°.✩┈┈ ┈┈ ∘*┈୨୧┈*∘┈┈ ┈┈ ✩.°
Ken (Barbie, 2023): 
He’s Just Ken ⋆˚✿˖° Ken has always been more than fond of you, and he kept that to himself, like a small thought that didn't mean much. You, unbeknownst to him, of course, felt the same, and he is shocked to learn this.
New Guy ⋆˚✿˖° Short & sweet; Ken is the new guy at your work - somewhere he keeps calling the ‘real world’. You don’t get that, but what’s new, he never really makes any sense.
New Guy Part 2 ⋆˚✿˖° Ken invites you over for dinner at his house - something you were greatly looking forward to! Until you noticed something was on his mind.
Every Night is Ghoul's Night⋆˚✿˖° Ken leads the way to the Real World to join Barbie for a new holiday he doesn't quite understand. Once he arrives, he learns that most things in this place are hard to understand.
Holland March (The Nice Guys, 2016):
You’re Protesting the Air? ⋆˚✿˖° The tension between Holland and his client had been building for weeks. You were proud of yourself for keeping your cool - until Healy left you under the care of his partner.
Officer K (Blade Runner 2049, 2017): 
Baseline ⋆˚✿˖° You're a Blade Runner paired to work with Officer K. You both sense a bizarre shift lately.  Something is wrong.
Other Ken posts: 
Mojo Dojo Bingo + links to free ryan gosling movies ⋆˚✿˖° Just a bingo sheet of Ryan Gosling movies.
Ken’s Cowboy Outfit ⋆˚✿˖° Noticed the difference and thought it was funny.

i just rly wanna luv u !
Tumblr media
「 tws + notes: no tws, unserious asf, atsv ben reilly having kenergy (CREDS 2 @//KAIRISCORNER THE GOAT for this), ben is mad silly, reader is a spider-person, unedited, ooc (?) 」
Tumblr media
↳ ft. scarlet spider/ben reilly
「 oblivious gn!reader, romantic relationship <3 」
author's note: im having so many thoughts about him in the movie always. bro had bare minimum screen time and i still go AWOOGA thinking of this stupid stupid guy </3 im gonna b real here, i luv my bitches silly!!! (*ノε`*)
Tumblr media
▸ you were teamed up w/ ben reilly on your first mission!!! this was the first time you ever interacted,,, which was. interesting to say the least
"scanning the area..."
"who are you talking to–"
▸ you just kinda have to get used to his narrating while you hunt down the anomaly miguel sent you two after. but!!! just because he's talkative (more to himself rather than you) doesn't mean he's incompetent
you end up locating it and capturing it in about an hour and a half. quick as hell.
▸ you seem to work well with him!!! progressively, you notice that you're paired up with him quite frequently.
this isn't strange– itz actually fairly easily rationalized this by the fact that you just seem to work more efficiently as a duo
▸ eventually, you two become friends and spend time together beyond just doing missions
▸ it's relieving for the rest of the spider society to know he does more than just ruminate over his harrowing past and distressing memories when he's not saving the multiverse
▸ but it becomes just... a little peculiar. you may be oblivious, but you're far from stupid. everyone notices how he's spending more time around you than anyone else– he follows you like a lost puppy
you ask him about this,, and he fervently denies it
"following you? pft. no. not even. you wouldn't get it–"
like... ok dude. um. anyways.
▸ you pick up on little things here and there, but you just figure the poor guy doesn't have a lot of friends.
▸ you are the only person who's allowed to call him "benny" (though he will feign distaste for the nickname, he letz it slide)
▸ you are the only person who distracts him from his dramatic monologues, the only one who draws his thoughts away from whatever he's brooding about
▸ you are the only person who he ever actively seeks out
"has anyone seen them today? they haven't been around–"
"searching for them... hm... nowhere to be seen... checking frequent hangout locations–"
▸ and all of a sudden, you're the only person who he wants to show off to. not like you notice this part. you just assume he's grown accustomed to talking to you about everything
"check it out. i've changed my arm routine."
and he's jus.. flexing.
you hit him w/ the "cool dude, it's really showing!!" and he immediately takes +5 dmg from u tugging on his heartstrings
▸ ur compliments just mean everything to him
▸ the littlest things about your appreciation get to him. even just you smiling because of him seems to make him a little weak in the knees though he tries not to show it too much
▸ he's... trying. again, he really isn't incompetent but sometimes he's straight up making himself a cringefail loserboy around you
"THIS ONES FOR YOU!!!!" tries to shoot a basketball into a hoop
it hits the rim hard
bounces back
hits him square in the face
he tried.
▸ so maybe you haven't noticed much. however, you've definitely noticed he's been trying so much harder around you. and though you reassure him always that he's just fine the way he is– he still always attempts to be more.
you don't understand why.
▸ "ben, this... really isn't necessary, y'know? you're cool as you are." you tell him. it seems like he's relentless in his quest to impress.
you make it simple:
"i like you." you tell him.
ben pauses, taking a moment to look at you. his gaze is focused on you, your face– he hears the sincerity laced in your words. he feels his face heat up just a little. "...really?"
you grin and for a moment, his heart skips a beat. he feels his breath catch in his throat
"of course! ben," you say, his name on your lips being akin to the sound of a choir of angels, "you'll always be my best friend, dude."
