the new “Barbie” film that he described simply as a “fun movie” about “dolls who come to life.” “A lot of people are upset about the Barbie movie, and I left perplexed,” Rogan said to his guest, Post Malone, describing it as merely a “fun, silly movie about dolls who come to life.”“But a lot of it is about the patriarchy, and it’s a comedy, it’s a comedy about dolls,” he said. “People are upset that it’s this progressive metaphor for life that they’re pushing progressive politics in this, and I’m like, ‘It’s a f—— doll movie!’ It’s a doll movie.
It’s a fun movie about dolls who come to life and try to interact with the real world,” he argued.“No one’s ever done a movie like this before. This is not like anything else you could say.
It was a bizarre movie, but it was a fun, silly movie, I laughed,” he said. “But at the end of it I was like, ‘How did people get outraged at that?’ I know some people personally who said it’s anti-men.
I’m like, ‘No, it’s making fun of dorks.’”Rogan balked at the idea of some people getting offended on behalf of some male characters in the film and saw them as representing men as a group, “Are we going to do this thing where we put all men as men, it’s one category, we’re not going to judge people as individuals?”He argued further that the dichotomy between Barbies and their Ken counterparts is simply a reflection of how people bought the toys in reality.“They think it’s a super woke movie,” he said. “But it’s also a movie about how Barbies are the dolls that everyone cares about, and Ken is just a f—— accessory, which is real.

movie was chock-full of Barbies and Kens — and even a Skipper, an Allan, and a Midge! However, one cameo fans may not have been expecting came during a climactic chase scene when Margot Robbie's Stereotypical Barbie is trying to escape Mattel headquarters.Barbie stumbles upon an odd room somewhere in the bowels of the office building, and finds a woman, played by actress Rhea Perlman, seated at a table in a nostalgic-looking kitchen set. The pair share some words and the mysterious woman aids in Barbie's escape — only to turn up at the end of the movie to help Barbie complete her journey into the Real World as a human being.The woman Perlman is playing isn't a random character, however.

Greta Gerwig’s bubblegum fever dream “Barbie” gave clever nod to ill-fated Barbie Land dolls — such as pregnant Midge, Ken’s BFF Allan, Tanner the pooping pup and Growing Up Skipper, to name a few.“I think I got most of them in there,” Gerwig, 39, told IndieWire of brushing off the decades of dust on the misfit toys for the new summer flick.“There’s like a million of them.”Among the many popular iterations of Barbie over the last 64 years, these unfortunate few fell flat.The “weird,” as “Barbie” narrator Helen Mirren says, concept of the pregnant figurine was born into Mattel lore in 2002.Midge — whose full name is Margaret Hadley Sherwood in the Barbieverse — was originally billed as Barbie’s best friend, but was meant to be the “ugly sidekick” to Barbie’s “dream girl” persona, M.G. Lord, the author of “Forever Barbie: The Unauthorized Biography of a Real Doll,” told Buzzfeed News.When Midge, played by Emerald Fennell in the summer blockbuster, was launched in 1963, the redhead could fit in all of her bestie’s outfits.But that ended when she was re-released with her magnetic bump that revealed an infant inside — nevermind the anatomical logistics.
While many are questioning the sexual identity of Ken in the new “Barbie” movie, there’s one studly disco-era male doll whose sexual identity has never been in doubt, a very gay male doll name Gay Bob. The Gay Bob doll came out of his closet in 1977 much to the displeasure of the right-wing culture warriors of the time, not just because Bob was out and proud but also because he came with a penis.

