough critiques of #Barbie from the left that I wasn't gonna watch it, but I'm thinking I will now because of my experience watching another "girly" piece of media, the #Netflix#SheRa, and how I noticed I tend to avoid anything overtly girly despite my outward beliefs.
It made me realise how the "masculine=universal" part of our society had impacted my tastes.
This is my toy account, where I will be posting new toys, dolls, and figurines. I'm not looking to improve my photography; I'm just hoping to motivate myself to do something about my backlog of unopened toys.
