The “Barbie” Movie Delivered A New Trailer And A Billion Character Posters
Last week, I posted about the trailer for Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City, a vision of pastel overload starring every working actor in Hollywood. And this week, I’m posting about Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie, a vision of pastel overload starring every working actor in Hollywood. But unlike Asteroid City, the Barbie movie is low on twee pretentiousness and high on Ryan Gosling’s nipples brushing up against a hot Magic Earring Ken jean vest (note to Wes Anderson: if you want to make Asteroid City more watchable, include a shot of Ryan Gosling’s nipples brushing up against a hot Magic Earring Ken jean vest in the final cut). In December, we got one Barbie teaser trailer, and today, they released teaser #2. I guess they just keep sticking the tip in. Well, as much as a flat-crotch’d plastic doll can stick the tip in.
And on top of the second teaser trailer, we got tons upon tons of character posters, including Michael Cera as Ken’s ginger friend Allan. FINALLY, Allan is getting his time in the shine, but did they really have to make him look like a sleazy frat boy turned sleazy investment banker?! Allan might be a Murdough.
Here’s The Kubrick-Inspired Teaser Trailer For Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie”
In 2016 they offered us a live-action Barbie movie starring Amy Schumer and we said, “lol. No, thanks.” “Fine, Anne Hathatawy?,” they asked, and it being 2017 we said “look, we’re still trying to recover from Les Mis. Please leave us alone.” Then, like a year later, they said, “well, how about if Greta Gerwig writes and directs?” and we said, “whatever dudes, You do you.” Then they came back with “OK, so Greta’s definitely in and we are thinking Margot Robbie as Barbie? We getting warmer?” and we said, “we’re listening.” Then they said “Great! And as a reward for your patience, how about we give you Ryan Gosling as Ken” and we said “lol. OK, well in that case…”
Pete Davidson, Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, And Kyle Mooney Are All Leaving “Saturday Night Live”
Those who watch Saturday Night Live, may get a dose of the cast singing Goodbye Butthole Eyes to the tune of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road at the end of tonight’s show. Because Pete Davidson is FINALLY leaving along with longtime SNL MVP Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant (NooooOOnnnn!), and Kyle Mooney, better known as the dude who plays Baby Yoda. Deadline says that at the end of tonight’s 47th season finale, which will be hosted by Natasha Lyonne, all four will take their final bows…. before Lorne Michaels comes out to remind them that they signed over their sooooouuuuls to him and they can’t leave ever!
Open Post: Hosted By The Full Trailer For “Joe vs. Carole”
Well, it’s time to test what little relevance anything Tiger King-related still has, as the Peacock miniseries, Joe vs Carole, will soon be upon us. The Netflix documentary, Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness, came out in 2020 when people were locked in their houses because of a pandemic, and had nothing else to do or be interested in, and it took on a life of its own. The story of the big cat breeder, Joe “Exotic” Schreibvogel, and his feud with the big cat rescuer, Carole Baskin, was everywhere. Joe became a momentary celebrity because of how bizarre and tacky he was in the Netflix doc, and Carole as well became an internet character and even got on Dancing With The Stars after it was suggested she killed her first husband and fed him to her big cats. And now, here we are, two years later and a full show about how Joe and Carole fought is coming out starring John Cameron Mitchell as Joe and Kate McKinnon as Carole. We already got a teaser trailer last month and now the full trailer is out.
“Saturday Night Live” Is Losing Cast Members, But Not Kate McKinnon, Pete Davidson, Or Aidy Bryant
A few months ago, it was rumored that five major cast members were done with Saturday Night Live, and wouldn’t be returning for the show’s upcoming 47th season. Those five cast members included: Pete Davidson, Cecily Strong, Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, and Kenan Thompson wouldn’t be back. All of them had moments in the season 46 finale that kind of made it seem like they were saying goodbye. But the internet gossips were wrong. As it turns out, SNL will be losing Beck Bennett instead. Pete, start lifting weights and guzzling protein shakes – someone needs to pick up the shirtless slack left vacant by Beck’s absence.
Lorne Michaels Wants “Saturday Night Live’s” Current Cast To Stick Around For A Bit
It has been said many times that to know Lorne Michaels is to study Austin Powers’ Dr. Evil character. And I know Lorne Michaels isn’t saying goodbye to Saturday Night Live cast members by unceremoniously firing them into space or dropping them into a tank filled with laser-equipped sharks. The reality is probably more of an emotionless handshake and asking if you need instructions on where to return your NBC security pass. But Lorne doesn’t want to do any of that this year. According to Variety, Lorne is desperate to keep several veteran cast members on for the 47th season, and beyond.
