I'm guessing Gerwig will get funding for her Narnia films now. :thumbs-up-smiley: https://variety.com/2023/film/box-office/barbie-global-box-office-record-oppenheimer-results-1235695070/

So much for the idea that female-lead movies can't be mega-hits (well, Captain Marvel already proved that, but...)

Weeeelllllll......I dunno if I can buy that. I have my snobbish Kiewslowski/Tarkovsky/Renoir/Ozu side, and I embrace that proudly. But I also have my Independence Day/Moonfall/Pacific Rim/horse operas side, and I embrace that as well.

Never mind. Man beat me to it.

Interesting that you should say that. I came across this on my newsfeed: https://www.themarysue.com/the-most-impressive-feat-in-the-barbie-trailer-is-barbies-feet/

I could very well be wrong about this, but I have my doubts that any of the 2001 parody shots in the trailer will be in the film itself. If anything, that's what makes this trailer so wonderful. It makes me nostalgic for the days when people knew how to make trailers that were their own thing...

I confess that since I first heard of a Major Motion Picture being made about Barbie, and that Margot Robbie had the title role, my eyes rolled, and my inner voice said, "Yeah. No." When I discovered that Greta Gerwig and Noam Baumbach were behind it, my interest went up. I can't say that I'll...
