Movie Review: She’s Perfect Barbie. He’s Scene-Stealing Ken. Their life in plastic looks fantastic

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:45:30 GMT

For someone who’s 11.5 inches tall and weighs under 8 ounces, poor Barbie’s had to carry an awfully heavy load over the years on that slender, plastic back of hers.Welcomed as a trailblazer in 1959 — An adult doll! With actual breasts! — she was nonetheless branded an anti-feminist a decade later when women’s rights marchers chanted “I Am Not a Barbie Doll,” referring to her unrealistic body type (and perhaps ignoring the fact that she was single, a homeowner and a career woman).As years went by, Barbie had her hits (adopting a more inclusive body type, running for president) and misses (exclaiming “Math class is TOUGH!” — ouch). Through it all, this lightning rod in tiny pink heels remained uniquely talented at reinventing herself.Which is why it makes sense that now, writer-director Greta Gerwig takes Barbie in more than one direction – in every direction, really – in her brash, clever, idea-packed (if ultimately TOO packed) and most of all, eye-poppingly lovely “Barbie,” the bran...

French MEPs score a win as Parliament agrees to rent €2M-a-year Strasbourg offices

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:45:30 GMT

BRUSSELS — French MEPs were out in force at a committee meeting Wednesday to support a vote in favor of beefing up the European Parliament’s premises in Strasbourg by renting 15,000 square meters of office space from the French government.After failing to convince the EU to buy the Osmose building outright, the French government is arranging to buy the building and then lease it to the Parliament for €700,000 per year on a 99-year contract. Acquiring the Osmose building will set the French state back €53.5 million.Though broadly seen as a cheap deal for the EU institution, the French rental offer was loudly rejected by the Socialists and Greens groups, whose lawmakers argued the extra space is unnecessary, badly adapted to the Parliament’s needs, and an attempt to get the EU to purchase the building through the back door because under the terms of the deal, the Parliament can buy it at any time.Latvian S&D MEP Nils Ušakovs tried unsuccessfully to kibosh the vote...
