[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one here who thinks people on this thread have gotten weirdly tribal about Barbie? There's a major mass-marketing push for this film, yes... but if it fails to inspire us to embrace Barbie, we're out of the circle of trust?

One of the few things I worry about more than unrealistic body standards for women is groupthink. I really hate groupthink. Why do so many of you NEED us to change our minds about Barbie. Because the movie and its marketing tell us we should?[/quote]

It's the social media era, PP. People tend to become unnecessarily tribal and aggressive on the internet.

No need to change your views. I loathe Barbie, the toy, but fully intend to enjoy Barbie, the movie. :-)

Well thanks. The sociological question is interesting and I wish we could have a good-faith chat about it without the weird aggression toward posters who disagree.

I might eventually stream the movie if DH and I can't agree on anything else, but this won't be a theater film for me. [/quote]

I saw the movie last night and I think it’s only enjoyable watching it as a group in a theater. People are wearing pink, some are really dressing up. It’s fun to laugh together.

[b]I bet the movie will seem dumb streamed at home. [/b]

The sets and costumes on the big screen were amazing! [/quote] Some of us don’t need to be at home to figure this out.[/quote]
