Nobody. We even all breathe air coming out of the whole bunch's asses for the whole trip, people involved in this sad story, or not ^^

That is several notches grosser than seeing a man's back while he's standing up between two thin walls.

But Barbie people, the Pope, Mary mother of Jesus or Marylin Monroe NEVER farts, or take a dump, that's common knowledge ^^

Some got far more from the film than it being all about empowering women…

I never even heard of Barbie when I was a kid. Girls had Sindy Dolls.

I was trying to remember what my other plastic doll was called. I too had a Sindy. Mine was a brunette.

Sindy (British) Vs Barbie (American)

Sindy was a British-made product specifically designed to be a younger, simpler and less glamorous version of Barbie (American). At her peak in the 1980s, Sindy had 80% of the UK's “fashion doll” market. But successive redesigns failed to capture the American market and by the late 90s the brand was crushed.

Even Sindies were too expensive for us, fortunately we had the poupees Barbes (Barbes is a poor district of Paris).

Very surprised to come here after a few days and see a seven page thread about a doll that's aimed at pre-pubescent girls.

I read an interesting article lately that Hollywood is losing so much money due to pirating and streaming services paying next to nothing for the rights to stream the movie, they're now effectively turning movies into 2 hour commercials. The idea being that they'll make the movie at a loss, or perhaps make a small profit, but make most of their money on the merchandise that the movie generates.

Clearly this has been going on for decades - I remember as a kid, when Star Wars came out, everyone wanted to buy the plastic characters or the millennium falcon, and they did very well out of the merchandise. However, the movie always seemed to come first, and the merch was an afterthought.

Hollywood is now turning the tables where the movie is literally just the commercial for the merch. This Barbie movie being a prime example.

Again, very surprised that a website primarily used by middle aged males generates seven pages of content based on a doll (and a move of the doll) that's designed to be enjoyed by pre-pubescent girls. Strange.
