Every Film I Watch In 2023:

205. Toy Story 3 (2010) -- obvs a rewatch

I don't usually post art here but this Barbie Movie poster was making the rounds and my first thought was how into it Vala would be and the thought would not leave my head until I made this

I do think a lot of the exploration of "what it means to be a woman" in Barbie was very heteronormative focused. Which like...didn't bother me much but it did mean that America's big speech made me check out a bit because it didn't resonate. It mostly reminded me of all of the "being a woman is suffering" straight feminism I see that always makes me be like huh...can't relate so while she was going on I was just like...man in all honesty being a straight woman seems like it suuucckksss glad I don't have all That. Glad it resonated with other people.

after having seen barbie, everytime i watch heartstopper (which has been at least 10 times. don't judge me) and tao says "secret guy you kiss sometimes on the down-low" it always makes me think of "long-term long-distance low-commitment casual girlfriend"

Spoilers for Barbie ahead, I guess. But who in the writer’s room looked at that plot line and thought, “Yes. Feminism.” ??

The citizens of Barbie Land spend the entire movie fighting for privilege, not any sort of freedom (I borrowed that quote from the interview with Alok on the Man Enough Podcast 10/10 recommend). Over half the movie is about how awful it is to be a woman in the real world, and then they literally treat the Kens the way women are treated in the real world. That’s canon. The narrator says it Herself.

We never learn where the Kens live. For all we know, when the precious status quo was restored at the end, they just made half the population of Barbie Land homeless.

Yay, girl power.

y'know, I'm about 1098475093740 years late to making the post where I grouse about it but I really have to say. you know those barbie & ken in prison memes?

why oh why do people always draw the ken looking straight at the camera and smiling smugly like "you think iron bars can stop me? ha!"??

the thing that makes the meme so good at its source is that the original Ken has no fucking idea what's going on. far as he's concerned he might as well just be doing a fun photobooth with his girlfriend even though people are being weirdly pushy about it. Barbie is the one who looks anxious and indignated not because she's the one who's not Above It All, but because she's the one who can tell that whatever's happenning to her right now isn't so whimsical -- at least, not without Ken's attitude, anyway.

"one of them is Dangerous, the other is Conventional" is just kind of yawn, seen it a million times -- whereas "one of them can tell what's wrong with this situation and the other is just unbreakably over the moon at all times" is what makes the meme worth memeing as far as I'm concerned

angry at the oscars barbie nominations but in an annoyinger way (i think nominating ryan reynolds makes sense but the best picture and best supporting actress noms are ridiculous)

i find it really funny that allan and midge - canonically married in barbie lore, there was a wedding set and everything - are both in the barbie movie yet have nothing to do with each other and are reflective of completely different eras of barbie (early 60s and early 2000s, respectively)

crazy to me that m3gan is higher on rotten tomatoes than barbie. i guess some probably had it out for barbie from the start (and its far from a perfect movie), but as far as feminine, doll-based satire goes, m3gan is so blunt and basic and really not as good as i was hoping.

BREAKING NEWS: two high ranking officers of the notorious terrorist group "Rebellion" are currently in custody after a protracted firefight. the altercation began when Unity Order officers attempted to repossess a piece of classified government technology from the traitor Reue, as restitution for taxes he had never paid during his time as a citizen of Ark. when questioned, he would only refer to his crimes as a "certified sick jan moment"

Me: ah yes listening to music n' having fun :)

My heart: D`:

uhhh what do i do if i find your art on pinterest?

oh!! well i don’t think there’s much that can be done unfortunately.. the only things i’d like 2 ask of you ( or anybody else that finds it there ) is that if you could comment saying who originally made the art if that’s alright :) and!! would you also mind linking me to the post(s) if you ( or again anybody else ) find it there? i’m always curious on who’s reuploaded it and what the comments are lol, i hope that’s alright though!!

The way "you are kenough" still praises men for the bare minimum

back from the barbie movie and I certainly have Thoughts on what the movie was doing but overall I do think it's worth seeing! it's fun