+50 dmg to ben reilly
he cries HARD that night into his pillow IAHWOEHDJW
▸ you two are free entertainment for the rest of the spider society. people are placing bets on whether ben's gonna stop pussying around or if you're gonna put two-and-two together before he actually confesses
▸ and they are DIVIDED abt how this is gonna end for you both
after all, you still seem to be absolutely clueless about the fact that ben was the one practically begging miguel to be teamed up with you on each mission.
▸ and now, he's REALLY trying
▸ shows up with your favourite flowers at your door
"oh!! benny, that's so nice of you! you really are such a great friend–"
+60 dmg to ben reilly
▸ "inadvertently" (aka: TOTALLY ON FUCKING PURPOSE) tries to cuddle up to you on the couch or put an arm around you while watching a movie
"are you cold?"
"no, i–"
"here, i don't really need this blanket anyways"
+65 dmg to ben reilly
+5 warmth
▸ STRAIGHT UP TELLS YOU HE LOVES YOU
"i love you too, ben! you're irreplaceable. the absolute sweetest friend i have."
UR KILLING HIM
▸ you two r just:
Tumblr media
▸ atp the spider society is in SHAMBLES. it is no longer entertaining it is torturous watching ben reilly now lament over his "unrequited love burning like a wildfire in his heart" (his dramatic ass words probably) and you have no clue it's about YOU
▸ one day, he's decided he has to do something. he needs to make it completely and undeniably clear that he's in love with you.
-
you're hanging out as usual, in the cafe not touching the miguel burger that they're serving there for some reason becuz eating the face of your boss feels... wrong and he clears his throat
"no backing out now..." he declared to himself, narrating while sitting Right In Front Of You
he clears his throat, making you look up from your fries.
"so..." he begins.
"benny, what would you do if someone didn't like you back?" you suddenly blurt out.
he looks up at your face. you've been pouting this entire time, head held low as you pick at your food.
how did he not notice? his attention is constantly on you. he mentally beats himself up for this
in the anxiety of his plans to confess, he somehow completely disregarded how you were feeling. he was so in his head.
"switching directive–" he mutters to himself, now focused on what you wanna say.
you give him a weak smile. "look, i just... i dunno. maybe this is bad timing."
there's a beat of silence between the two of you before you speak up again.
"ben. i really like you. like... more than a friend. it hurts. so so much. because i know you only think of me as a friend and i just–"
everyone within earshot nearly explodes hearing this.
-
▸ like ok plot twist i guess. so the pining went both ways and you were both completely oblivious to it.
▸ the other spider-people who were betting on how this would end are all SHAKEN
but are also so relieved they don't have to walk past ben loudly declaring his anguish due to a broken heart
▸ ben is astonished by how you even thought that he saw you as just a friend. he did EVERYTHING to get through to you
but hey. something worked. finally, after the yearning, and the trying, and the fear of rejection– he finds himself on a date with you :3

I didn't hate The Fall Guy, I absolutely loved it!
There's nothing that makes me want to make movies more than watching movies about making movies.
Inside me there are two wolves. One loves watching serious, "important" ✨️cinema✨️, and the other one loves watching fun, over the top action movies. Because both of them are cinema, matter what anyone says. Movies are a way to escape. To have some fun when you aren't feeling too great. To have a laugh when you've been crying too much. To have a cry when you've been holding it in too long. To get angry in a way that inspires you to make a change. To get scared enough to feel something when you think you've gone numb.
If Nicole Kidman needs a new AMC commercial, tell her to call me.
Anyway, if you love movies, if you love action, if you love stunts, The Fall Guy is for you. If you love Dune (in a fun way, not a crazy zealot way) you'll love The Fall Guy.
I loved almost everything, if not everything about this movie. I thought the story was a lot of fun, the soundtrack was great, the cinematography was cool, the pacing was consistent, and of course the action, vfx and stunts were awesome!
The performances struck a balance of earnestness and tongue-in-cheek that reminds me of the self-awareness of Barbie or The LEGO Movie. Ryan Gosling is definitely still feeling the Kenergy, and it's nice to see Ken doing well on his own without Barbie. Actually, scratch that, he found a different Barbie in Emily Blunt, who made me wish I was on a film set right now so I could fall in love with a camera operator. I haven't directed a movie (yet), but I could feel her nerves as a first-time director, but her growing confidence also came across beautifully. Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Tom Cruise–sorry, Tom Ryder–made me remember that I love to watch good actors act like bad actors. I feel like Hannah Waddingham can't give a bad performance, 10/10, no notes. I wish Winston Duke had more screentime, but what he had, he absolutely owned. The only other thing I've seen him in was Us, which was fantastic, but I definitely want to see more.
But of course, my standout performance has to be my girl Stephanie Hsu!! It's criminal how little I saw her in the marketing of The Fall Guy, it's almost like she's just a Jobu Tupaki cameo, but she absolutely crushed her scenes. I mean, they gave her a great action scene, thank you EEAAO for showing the world what Stephanie can do.
