Barbie vs Oppenheimer

[Frobisher]

In the battle of whether humanity will end in a nuclear firestorm or buried under mountains of single-use plastic landfill, I say - why not both?

Have tickets to both

How about a compromise - I buy a Ken doll and put him in the microwave until he explodes?

He think he would just melt. This calls for cherry bombs or M80s.

I suspect Barbieheimer will benefit Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling more than Christopher Nolan and Cillian Murphy. I don't really have a dog in this fight, although I have Barbie dolls and I've read about Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project. However, I've little interest in Gerwig or Nolan these days.

There's a certain whimsy to the whole Barbenheimer phenomenon that better fits the BARBIE movie than OPPENHEIMER. Even if Nolan's movie makes more money because of this, it will be a kind of embarrassment that the movie made money because movie goers were being ironic. Nolan comes across as an uptight egotist who will be bothered by people receiving his work in the wrong way. That might be W.B.'s best revenge, served cold.

Oppenheimer was mind blowing...Barbie though? I am not going to spoil it but i will say that unless you don't want your young kids to ask you awkward questions, do not take them to see this.

[Mister Mets]

I will see Oppenheimer.

I will see it with my father and younger brother, who would not be as eager to see Barbie.

Right now I have ridiculously high hopes for Oppenheimer. I think Dunkirk is the best film made in the second half of the '10s. And it seems like Cillian Murphy, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr, Emily Blunt and Florence Pugh all think they're Oscar-contenders.

It seems geared to me.

I also suspect I'll like Barbie, but Oppenheimer is The Godfather and Barbie is Cabaret.

[Celgress]

Oppenheimer because I love historical/period piece movies.

[Pascal]

Any Nolan film is worth a go. Oppenheimer. Barbie looks fun though.

I am going to see Barbie this weekend. I have a friend going with me. I cant handle the movies alone. But Barbie is enough to bring me out of my exile

You still paid for the doll and they made money so barbie still wins.
