Goldenboy, in Seems we've already got the plot for Barbie II

A woman goes out to discover herself and the world, in a movie so colorful, I constantly smiled in my seat. A man on her side that struggles with his masculinity. A parental figure that is only there for the lead to discover how far she came. A family to be part of in the end.

Poor things makes Barbies pink pale. In every aspect. Emma Stone stands without competition this year.

What about America Ferrera? She matters as much as Margot Robbie and got an Oscar nomination for her role in the film.

jivandabeast,

This, its not a snub. Barbie got a nomination for both actor and actress in the supporting categories.

There’s nothing to watch on Netflix anymore. Tired of scrolling through the same old movies.

Honestly, it doesn’t make sense for any of them to get a nom. The film was good, it was enjoyable, but it wasn’t an Oscar film. It wasn’t Gerwig’s best work and it wasn’t Robbie’s best performance. Despite Gosling being one of the best parts of the movie, the pickings for best supporting must have been slim for that to get him a nom for that role.

I was really dissapointed to see no Mojo Dojo Casa in shops this last Christmas. It would have been a killer.

I mean I always knew that Oscars were mostly about hype and not actual artistic value but getting offended that the most hyped movie of the year didn’t get all the nominations is just weird. Mattel run multi-million, non traditional marketing campaign and got a lot of people exited about the movie. It doesn’t say anything about the acting or directing in it.

Maybe he’s a better actor.

I’m surprised that Margot Robbie gag account on lemmy hasn’t rung in on this post. Or are they back to obsessing about android phones again? WAKE UP, BOT!

Klear,

Haven’t seen them anywhere in a long while.

Nah I saw them just the other day, they’re around.

Klear,

Good to hear.

rickyrigatoni,

What do you mean gag account that’s actually her.

Smoogs,

I crave pasta all of a sudden

fosho,

ummm…source?

rickyrigatoni,

it has her name right there

sukhmel,

Maybe they are just too sad to comment yet 😭

MargotRobbie,

It’s just weird people here expected me to joke about this.

You do realize that the strike’s been over for a few months and I have work I need to get done now, right?

An esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress? Work? Impossble! They are special, they dont work! /s

Jesus fucking christ these comments.

Why is he claiming that Gerwig got no nomination? Is he stupid?

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Best Picture goes to the person as a Producer, not a Director.

So, yeah, if it wins, she’ll be on stage for producing the film, but not directing it.

Syntha,

She’s also nominated for best screenplay and Barbie really doesn’t deserve an Oscar for the directing anyways

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

I dunno, the musical numbers and the giant beach battle look to have been pretty challenging from a directing perspective.

Syntha,

I’m not saying it’s badly directed but in comparison to Poor Things, Killers of the Flower Moon and Anatomy of a Fall it’s lacking. And I thought it was better than Oppenheimer, but not for the directing.

gmtom, in Seems we've already got the plot for Barbie II

As someone that never saw the movie. All the clips, gifs and memes people make about it are the Ken scenes. Nobody talks about barbie presumably because her character and performance were good, but just kinda safe, middle of the road stuff.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

You’re not the boss of me, now

lorty,

Maybe you just hang out on male spaces and men generally find Ken jokes funnier?

kilgore_trout,

Yes.

S_H_K, (edited )

I saw a few memes from her but her acting wasn’t middle of the road by any means. She had to do the more dramatic parts and Ryan did almost all the comedy. And we all know comedy does give more material for memeing.

Also I noticed her memes were showing in my wife’s feed so I assume there’s some echo chamber effect going on.

gmtom,

Very good point I didn’t consider

TrickDacy,

No

ghen,

Maybe

MurphysPaw,

Can you repeat the question?

snake_case_guy,

I don’t know

People without friends or family with a jellyfin server need their escape from this shit capitalism. Looks like they are willing to pay a little more. Wonder how long that will last.

asteriskeverything, in Seems we've already got the plot for Barbie II

Men getting credit for women’s accomplishments is the plot of barbie? I thought it was about how expectations and rules for gender identity and roles hurts everyone. That then expands on how women specifically feel a unique pressure to be an impossible ideal of everything all at once.

reddig33,

Why not both?

electrogamerman,

No, the plot is barbie not getting an oscar nomination while Ken did

I liked “Leave the World Behind”. It felt like an art movie and I’m always impressed by movies that show how confusing and frustrating it is to be in a crisis situation

bigkahuna1986, in Netflix Packs on More Than 13 Million Subscribers in Q4, Well Above Expectations

Netflix was greatly rewarded for enshittification, so I expect they’ll only get worse and other companies with follow suit.

Hopefully some of the other streaming services die and there will be some consolidation.

Fandangalo,

That’s just going back to cable. 🙃

mundane,

When I see the word cable, my mind goes to linear tv. A consolidated streaming service would be vastly superior to the consolidated linear tv packages of old cable.

Fandangalo,

It’s a fair point. I was talking moreso about just generalized bundling. I think both are accurate.
