Bullet Dodged

I have no interest, of course, in ever watching the Barbie movie, despite the casting of the comely Margot Robbie in the title role.

Nevertheless, I still got a queasy feeling in my stomach when I stumbled across this horrifying scenario:

Amy Schumer was originally to play the title role of Barbie in the live-action Barbie movie but left the project in 2017, citing scheduling conflicts.

Yeah, nothing says “Barbie”

…like this foul yenta:

You may all be excused for a bathroom / vomit break at this point, and please accept my apologies for the latter pic — but it had to be done.

  1. She is why the word “gash” was invented.
    And, of course, “fuck ditch”.
    That’s one foul human.

    JQ

  3. It’s part of the modern movie/TV writing toolkit.

    “We can’t just make a movie about a character that a lot of girls loved from childhood, we have to make the movie about an ugly version of the character, starring some horrible person. That’s way it’s ironic or something. We’re making a statement. Or whatever.”

  4. This has triggered another pet peeve of mine: can they please stop Liam Neeson as an American fer fuck’s sake? Might as well cast Stallone as James Bond.

  5. Egads! After an image like that, the least you could do is offer us some eyebleach in the form of Salma or Nigella, or even comely Margot (NOT in her “Harley Quinn” livery, of course).
