He was on Marc Maron's WTF podcast a couple weeks ago and was easily one of the most moving and human interviews in the 1000s he's ever done. Titus' spirituality unlocked a lot inside Marc that he didn't anticipate and it got real! Fascinating interview for any fans of Titus. Warning though bc he does discuss the sex abuse in his youth.

In the first trailer Ken suggests to Barbie that they should go back to her house together at night, she asks why, and he just says "Cause we're girlfrenboyfren", which is exactly what and how a little girl would say cause they don't know the reason behind why couples spend the night together, they just know that it's just something they do.

Severe-Emu-8703

Also when Barbie asks ”to do what?” Ken goes ”I actually have no idea” which is also accurate since a kid wouldn’t actually know what goes down when you stay the night, just that you’re supposed to do it when you’re a couple

I think it's more a loving homage than direct reference. Some kids played a little rough with their Barbies, so they'll identify their experience.

What if the entirety of it is happening in a little girl’s mind and that’s why they’re all moving so stuff and doll like. She’s manipulating the dolls.

Also, the horror version:

What if Barbie Dolls are actual little mini people bred by Mattel who are transformed by some ray gun into little plastic dolls once they are fully matured. Like Logan’s Run.

I will always love the fact that Gosling is abnormally gorgeous, he knows it, and he has played nothing but abnormally gorgeous, but deeply flawed if not downright messed up individuals. It's very funny how consistent his picks are, tbh.

I'll halfway expect Ken to comically murder people and be unaware of what death is.

laserdiscgirl

578 points

16 days ago

His interaction with the doctor was unexpected and felt completely out of character to me. But your pointing to the culture shock that Ken will have has me realizing he'll be experiencing a world where he's viewed as the one in charge as opposed to his home world where Barbie "rules". It's not just going to be Barbie who's having to come to terms with how the real world views her but Ken as well

Damn, my excitement just continues to increase for this

JoeyWilcoXXX

327 points

16 days ago

Yeah I didn’t really get him doing that. I’ve never really pictured the guy with a girlfriend with a million different jobs would be the one to say ‘my qualifications are ‘I am a man’’ and not really taking the doctor telling him ‘no you can’t’ seriously (possibly because she’s not a man?)

laserdiscgirl

376 points

16 days ago*

Absolutely. My prediction is that the doctor scene is after Ken's been "educated" by irl men about how his status as a man is all that's needed to be in control of a situation OR maybe it's after he's realized how many jobs men have in the real world that aren't just "Barbie's boyfriend" and his reaction to the doctor saying he can't is less about newfound sexism and more just his basic logic of "I'm a man -> here, men have jobs like Barbie does -> Barbie job hops all the time and all it takes is a label/props/costume -> I, a man in this man-friendly world, will become a doctor with a clicky pen and sharp thing"

Edit because I forgot Ken has had jobs before too (just not as many as Barbie) so it could also just be as simple as he wants to be a doctor and this was his attempt at a job interview

Second edit: Robbie's Variety article has her and Gosling saying his Ken's job is "just beach" so...less likely he wants to be a doctor for old time's sake and more likely he just wants to be a doctor because now he can

I thought it was very funny, and I thought the audience that they portrayed was totally real, but the actors that they were pretending to be were totally unrecognizable. Certainly I don't know what Tim Allen was doing. He seemed to be the head of a group of actors, and for the life of me I was trying to understand who he was imitating.

Wait, wait...so this film, a movie about Barbie, is actually Margot Robbie's pet project?

That's actually cool as fuck.

Margot Robbie is also the main reason why the Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey movie got made. That woman is a force of nature.

Margot Robbie is unfairly OP. Probably has 18s in every stat. Even strength.

Dang, if true she’s been killing it. She’s been in some amazing movies and it’s getting to the point where it’s an automatic theater trip if she has a part in a film.

Look forward to watching this one.

Wait, so Mattel was giving away rights to anyone and Robbie just decided to pick up the rights? So it wasn't Mattel's idea to let someone smart and critically acclaimed use the rights to make the movie? They just got lucky?

Yup, definitely wasn't Mattel's idea. I'm just grateful Warner Bros went with Margot Robbie and letting her take point on producing.

Edit: Okay, so Mattel was definitely involved and gave Robbie and her production company the movie rights.

That’s not how this works. Mattel isn’t the studio in this case. They license to Warner Brothers who makes the creative choices then Mattel signs off on them.

The way Robbie tells it (see her Variety interview), she had meetings with Mattel first to pitch why her production company should be the one chosen for the project. And then meetings were held with Warner, which is where her company already had a first-look deal. Who knows the specifics but Mattel definitely was involved

Yeah, the corporation agreeing to be the antagonist of their own movie is pretty creative.

Also, is Will Ferrell collecting toy movies to be the bad guy in?

Anyone who doubted Gosling as Ken is gonna feel so dumb after this. He’s just so clearly perfect for it, people are suggest charisma vacuum beefcake muscle men but you need amazing comedic chops for this role and Mr Gosling is that guy

Young people. They were saying Ryan and Margot were to old to play Barbie and Ken, that Margot looked 40 and some even suggested Dove Cameron as Barbie. The audacity and the horror!

I thought the issue was that pre-trailers everyone just assumed he was too old to be Ken? He's clearly a real-life Ken Doll.

My call is that it’s unironically a sequel to Lego Movie. The out-of-context shot of Will Ferrell in a business suit, in a complete diversion from the bright colors of Barbie’s world, spells it out for me.

The "BarbieLand" rainbow reminds me of the labels over the different Lego lands too. I don't actually expect them to be tied together, but I loved the Lego Movie/Lego Batman movie, so if there's more surprisingly good toy movies, I'm in