Barbie fans love more about the hottest movie of the year – aside from the pink, the cast, the vibes, and the pink – than spotting its hidden references and subtle Easter eggs sprinkled throughout.Fans have been poring over every pink detail of the highly-anticipated Greta Gerwig flick since the first trailer dropped, going into a hot pink frenzy with every “genius” tid bit uncovered.But since the film’s record-breaking release weekend, once Barbies and Kens had a chance to take in Barbieland’s full pastel glory, theories are swirling about the more subtle pop culture nods.One particular theory speculates that the film features a subtle cameo by Barbie’s biggest rival: the Bratz dolls.Fans have taken to social media to unpack their theory, honing in on the scene where Barbie (Margot Robbie) travels to the real world and goes to a high school while searching for the girl she believes is responsible for her existential crisis.At the school, she comes across a teenager named Sasha (Ariana Greenblatt) and her three friends who give the cowgirl-dressed Barbie a brutal reality check about her problematic history in the real world.“We haven’t played with Barbie since we were, like, five years old,” Sasha tells Barbie.“You’ve been making women feel bad about themselves since you were invented.”One TikTok user, Ivan Mars, posted a video saying it took him three trips to the cinema to realize the group of teens bear an eerie resemblance to the original four Bratz dolls named Yasmin, Sasha, Cloe, and Jade.And though the three friends – played by McKenna Roberts, Sasha Milstein, and Brylee Hsu – being unnamed “Junior High Friend” characters, their apparent ringleader Sasha shares not only a name, but a nickname with one of Barbie’s
Barbie movie.The broadcaster recently shared his thoughts on his TalkTV show Piers Morgan Uncensored, and in an op-ed for the New York Post.In the former, he shared a tweet stating: “I thought feminism was about equality…Why does empowering women have to be about trashing men?” along with clips from the show featuring his thoughts.In his op-ed in the latter, he added: “If I made a movie mocking women as useless dunderheads, constantly attacking ‘the matriarchy’, and depicting all things feminist as toxic bullshit, I wouldn’t just be canceled, I’d be executed.”"I thought feminism was about equality…"Why does empowering women have to be about trashing men?"Piers Morgan questions the Barbie movie's 'anti-patriarchy' message.@piersmorgan | @TalkTV | #PMU pic.twitter.com/Z66NlbjNYp— Piers Morgan Uncensored (@PiersUncensored) July 24, 2023.@piersmorgan: If I made a movie that treated women the way Barbie treats men, feminists would want me executed https://t.co/arlrTRyK91 pic.twitter.com/6jCInWDUUw— New York Post (@nypost) July 24, 2023Morgan continued: “Head Barbie rides to the rescue by seizing back control and driving the hapless Kens back to being subservient saps to the women again. To which my response is: Why? I thought the whole point of feminism is that women wanted equality with men, not a complete reversal of the perceived unequal social power structure.“I don’t know any woman, other than perhaps US female soccer superstar Megan Rapinoe, who wants a world where women dominate absolutely everything – and men are reduced to dim-witted doormats barely capable of changing a light bulb.”His comments drew criticism on Twitter with one user writing: “Lol.
Whoopi Goldberg is taking her love to the next level. The host of ABC's showed off her quirky footwear on Tuesday's broadcast, wearing white boots with a clear platform heel that was filled with decapitated Barbie doll heads.The style statement came as Goldberg, 67, was engaged in discussion about recent criticism of Greta Gerwig's blockbuster film, defending the movie against judgment from conservative columnist Ben Shapiro and Senator Ted Cruz.«It’s a movie!» she declared on the show. «It’s a movie about a doll!»She continued, «I thought y'all would be happy.
To say Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” is a hit is a gross understatement. Not only did the film wow critics, with a great 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, but the comedy has connected with the general public in a massive way, earning a huge $162 million in its first three days.
Whoopi Goldberg has hit back at criticism of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie from conservative commentators like Ted Cruz and Ben Shapiro.On Tuesday’s (July 25) episode of US chat show The View, a reel of various right-wing commentators criticising the film was shown. Among the clips was Texas senator Cruz, who described it as “Chinese communist propaganda” due to its depiction of a disputed region in the South China Sea (via Business Insider).Shapiro, meanwhile, branded it “one of the worst movies I have ever seen” and “angry, feminist claptrap that alienates men from women” in his YouTube review.In response to their comments, Goldberg said: “It’s a movie! It’s a movie about a doll!“I thought y’all would be happy. She has no genitalia, so there’s no sex involved.

plot forward in “Barbie” — and Rob Thomas loves it.Matchbox Twenty’s frontman weighed in on the inclusion of 1996’s “Push” in the new “Barbie” movie — admitting he was worried at first about it being a joke, but has since recognized it’s a clever callout.Ken (Ryan Gosling) plays the track for hours on end on his guitar for Barbie (Margot Robbie) while sitting around a campfire.The scene (and song) is a pivotal point in the film, pushing an ego-bruised Ken to embrace toxic masculinity and take over Barbie Land — which Thomas praised as a perfect choice.“I want to preface this by saying that I thought it was hilarious. But in ‘Bring It On,’ [Kirsten Dunst’s character] has this douchey boyfriend.
movie is, of course, full of Barbies and Kens, but Greta Gerwig's vibrant and detailed Barbie Land also includes plenty of Easter eggs for only the most devoted fans, including accessories, outfits and some of the all-but-forgotten dolls that Mattel has discontinued over the years. Margot Robbie's Stereotypical Barbie is introduced to some of the less-popular members of the Barbie doll canon when her existential crisis has her returning to Weird Barbie's (Kate McKinnon) house, lamenting the way her fellow beautiful Barbies have been brainwashed into complacency by the Kens.
Matchbox Twenty frontman Rob Thomas is sharing his thoughts on the iconic moment when Ryan Gosling covers the band's 1996 hit track, «Push.»Performed by Gosling (Ken), the stellar scene features Gosling sitting around a campfire and strumming his guitar as he sings the song at Margot Robbie (Barbie) for hours on end.The hilarious scene marks a turning point in the film, as Barbie and her fellow dolls attempt to distract the Kens and take back Barbieland. After a visit to the real world, Gosling's Ken transformed the land into «Kendom,» a patriarchal world filled with all the things he thinks make a man — horses, sports, Sylvester Stallone style and very much included. Speaking about the song's use in the film, Thomas told he was initially worried that the rock group might become the butt of a joke.
throughout the screening of the hotly-anticipated film has gone viral. The clip, posted Monday by TikTok user Sophia Ferreira, shows a pink-dressed fan angrily accosting the offending mom as closing credits roll. Things begin to escalate when the woman shoves her accuser into the seats — and promptly falls down.After springing back into action, she then attacks the other lady with a shoe — until two men manage to separate the worked-up women and one is escorted away.
