Wie geht's?
I know I'm rapidly approaching old geezerhood but the fickle nature of popular culture was pretty evident as I watched the pre show previews while at the latest Mission: Impossible movie on the weekend.
One preview was for the Barbie movie. This is the teaser:
At its conclusion I turned to Jacky and said, I bet not many people get that reference to 2001 A Space Odyssey.
Jacky's reply: what reference?
When I asked a couple of teachers at school - no one knew the classic Kubrick movie. My hairdresser? Nope.
I feel my survey is pretty comprehensive!
One of the greatest films of all time, and in 2023 it's all but forgotten.
Except, it seems, by me.
Which begs the question: why in the blue blazes did the Barbie people decide to base their teaser on it?
Blowed if I know.
Love and peace - Wozza
