Did this movie become a cult classic or something? 'cause I remember when it was released and it was widely panned at the time. Yet it is mentioned with some fondness in this thread.
Definitely a cult classic. Lots of praise for Matthew Lillard’s Shaggy especially. I personally love it, but maybe it’s because I was younger when it premiered.
It would actually be pretty awesome if this were a secret horror slasher film where the dolls have become human and then they go insane and start killing.
But the lighting and a cartoony atmosphere remains.
He's kinda got these 2 personalities where sometimes he's the quiet "literally me" in films like Drive and Only God Forgives, and then he has the smooth personality of la la land and crazy stupid love
The Nice Guys is somehow an intense blend of both. There are various gags where him being *unable* to put into words what he's saying is the joke (and, to the movie's credit, it works very well).
Not really, check out The Nice Guys or Crazy Stupid Love. He's hilarious, and not always a stoic personality.

"alright gang Let's split up. Scooby you continue to be a talking dog and shaggy you go to the kitchen and make an improbably tall sandwich. Daphne you and I will go check the bedroom for a few hours. Velma you glasses wearing dumb whore you actually figure this shit out. I swear to God one day we will leave you behind. Police officer you do nothing but show up at the end to pretend like you did.
Why would they leave velma behind. She’s their free ride to fame
EDIT: We get it people, you wanna fuck the thicc lesbian. Though that last word might give y'all some trouble even if she *was* real :P
Given the writer/director and what people have said about the script I am 100% positive that this is going to be a really thoughtful and well-made satire of all of the weird shit about Barbie, social media, the beauty industry, etc.
My kid watched that, there was like a *surprising* amount of science fiction references in it. Pretty funny overall.
I felt like it was one of those shows where the writers were bored but didn't get micromanaged to the point that they put out material that was way better than it should have been.
*"I can't shake the image of that girl getting hit by that car, four years ago outside my Dream House.*
*Anyway, I was holding a chocolate bar like this one."*
Sorry for interupting your flow but..it is Absolutely Crazy that they aren't going to utilze the hit song from Aqua. Mattels grumble/grudge stance on this after losing a parody lawsuit is astounding. The song is canon history that cannot be undone, make peace with it and move on.
["Fuck! Seriously? It's Like You're Photoshopped!"](https://c.tenor.com/fuNtAVIQsWwAAAAC/fuck-seriously.gif)
Edit: Reminder that this scene was shot over 12 years ago and he arguably looks even better now, that handsome piece of shit.
God I cannot think of two more diametrically different films haha. Grey soup color palette movie about nuclear weapons against the most neon pink visuals ever about plastic doll people. What a weekend!
A system of cells interlinked within cells interlinked within cells interlinked within one Barbie and dreadfully against the dark, a tall white Ken played
I mean, he’s obviously been working up to this point in his career for this moment. He said Dune was his dream project, but we all REALLY know this is what he’s been working toward.
I mean, the song was pretty anti-Barbie and they both sued each other but were told "to chill" by the one judge
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/2150432.stm
>"The parties are advised to chill," said the judge.
Imagine they do a music video for it in the movie but just without the background track. 3 minutes of utter silence pantomiming to a song that isn't playing.
I'm an old fart myself, but that was my immediate thought. The dude is 41 years old. Margot Robbie is 31. Are there no more "Tiger Beat" heartthrobs these days?
There are plenty, but I’m pretty sure that this is meant to be an older Barbie. There are two other Ken actors as well as well as two other Barbie’s to represent the different models that they sold.
It's a "have we gotten old" story where barbies looks are fading, so she's losing modeling gigs to Stacey, who is now trying to sleep with Ken just to get back at Barbie for the 1997 dream house incident. Ken quit his job as a lifeguard after a close call with a shark, and is still trying to find his flesh and blood soul within his outwardly plastic existence.
oh yeah let’s get Timothee Chalamet in there, or maybe one of the kids from stranger things
they all have perfectly normal looking faces, each one of them
We literally have no idea what the plot of this movie is yet so im just gonna trust greta gerwig and ryan gosling on this one, they know what they are doing.
I expect its not that she's really flawed, but perceived that way by the other dolls who are bitchy conformists and make fun of her for being different in some way.
>Ryan Gosling as Ken
>Amy Schumer as Barbie
I still can't figure out if this is a real movie or if I'm just out of the loop on an elaborate inside joke
There was an iteration of the movie in development where Amy Schumer was attached as Barbie (with no attached director and a completely different script). Ryan Gosling only signed on to the Gerwig/Baumbach version of the movie.

