the thing about "barbie is a commercial!!!" is like. yeah. a commercial starring margot robbie. so i will be there opening day :)

#still thinking abt the diablo cody stuff #about how they specifically referenced how well the lego movie combined being a satire while still promoting the brand #like i think theres something more widespread w barbie. and maybe it feels more insidious? bc theyre not just selling toys to kids w this #like the lego movie was a Cartoon and the main selling point of the brand will always be the toy itself #and like the fact that they managed to make the movie a commentary on the brand itself and what it Represents Culturally #how different people love and play with legos etc. was a genius move and huge success. that GAVE the movie more widespread success #but w barbie its like. its a pg-13 movie this isnt to sell barbie dolls its to sell the barbie brand. as ppl have said obvioulsy lmao #but specifically in comparison to the lego movie like the lego marketing outside of the movie was Not comparable #idk #r.txt
