• Greta has always wanted to insert a fart joke on her movies but hasn't been able to so far
• “We’ve always tried to get in a proper fart joke and we’ve never done it,” Gerwig said. The Lady Bird and Little Women filmmaker noted that she and longtime collaborator Houy also attempted to insert fart jokes into her prior two movies, though the outlet reported the jokes were removed both times "about two-thirds through the edit."
• "We had like a fart opera in the middle [of Barbie]. I thought it was really funny," Gerwig recalled. "And that was not the consensus.”
“It was in the wrong place, too,” Houy said of the moment Gerwig wanted to place the flatulance-centric joke in the new movie. “We need to work it into a more significant narrative moment next time.”
• OP is disappointed, but remains hopeful for her future movies.
I’m back baby! Some lady next to me couldn’t stop farting during Barbie it was like Oppenheimer in my nose
Great movie!
Needed a break, I love y’all ❤️