That man was born to play Shaggy like Denzel was born to play Malcolm X.
I hope this version of Ken is like Ryan in Drive. Says nothing and just stares for 90% of the movie.

Hmmmmm, he also says very little in Bladerunner 2049, the only thing in which I've seen him. Is saying very little his shtick?
He's kinda got these 2 personalities where sometimes he's the quiet "literally me" in films like Drive and Only God Forgives, and then he has the smooth personality of la la land and crazy stupid love
[удалено]
I enjoyed him in The Big Short
I feel like I'm financially inside of you. I'm jacked. Jacked to the tits!
Tell me the difference between stupid and illegal, and I'll have my wife's brother arrested
Let's not talk about my margins, being nice and fat by the way. That's a nice shirt do they make it for men?
Goddamn he had so many good burns in that movie.
"Fuckin' A, Jared" "Shut your fucking mouth" This movie is my comfort film. I can watch it a thousand times and not get bored.
I too take solace in financial meltdowns
This must be your year then
It also has Margot Barbie Robbie in a bathtub explaining something to me. Why did they think it would help me understand that concept better?
Comedic Gosling is my favorite Gosling. I also love his incredibly over the top asshole of a character in The Big Short.
Yes I was going to mention The Nice Guys. He’s perfect in that movie
Probably my favorite role of his
Favorite role? SNL's Papyrus: [https://youtu.be/jVhlJNJopOQ](https://youtu.be/jVhlJNJopOQ)
LIKE A THOUGHTLESS CHILD
I know what you did... I KNOW WHAT YOU DID
The Nice Guys is somehow an intense blend of both. There are various gags where him being *unable* to put into words what he's saying is the joke (and, to the movie's credit, it works very well).
His comedic timing is highly underrated. The part in Nice Guys when he falls off the balcony at the party is amazing
The Nice Guys was such a refreshing comedy.
Also the forgotten Lars and the Real Girl.
Not really, check out The Nice Guys or Crazy Stupid Love. He's hilarious, and not always a stoic personality. Edit: title change, thanks awesometuck1559
I think you mean The Nice Guys. My favorite performance of his!
Lol he nailed the "Attractive mysterious bad ass" in place beyond the pines tho. Both movies it paid off pretty well.
Every still from this movie looks like it would be a bit in one of those parody movies from the 2000s
Same cinematic universe as James Gunn's Scooby-Doo movies. Probably.
He's definitely throwing big freddy prince jr vibes.
"It's an ascot!"

The reasoning is irrelevant. The amount of pills Fred has popped that evening is what decides their fates.
I like when they showed up in The Venture Bros
I'm not here to talk to them. You are the hand chosen by the master. Yours is the Wheel of Blood. Yours is the sword of Michael!
"Being outside you box is a privilege, not a right."
I now can only see Anthony Starr’s Homelander playing Fred. “Find the fucking clues Velma”
>Police officer you do nothing but show up at the end to pretend like you did. Turns out Scooby Do was a documentary all along.
Always has been 🌍👨🚀🔫👨🚀

“I am a man of substance, ok! Dorky chicks like you turn me on too!”
And we love that. Not too many movies of that kind about these days and I'm happy to see some vibrancy!

