I mean the Sam Smith song was all about Ken & the Lizzo song obviously had a very specific role to play in the film this is fair for some of the others tho

Melanie's allegations were never proven to be false, and anyways why are her rapey tendencies a point of discussion in the Lizzo thread

Oliver ended her

yeah; here are the titles I can make out, and what I theorize happens in them: 01p2 "Barbie Land Creation" — Margot!Barbie invents Ken as Barbieland builds itself around them, insert narration 13 "Barbie Monument" — duplicate card; was never a deleted scene 37 "Aaron Thru Security" — extension of the build-up to execs finding out about Barbie existing irl 59A "Execs in Rollerblades" — comedic moment of the execs preparing for their travel to Barbieland 73 "Ken Role Auditions" — auditions for a Ken movie, which was mentioned in the film 88 "Boy [?] Up!" — showing the real-world perception of Ken, which is being tainted by the antics in Barbieland 89 "Ken Toys Returned" — what the title says, nobody wants Ken dolls & Mattel are losing money ?? "Mattel Bldg For Rent" — Mattel shutting down amid low doll sales 90A "Barbies Can Save Us" — execs realize the Barbies' scheme succeeding is their only hope 9? "[?] Outer Space" — scene involving Astronaut Barbie? 95p5 "Midge in Labor" — post-credit; Midge is giving birth and the narrator physically interrupts the scene to comment on the absurdity of it Other ones I have no idea about: ?? "[?] Play Mean" ?? "What Barbie Means To Me" And then other details I found interesting: The montage of the different powerful Barbies doing their jobs was meant to follow "Barbie Land Creation" & "Intro To Barbie Land". In the final film, it plays during Margot!Barbie's drive through town, a good few minutes later. The Ken success scenes were meant to directly follow the Depressed Barbie ad, emphasizing the real-world dynamic shift

this is gonna sound so unserious but how does making out with her sister make her a bad person

Ok I REALLY hope we get a directors cut, cuz here's a new photo from the editing process WE LOST A POST-CREDIT SCENE OF MIDGE GIVING BIRTH among so many other scenes in that stack in the bottom right

spilled, where are the mods when we need them

this looks so wrong, XCX3 Charli should never exist anywhere that isn't a neon pink and blue void with skyscrapers and Cyberpunk 2077 technology

why do you guys hate the most cunty pop-esque song on the record

now that she's back she should go after the streamers and tell them to delete all of the bootlegs xx

off the top of my head Forced Fantasy is a 2012 soundtrack/score piece After the Flame, Boom Boom, Summer 98 are from the window of time she was making CLXI #goals is from a 2015 Troye Sivan album session Stranger is CLXII Love Again is a post-CLXII demo that didn't carry over into Super Sunset Down in the Fog, Set Yourself on Fire are post-CG demos

I don't really get that; yeah the song is Barbie inspired, but it's a real mood-killer and it uses Barbie as a negative metaphor. Gaga has also been known to follow the same bullshit ideas about Barbie being a bad role model that this film criticizes

@Elle selling our data for Lana concert tix as we speak

when Lady Gaga sings "love me, love me, please retweet" and no one gets it because Musk erased Twitter

I feel like it has demo / half-baked energy, but I feel that way about a lot of the soundtrack The movie is SO detail oriented and (dare I say) timeless, and I wish the artists that appeared on the album would've brought that same energy instead of aiming for a trending TikTok sound. Why is the Tame Impala track only a minute and a half long? Doesn't even feel like a song at that point, it's a score piece. The production styles of everything did suit the film well though.

it's giving Shrek and it's also giving mucus

Get Free with the loud ass bgv

the answer rhymes with "feel on dusk"

it sent me when they joked that the Kens are obsessed with Zack Snyder's Justice League and it worked cuz it got all the Zack Snyder stans riled up on Twitter

I hope we're getting an extended cut later this year, cuz this scene was deleted and I wonder what else was left on the cutting room floor

it was a fun movie; I'd say !SPOILER! Barbieland becoming a patriarchal society where the women are brainwashed servants & maids !SPOILER! was a little twisty or shocking, but I did get hints of that spoiled to me on Twitter and I saw it coming

The Sam Smith song wasn't bad actually; I've been a hater in the past but it worked, it was palatable, it fit the vibe, it wasn't trying to "serve" or anything like that, it was a cute 80s-esque soundtrack moment in the film still dumb that Sam was the final surprise artist in the album rollout, I personally would've made Ryan Gosling's musical outbursts the final secret but idk

WARNING !! MINOR SPOILERS So I just saw the movie, and I'm having some mixed feelings about it. First of all, Margot Robbie did a fantastic job, she brought such emotional weight to the story and she served, every single second that she was on screen. All the actors did good. Shout out to Michael Cera! I found his Alan so endearing, he's one of the gorls and I can see this movie reviving interest in the character (in terms of toy demand). The writing in the movie was very self-aware, even breaking the fourth wall to address that we're watching a movie starring Margot Robbie, and it was camp. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it was a little cringe. All-in-all it was a fun movie, instant classic. The soundtrack worked a lot better than expected. The context of the Lizzo track is so goofy, it's basically played-straight narration to Barbie's morning routine, with very literal lyrics saying exactly what's happening on-screen. I don't think they actually used Ava Max or Dominic Fike? If they did, it was either instrumental backing music or end credit stuff I missed. But they played a huge chunk of Speed Drive twice in a row and it served. The two "Best Weekend Ever Edition" bonus tracks have a larger presence in the film than a majority of the standard tracks. Barbie World is an end credits song, so you don't have to hear it for long if you don't want to. As someone who cares too much about random lore, I hate hate HATE what they did with the subjects of Midge and the inception of Barbie. They reduced Midge to a running gag, calling her the bad pregnant doll that was discontinued for being *weird*, which is untrue and also minimizes her role in Barbie history. She only appears for brief intervals so they can make fun of her existence, and they completely ignore that Alan's the father & husband despite his prominence in the film. I also HATE how they put Ruth Handler on a pedestal, praising her as the inventor of the first ever fashion doll. This isn't true. Ruth saw children in Germany playing with a doll known as Bild Lilli, and she stole the design with no authorization or credit in regards to the original inventor. Ruth did not invent fashion dolls, she just brought them to the US, and the film does revisionist history to pretend that's not the case.