Slight spoilers in this next paragraph. The Fall Guy isn't overly emotional, but there was one part that got me moist in the eyes. It wasn't the love story, okay it was part of that, or the message about always getting back up, or that nihilism is a viable worldview (I learned that from EEAAO, nothing matters 😁), it was the line that Ryan Gosling says to Emily Blunt's character Jody, about how she has to finish her movie because she might end up inspiring the next generation of Jodys. As soon as he said that, just a wave of emotion. Because that's how movies keep going, because filmmakers inspire filmmakers who inspire filmmakers. It's so simple, yet it is so profound and beautiful. And the fact that a movie has the power to inspire a young woman to make a crazy fun Mad Max/Dune love story with Jason Momoa is so stupidly powerful. But this movie also has the power to inspire the next generation of stunt performers, directors, writers, producers, and all that is just amazing.
If you've read this far, it looks like you're just as crazy as me, the guy who will sit in the front row of as many IMAX viewings of as many movies as he can, because he just loves movies. And like I said, nothing makes me want to make movies more than watching movies about making movies.

ok we watched the barbie movie and i must be ovulating because the emotional levers were successfully pulled and i did cry but i was also mad part of the time.
i'd say i have a few thoughts and questions about the depiction of ruth handler lol but i haven't put it into succinct enough words yet
interesting they'd do the jokes about earring magic ken and growing up skipper and uh whatever pregnant midge was called and do a joke about ruth handler's...tax evasion? did she really do tax evasion? but they didn't touch on bild lilli. maybe they can't
sooo barbie is a god and mattel are her... stewards. lmao? what the fuck is gonna happen in barbieland if god is not in her heaven... whatever. just like in preacher when god goes missing (yes i watched part of the preacher amc series with my mother). i feel like the "barbie is a god, she is every barbie and every barbie is her" would have been the explicit focus of MY barbie movie (what can i say, i love a good story about a god becoming human, it's the christianity i've been steeped in) but they kind of don't do much with it
actually ruth handler = god, barbie = jesus?
ken becomes a ... men's (ken's) rights activist. lmao?
anyone else think the car chase was filmed like a car commercial. like weirdly obviously so? i feel like product placement has come farther than this
they want people to say it's a gay or trans allegory sooooo bad between the birkenstocks and the "you don't get permission, it's something you discover about yourself" they want it sooooo bad ok you win i'm saying it. but i know you wanted me to say it. you won fuck off!!!!!! or maybe i'm reaching because it's easy to read the emotional journey of coming out to yourself in a general coming of age tale. but come on. i'm not that smart so if i'm picking up on someone wanting me to think something, they probably do. the only way this movie could have been gay would have been if the weird barbies led a new society.
so was this their way of saying they're debuting a line of kens with jobs...?
i liked the comedy of 2001 monolith barbie and the barbieland physical comedy stuff. maybe i should have rolled my eyes but i'm easy. rollerblading executives also killed
i liked the little twist that barbie's crisis was precipitated by being played with, not by a maturing child, but her mother. kind of in line with how the movie itself is an ad for the barbie brand for adults. there's quite a few moments that i thought had to be intentional references to the function of the movie itself in the real world, and they all felt weird and bad, like someone screaming "let me out!!!!!" i've forgotten a lot of them now because i'm adding this bit in an edit the next day.
*guy who has only seen south park voice* getting a lot of imaginationland vibes from this
i kind of expected for there to be like a joke about allan being in unrequited love with ken but i now think there probably was in an earlier draft and it didn't mesh with the final product and they had to nix it. or like surely someone floated it at least
you know they tried to save it from being too much about ken by having someone literally say "what about barbie's ending?" and then doing barbie's ending but...it was still kind of more about ken i think. he did a dance number for christ's sake. i almost forgot that barbie got to dance too, but barbie's dance was also mostly about ken wanting her to notice him. "he's just ken" "kenergy" "i am kenough" come on. i think the biggest laugh in the theater was actually the kenough hoodie. biggest laugh for me personally? sasha saying, (and i'm paraphrasing of course bc i'm not bothering to look it up) "are you two shining?"
i got SO close to killing the mood when we walked out by saying "hey lets google mattel factory working conditions right now" but i decided that was too far / probably in poor taste for me to flippantly use in post-movie discussion
the feminism 101 stuff was whatever. it made sense within the setting of the movie since america ferrera as a human had to introduce ideas into barbieland for them to take hold, and ideas just kind of manifest whatever happens in barbieland, but i'm very surprised they didn't do a joke like "gee i wish it was this easy in the real world" like how did they miss that opportunity, it would have worked. or maybe they did and i missed it because i had my hater goggles on
sooo velveteen rabbit?
all in all, as a member of the moviegoing public, i guess i got what i wanted. an experience that left me with something to think and talk about.
p.s. this was, for me personally, an ad for ryan gosling. i didn't find him interesting until now. they really got me there.
p.p.s. obviously any criticism i have of the like existence of the barbie movie is hypocritical because i haven't said it about gundam (yet)
