Amy Schumer Barbie Movie Salt - They didn't learn their lesson after Ghostbusters.

[Intelligent Calcium]

Nobody's gonna buy a fat Barbie, Sony.

Get one for the price of two.

I can't help but wonder what the target audience for this movie is supposed to be. Women who played with Barbies and saw the older movies won't like it for bastardizing their childhood memories, any sane parent wouldn't let their little girl watch something with Amy "Industry Bicycle" Schumer in it, and neither men nor little boys will care because Barbies neither have guns nor are they Dinosaurs.

I could at least kinda see what they were going for with GB2016, but this just baffles me.

Everyone is whining about "muh feminism", "muh soggy knees", "muh fat acceptance", and I'm just sitting here thinking that this movie would still be terrible even if they hadn't cast Schumer. There's just no way in hell a live-action movie based on a doll line will not be shit.

Remember the Bratz movie?

I predict we'll get something very similar. Brace yourselves.

It's even worse. It's a live action movie where the character goes to "the real world". It's about a lazy a premise as you can get.

I can't help but wonder what the target audience for this movie is supposed to be. Women who liked playing with their Barbies won't like it for bastardizing their childhood memories for a buck, any sane parent wouldn't let their little girl watch something with Amy "Industry Bicycle" Schumer in it, and neither men nor little boys will care because Barbies don't have guns and aren't dinosaurs.

Probably angry fat men based on all these reactions.

You underestimate the level of bullshit some parents will put their kids through.

 

[Krispum Western Chumbler]

Like for real these men are not men at all for being this up in arms about a girls toy movie.

whats up with that?

 

[Chan the Wizard]

Wasn't Amy Schumer's last movie so bad that an audience member started killing people to escape?

You underestimate the level of bullshit some parents will put their kids through.

Hence why I clarified sane parent.

God this pisses me off so much I don't know how I'll be able to sleep tonight! I was really looking forward to a live action Barbie movie but learning that Amy "fat ass" Schumer is in it has ruined my day! This is bullshit!

I guess his head and neck deflates, if he wears a t-shirt with a wider collar.

 

[Munchingonfish]

What could they honestly do besides make basement jokes

Ever watch a horror movie where in the beginning they say it's based on a true story?

In case anyone is curious, here's a list of all the CGI Barbie films. There were also two traditionally animated TV movies in the 80s called Barbie and the Rockers: Out of This World and Barbie and the Sensations: Rockin' Back to Earth, both of which sound a hundred times more entertaining than whatever the hell Schumer will be doing. I saw a couple of the CGI movies thanks to my baby sister and she adored them. Kids already have all the Barbie that they need. I can't imagine a little kid begging their parents to see this film when they've already got Barbie being best friends with a purple dragon on DVD.

Barbie and the Rockers was Mattels attempt at getting in on the Jem and the Holograms action... uh... how do I know that?

Controversy = Butts in seats

Seriously, when salt lords stir up an autistic internet thunderdome, Amy Schumer and Sony are laughing their asses off all the way to the bank.

 

[JU 199]

Yeah I can see Sony is running with whole feminism marketing angle again but its not ghostbusters its barbie. No self respecting adult (let alone a man) should care enough to get angry about this, pro and anti.

You and me both bro. When I first heard about this I was like FUCK YEAH! I called up the boys and cranked up the Thin Lizzie to let them know the good news. Dave-o and Trevor and I were all set to get advance screening tickets, and then today they dropped this bombshell. Amy Shumer? WHAT THE FUCK SONY? She's not fuckable in the slightest! Do you think I would have watched Barbie and the magic of pegasus if Barbie wasn't smokin hot? Well that's it, I guess this is one Barbie movie I will not be seeing. Congratulations Sony, you just lost a sale.

You think people will care? When I heard about it, I was all "huh.... well thats 2016 for ya". Knowing the media though, I'll prolly see a 2 hour special on the 10 worst youtube comments from the trailer.

 

[JU 199]

Amy schumer is hot and I wish she would have sex with me

ftfy

You're a Barbie collector?

 

[QB 290]

Amy Schumer, a comedian famous for making weird, creepy, unfunny jokes like once having non-consensual anal sex with a French guy.
And they want her to play a shit Barbie for a feminist propaganda film.

 

[friedshrimp]

i don't see to whom is this film targeted at. i mean, little girls won't watch it bc their parents wouldn't want them exposed to vagina jokes and they already have their dolls and movies on video/tv, and no conscious adult would go watch a barbie movie.

so will this just appeal to the legbeard/neckbeard/HAES crowd?
