I’m waiting for the “Barbie for President” bumper stickers to come out.

And I thought making movies about comic book heroes was inane! Mindlessness has plumbed new depths!

It made money probably more for the brand strength than the quality of the film. Wouldn’t assume there’s appetite for a sequel.

Feminists with sons can take them to see the Barbie movies so they will grow up to be Barbie and not Ken.

Paraphrased from H. L. Mencken: “No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”

There’s a whole contingent of FReepers that just can’t wait to vote for an undeserving female and undeserving negro.

Women shouldn’t be allowed to vote, let alone hold office.

More sequels of movies based on toys. And they say creativity in Hollywood is dead.

I was confused by an ad I saw on TV yesterday. It depicted “Flo” and her buddies from the “Progressive” insurance ads in a pink setting, making puns and comments about the Barbie movie. But then at the end, it cut to the Barbie movie logo, not the Progressive logo. I couldn’t tell if it was a Progressive ad or a Barbie movie ad.

Interesting comment.

Are you sarcastic?

Freepers want to vote for deserving women and members of minority groups. Not undeserving liberal types. We want conservatives regardless of sex or ethnicity.

Just based on how popular the movie is, I expect sequels to be made, as they turn Barbie into a franchise.

I don’t know anything about the story or any of that. Just based on the money, a sequel seems inevitable.

I am not being sarcastic.

Boebert, MTG, and Donalds are all undeserving of position, especially higher positions.

There are others like Scott who had their pimps here.

They could make a great action movie ...Barbie gets her ass kicked by GI Joe and Major Matt Mason
