‘Oppenheimer’ Bagged Extra $5 Million From Sold-Out ‘Barbie’ Shows

Barbie movie, which is directed by Greta Gerwig and stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, is partly set in the fictional wonderland filled with plastic palm trees and bright pink houses.In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Tyson observed the film’s sun, moon, and vegetation in order to determine where such a place would be if it really existed on Earth.“In @BarbietheMovie, the moon’s orientation places Barbie World between 20 and 40 [degrees] north latitude on the Earth,” deGrasse Tyson wrote.

But when a film promotes behaviour the state considers unacceptable, it is banned outright.The film “promulgate[s] ideas and beliefs that are alien to Kuwaiti society and public order”, a spokesman for the Kuwaiti Ministry of Information said (via BBC News).On Wednesday, the Lebanese Culture Minister Mohammad Mortada asked the interior ministry to “take all necessary measures to ban” Barbie.He said the film “promotes homosexuality and transsexuality… supports rejecting a father’s guardianship, undermines and ridicules the role of the mother, and questions the necessity of marriage and having a family”.Meanwhile, in the US, comedian and actor Marc Maron recently hit out at the film’s conservative critics, describing them as “insecure babies”.“The fact that certain men took offence to the point where they, you know, tried to build a grift around it in terms of their narrative as right wing [expletive] is so embarrassing for them.