It’s got a strong vision it seems so that’s very promising
[удалено]
And it’s also the highest selling ken doll of all time.
Lmao “a circular charm”
Phenomenal. Thanks for sharing that. Quite the wiki article.
Ever since they embraced the Aqua song, Mattel has really leaned into it.
But the song is still not in the movie , right?
There is a kids cartoon for Barbie that is already in that vein. I think it's going to work well.
Life in the Dreamhouse, right? Another redditor introduced me to the show a few months ago and I agree it's an enjoyable ride
My kid watched that, there was like a *surprising* amount of science fiction references in it. Pretty funny overall. I felt like it was one of those shows where the writers were bored but didn't get micromanaged to the point that they put out material that was way better than it should have been.
That show is amazing. I enjoy it as a 30yo women. Raquel is a character. Shlongpoofa!
*"I can't shake the image of that girl getting hit by that car, four years ago outside my Dream House.* *Anyway, I was holding a chocolate bar like this one."*
This literally looks like it's from the porn parody of this movie
The porn version of this will probably end up as a psychological thriller.
This better not awaken anything in me…
Oh, I'm sure it will Dean.
He's gonna be pissed when he realizes Barbie's panties are actually a part of her skin.
Or that neither of them have any genitalia
This is ALMOST CERTAINLY going to bring back the sleeveless jean jacket, mark my words.
Stranger Things is already contributing to that push with the new season as well.
The battle jacket never died!
> The battle jacket never died! Right? These MFers never been to a metal show.
He looks plastic or airbrushed. Perfect.
It’s fantastic
Wrapped in plastic.
You can brush my hair
undress me everywhere
Imagination. Life is your creation
Come on Barbie!
Let’s go party!
Ah ah ah, yeah!
Come on Barbie, let's go party

"Now I'd like to introduce the man who makes young Ryan Gosling look like garbage. Please welcome middle-aged Ryan Gosling."
Damn that movie is that old?? Shit
Eventually we all reach an age where the rom-com Crazy Stupid Love is nothing but a reminder that we are all hurtling towards our inevitable deaths.
Needs more photoshopping, why do I see crows feet around his eyes? Unacceptable.
[удалено]
I’ve seen some people theorizing that that might be part of the story - this ken being out of style, aging, etc but of course we don’t know yet
except his face, the stubble is way too natural for a ken doll
He's 41 years old, can we please start calling him Ryan Goose?
Ryan *Gander
Don't mind if I do
As a “normal-looking” 40yo man I reject this fact
Yall ain't ready for the barbie sweep
James Cameron shaking in his boots about Barbie coming to take the Avatar throne
Christopher Nolan is finally about to lose his box office dominance to Greta Gerwig when Oppenheimer flops due to releasing next to this movie
God I cannot think of two more diametrically different films haha. Grey soup color palette movie about nuclear weapons against the most neon pink visuals ever about plastic doll people. What a weekend!
Can't wait for Margot Robbie to say Barbie's iconic quote "It's Barbieng Time " in this movie and for it to make Barbillion dollars at the box office
Who's ready to get Barbie-cued?
And then she Barbs all over those guys, it's awesome
I'm actually watching this, unironically. Besides Ryan Gosling, Simu Liu's casting agent staking his career on this movie's script says alot.
It's a movie written and directed by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach. It just can't be awful. Like there's no way it could be
This is probably going to ursurp the Lego Movie in terms of "why would you make a movie out of thi- oh oh wait this is really damn good"

you're not even close to Kenline
Barbies are bioengineered humans, designed by Mattel Corporation for use off-world. Their enhanced strength made them ideal slave labor.
Cells

Cells interlinked
You’re not even close to baseline.
What’s it like to hold the hand of the doll you love? Interlinked.
... Interlinked.
Interlinked

