The press junket for Barbie seemed pretty nonstop for months.

Perhaps Ms Robbie is sick of us, too.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 89 points 9 months ago (1 children)

To tell you the truth, no Barbie shilling or character actress or any of my other running gags here.

Yeah, especially after the last weeks. I'm sorry.

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

I wish there was more

[–] DragonTypeWyvern 128 points 9 months ago (1 children)

She's too busy shitposting on Lemmy, obviously.

There’s a Lemmy.world user by the name of MargotRobbie.

I mean that's not a bad idea. There are movies l started avoiding cause I was sick of the actors in them being in everything. Got so sick of anything with Jennifer Lawrence or Bradley Cooper

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 118 points 9 months ago (6 children)

If you want to avoid me, Lemmy is like the last place you would want to be...

I'm like, everywhere here.

Before Barbie came out, I thought your profile was a marketing/PR team promoting the movie. I'm kinda convinced now that this may just be your account. Celebrities are regular people too and frankly, I only know your characters, not you as a person or how you care to spend your time. But we're all just people being humans.

I go to my little local movie theater all the time. Three times just this week. My wife and I LOVE the cinematic experience!

I just want to tell you, I REALLY enjoyed Babylon! It felt like an epic tale of the rise and fall of "empires", whether referring to eras of film making, industry magnates, prolific celebrities of the time, all changing/growing and then devolving through debauchery to depravity and finally, collapse (I imagine the point of the title.) All the characters intertwined through separate, steep trajectories. Reminded me of Casino. I don't read many reviews or critics; I'm not really sure how it was "officially" received, but from an avid movie-goer in a tiny little mountain town in the US, I thoroughly enjoyed your performance!

It's gotten to the point where I kind of hope it's not the real Margot Robbie. I want to stand in awe of somebody out there who's this committed to the joke.

[–] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 34 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I somehow doubt the real Margot is an avid Android tech enthusiast

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

have you ever seen margot robbie and linus torvalds in the same room together?

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

I honestly did it because it's funny when the opportunity presented itself, if you know the backstory behind that.

I for one am not sick of Margot Robbie, she seems to only get better at acting and she seems to be good to her fans. Also you really don't hear scandals and bullshit out of her like so many celebrities

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

I understand why you're taking a break from acting. Lemmy can be quite time-consuming.

I still refer to Bradley Cooper as “That guy from Alias”

So does she need a middle aged man to make margaritas and gossip by the pool with her?

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 40 points 9 months ago (4 children)

That position has been filled. Sorry.

Well good on Margot for taking some time off to focus on other things. Still being in the industry but avoiding the spotlight sounds like a good way to remain grounded.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 81 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Perhaps buying a copy of the collector's edition Blu-ray of the Golden Globe winning movie, Barbie, will cheer you up.

[–] thefloweracidic@lemmy.world 35 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'll buy 3 more, thanks for the advice

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 44 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It turns out organic marketing is that easy. Huh.

[–] thefloweracidic@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago

I LOVE YOU PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME

[–] Bobmighty@lemmy.world 24 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Also because she's sick of the people I bet. I wouldn't blame her. We can be a bunch of fuckers as a species.

[–] Neil@lemmy.ml 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Plus, I bet she made enough from that movie to basically disappear for a year or two.

I mean when you've been played with by millions of girls for decades, you'd worry people were sick of you too.

Kudos for her for still looking young despite being a teenager since 1959.

[–] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 15 points 9 months ago

I've got to say, I enjoyed Barbie more than I expected to. Maybe because I was jetlagged out of my brain on a 13-hour flight when I watched it, but I was probably disturbing my neighbors the amount I was giggling and trying not to burst out laughing. They did a great job of touching on serious issues in an informative and entertaining manner without being preachy or annoying, too. Fantastic movie!

[–] VerseAndVermin@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Samara Weaving liked that.

[–] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

Jaime King and Jaime Pressly be like "we still exist too"

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Is she keeps putting in performance like wolf of wallstreet I'm sure we won't get sick of her.

"How can you do this to us Margie ? We've already written Barbie 3 !" - Warner exec

[–] spacecowboy@sh.itjust.works 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What about the other 3 (or 4?) Margot Robbies?

[–] DreadPirateShawn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 45 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I think the plural is Margots Robbie.
