BARBIEIt’s too on the nose and Doomsday will hate it with a passion. With a new Christopher Nolan film out in theaters, who thought it’d be the doll movie that he would hate? lol. That said, Barbie is such an aggressively silly endeavor that I almost suspect it’s a troll job by Greta Gerwig. The ending does get quite emotional. Tears were shed. Most by me. But I still suspect it was made as a joke. Nonetheless, I had a great time. The crowd was amazing. 95% of the audience were women in their 30’s and 40’s (all dressed in pink). I expected a mixture of families and rowdy teenagers, but nah, it was grown ass women calling out sick at work on a Thursday. That’s what 1godzillafan tends to do. Can’t wait to read how his experience went. Also, killer soundtrack. Give it the Oscar. The Grammy. Dua Lipa didn’t show her nipples on the pink carpet for the music to be ignored. Speaking of breasts… OPPENHEIMERNo. Cillian Murphy doesn’t hang dong. Very disappointing. But there’s plenty of Florence Pugh nudity. SnoBorderZero has his IMAX 70mm tickets I’m sure. We’ll read about him in the papers. Man in trench coat caught masturbating in Oppenheimer screening. Anyhoo, I complain a lot about Hollywood’s current trend for long ass movies. I also don’t enjoy the post Inception works of Chris Nolan, but gosh darn it, the man won me over. Nolan might win an Oscar. Maybe two or three Oscars. It’s an almost great film. There’s some Nolan idiosyncrasies that’ll be ignored by Dracula and PG Cooper, but it didn’t bother me too much. I was 100% engaged for 3 fucking hours. A tip off the hat for Nolan.

Ken becoming dictator of Barbieland had more oomph. Greta pussied out with that plot point, but it did give us some of the best gags in the movie.

The movie will succeed because it is relevant. Guy helps build the atomic bomb. Kills thousands of innocent people. Give him a medal. Wait. He’s a commie? Fuck ‘em! American politics have been a playground run by children since that Puerto Rican guy named Hamilton got shot. Oppenheimer is captivating. It’s more than just people sitting in a room and talking.

Family is going on vacation in a week and a half. DDay is staying home. I'm squeezing Oppenheimer in and hopefully theaters will be a little less packed by then. Barbie doesn't make the cut.

I'm so fucking excited to see Oppenheimer tonight. There’s one scene in Barbie that I’m dying for you to watch, but I’m sure it got spoiled by now. 1godzillafan knows what I’m referring to. Let’s just say there’s an offer you can’t refuse.

Regular 70mm is fine. Leave IMAX for Cruise.

I'm gonna need time to digest Oppenheimer. That’s why you watch Barbie first. It’s the appetizer. Oppenheimer is the course.

Let us know how the opposite experience went. Yes and in 70MM imax so the way he intended. I’m a pure sicko. Would agree tho, seeing it in that format is maybe a bit excessive. But immaculate nonetheless. Still an hour before Barbie. Top tier Nolan.

When I parked, the car beside me was like a clown car, but for guys dressed in suits, fedoras and briefcases. It was hilarious.