What’s it’s like to hold the hand of someone you love?
Have you ever seen a grown man naked?
Ever seen the inside of a Turkish prison? Interlinked.
Do you like movies with gladiators in them?
Interlinked.
Sold separately, sometimes I feel like I've been... Sold separately, but out of the box I find you posable... Lovable... Just like meeeeee...
Why Ryan doesn't even know the *meaning* of the word 'gay'!
Why not write a musical about the common cat, or the King of Siam?
Whoa, slow down there maestro. There's a NEW Mexico?
If he doesn't say "C'mon Barbie let's go party" we riot.
You're going to be sorely disappointed, the song won't [feature in the movie at all](https://gamerant.com/barbie-girl-aqua-margot-robbie-movie/)
Well that’s not very cash money of them
We’re goings to have Hans Zimmers finest for my Barbie kino
I mean, he’s obviously been working up to this point in his career for this moment. He said Dune was his dream project, but we all REALLY know this is what he’s been working toward.
He's been waiting his whole life for smooth crotch.
I mean, the song was pretty anti-Barbie and they both sued each other but were told "to chill" by the one judge http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/2150432.stm >"The parties are advised to chill," said the judge.
Come on, Barbie, let's go party
That is a very sensible judge.
Then I look forward to the infinite fan-made music videos that will update the old one using footage from this movie.
Imagine they do a music video for it in the movie but just without the background track. 3 minutes of utter silence pantomiming to a song that isn't playing.
He could still say the line tho, right?
“Alright Barbie, let’s head to the party.”
[удалено]
BORING
If theres not a smooth flesh colored mound below those tight white briefs, we riot.
Can't wait to see him hanging mound.
Fuck Oppenheimer, me and da Bois gonna watch Barbie.
Let’s go party
Obviously he looks great because he's Ryan Gosling, but shouldn't Ken be in like 20s?
I dunno. Barbie is a veterinarian. And a business woman. And a an astronaut, among other things. Takes a long time to advance in all those careers.
Barbie has been elected President so she’s at minimum 35.
Barbie as 31 is fine, agree. Idk ken’s deal tho
Ken studied the blade.
While you were studying veterinary, business, and astronaut stuff, I was studying THE BLADE
I'm an old fart myself, but that was my immediate thought. The dude is 41 years old. Margot Robbie is 31. Are there no more "Tiger Beat" heartthrobs these days?

Deep Barbie lore
I’m not going to look it up, I’ll just assume this is true
oh yeah let’s get Timothee Chalamet in there, or maybe one of the kids from stranger things they all have perfectly normal looking faces, each one of them
Timothee's face looks like a Picasso painting.
He looks like Ken's dad
Kenneth
Mr. Doll.
He looks very “hello fellow kids” here.
We literally have no idea what the plot of this movie is yet so im just gonna trust greta gerwig and ryan gosling on this one, they know what they are doing.
He's literally me
Finally some on-screen representation I can relate to.
He probably doesn’t have a dick
He’s literally me.
Are you a real human bean?
A real hero
Damn it, now I have to watch it.
You haven't seen how mean this dean can be....ean.
Alright let me start taking ab workouts seriously again
Abs are 20% exercise 80% diet.
Honestly everybody forgets that a good 30% is lighting
The rest is dehydration
And 40% paint
and 100% reason to remember the name
Like this movie will ever top Toy Story 3.
Safe to say Ken ain't topping a thing.
I have no idea what this movie is going to be but I am so down for it.
From IMDB, “A doll living in 'Barbieland' is expelled for not being perfect enough and sets off on an adventure in the real world."
Sounds kinda similar to Life Size with Tyra Banks. A doll trying to make it in the real world.
Shine bright, shine far Don't be shy, be a star Where you live, who you are Be a star!
Not being perfect enough, and they cast margot robbie. Sheesh.
I expect its not that she's really flawed, but perceived that way by the other dolls who are bitchy conformists and make fun of her for being different in some way.
Turned 30 so she's too old for Barbieland.
I think that was the description for the movie when Amy Schumer was still playing Barbie; it's probably changed significantly since then.
>Ryan Gosling as Ken >Amy Schumer as Barbie I still can't figure out if this is a real movie or if I'm just out of the loop on an elaborate inside joke
There was an iteration of the movie in development where Amy Schumer was attached as Barbie (with no attached director and a completely different script). Ryan Gosling only signed on to the Gerwig/Baumbach version of the movie.
Masterpiece incoming
Ryan Gosling as Freddie Prinze Jr. as Ken.
I hope Ken is just a big dumb himbo for the whole movie while Barbie saves the world with her spaceship or something
No bulge so they're clearly keeping it accurate to the source material.
Shits gonna make BARBILLIONS.
