Mark Ronson trolls Bill Maher for describing ‘Barbie’ as “man-hating”
Mark Ronson has trolled Bill Maher for describing Barbie as “man-hating”.In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter) Maher took aim at the film for being “preachy” and criticised a scene in which Barbie (Margot Robbie) confronts the Mattel board, which is made up of 12 men in the movie.Maher described the scene as a “zombie lie”, due to the fact that the Mattel board actually has seven men and five women on it in real life.In response to Maher’s post, Ronson, who served as a music producer and oversaw the film’s original soundtrack, jokingly quoted Nicole Kidman’s famed AMC cinema ad.“We come to this place for magic,” he wrote. “We come to AMC theatres to laugh, to cry, to care… and to furiously google ‘Mattel board configuration’ while others are trying to enjoy a fucking magnificent comedy.”OK, "Barbie": I was hoping it wouldn't be preachy, man-hating, and a #ZombieLie – alas, it was all three.
