I actually enjoyed Barbie more. Both good movies though.
Yay
Omg omg you were awesome! Ilysm!!
Of course I am, when was I ever not the best part of every movie I’m in?
I liked you in skinny Pete. I think that’s what it was called. And I think it was Margot
Lol
OH MY GOD ITS MARGOT ROBBIE I LOVE YOU!!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
ALSO,THAT’S ESTEEMED ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATED CHARACTER ACTRESS MARGOT ROBBIE TO YOU!!!
I’d like to apologize on behalf of thefloweracidic@lemmy.world ESTEEMED ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATED CHARACTER ACTRESS MARGOT ROBBIE
I didn’t. Barbie was a nice time watching a movie that didn’t even seem to take itself seriously so it allows surreal and fun moments.
But Oppenheimer was just a masterpiece
Pssh. Everyone knows that the lead actress whats-her-name takes herself super seriously and would never, ever, say or do anything just because it’s funny.
Is that academy award winning actress Margot Robbie, star of the silver screen sensation Barbie?
Nominated. Would have been winning* if they let me name the movie “It’s Hardin’ Time” instead of “I, Tonya” then have Jared Leto rip me off.
True genius is never appreciated until it is too late.
Lmao It’s Hardin time would have made it one of the greats. I’m sorry they held you back from your true potential Margot.
But next March… I can feel that Oscar already has my name on it…
To each their own!
I feel like me and my gf are the only people that had zero interest in Oppenheimer . Just didn’t appeal to me at all , barbie was great though !
I loved Oppenheimer because I love biopics. Didn’t bother with Barbie because it seemed not my style.
For what it’s worth, Barbie was way weirder than I thought it was going to be. Worth a watch imo
Didn’t bother with Barbie because it seemed not my style.
What I assumed the movie would be about being a Barbie movie isn’t my style either. However, the Barbie movie was quite a bit more than I expected. I rather liked the subtle feminist messaging underneath the obvious message. The movie also didn’t take itself too seriously on what could be considered very delicate topics. I’d recommend it even for non-typical Barbie doll audience.
There was subtle messaging beneath the extremely overt messaging?
While the feminist message was not meant to be subtle, there are plenty of subtle messages that people still haven’t figured out yet. At it’s core, Barbie is about identity and existence.
It’s not that deep, but it is a bit more complex than at first glance.
It didn’t seem my style either but I went anyway and enjoyed it.
This shit is so damn stale, starving pigeons won’t eat it.
I smell incel.
Yup. Probably didn’t even watch Barbie. Or Oppenheimer for that matter.
I’m hoping that he’s just making a joke about social ineptitude rather than making sexist claims.
That’s what is unfortunate about some of these jokes. I find them funny, but most of the times it turns out that the intention was incel-ish. Reddit’s subreddit, DankMemes, is a prime example of this, you think you just saw a harmless sex based joke and then you jump into the comments and you find out the truth.
I would say a joke about how hard it can be for people to get a girlfriend immediately setting of incel alarms for you is being overly sensitive. It’s a very relatable and common experience for a lot of young men, so it is ripe for comedy. I guess struggling to get a girlfriend can technically make you involuntarily celibate, but I don’t think that was what you meant.
I would say it’s basic pattern recognition.
All men struggling to find a girlfriend are hateful misogynists? No, so it doesn’t help to immediately brand them as such.
“Hard for people to get a girlfriend”. People? GET a girlfriend?
The thing is that ALL HUMANS have a hard time finding someone meaningful for them. But only with the misogynistic and immature viewpoint of some men does it become this toxic and dangerous. Blaming some outer system instead of getting a grip of themselves and stop acting like whiny assholes.
If you think ‘get a girlfriend’ is some deeply misogynistic language indicative of how terrible the patriarchy is, you need to get some perspective.
This was a throwaway joke about struggling to find a girlfriend. There is nothing toxic or dangerous going on here. They’re not blaming an outer system. Lots of men do genuinely have problems getting the confidence and self esteem to approach women, calling them whiny assholes is not very helpful.
Tirade against incels elsewhere.
That bird’s got eyebrows like Immortan Joe
I’m pretty jealous tbh
You can also watch either movie if you’re stupid and alone. I should know because I did it.
Where is the shitposting here? This is just straight up incel cringe.
Where is the incelness in this?
Seems like a self roast about not getting girls
People in here lack humor to such a degree that they can’t even recognise a joke.
It’s the combination of self roast about not getting girls and sexism.
The sexist remark about Barbie is the set up for the self deprecating joke. It’s not said seriously, it’s there to make you feel a little bit offended and engaged to then realise that they are making fun of themselves.
incel cringe
Internet user can’t detect a joke
I’ve heard almost this exact thing said unironically to no laughs where people believe they’re too smart to have girlfriend so it just strikes me as either a tone deaf joke or a cringe real thought so it doesn’t land.
Easy, just be the girl yourself
Why the fuck is there a debate? Why do we care? Just watch the movies you like and don’t fucking gate keep maybe?
Maybe we aren’t gatekeeping, maybe this debate is us discussing the movies. Don’t like it scroll on.
Why do you need a girl to go with for Barbie? If you want to watch it, just fucking watch it. Who cares what people think.
I’m gonna beach off every guy in here that hasn’t seen Barbie.
Atta boy.
Tfw you’re the woman who fit both criteria
No no that’s not me, i’m a guy who’s dumb as fuck.
I would watch Barbie 500x before I watch Oppenheimer again. That movie was made for people with 10 second attention spans and that cinematographer should be arrested. Im surprised people didnt get epilepsy watching Oppenheimer.
Skill issue. Just reading the Wikipedia article on the Manhattan Project would have given you most of the knowledge you need. I watched Oppenheimer and Barbie and liked both for different reasons.
Wow, one has one of the most important and impressive complex storyline ever.
The other one slightly defies gender roles and they rush the end…
Shit I liked them both, but if you don’t like Oppenheimer it might be BC your IQ sits under the requirements man.
Edit: I’m sorry for you guys :(, the world must be so simple too you I kinda admire it
Like most Nolan films, it is pseudo-intellectual tripe that allows people to think they’re smart because they can follow the plot of a simple Hollywood blockbuster produced for the lowest common denominator. Its cinematography is like they’re making a tiktok to hold your atrophied attention span.
The fact that you refer to the plot as ‘the most important and impressive complex storyline ever’ portrays your age, how little film you watch, and probably why we shouldn’t believe your take on either Barbie, Oppenheimer, or anything else.
Hey you are absolutely right, if we die because of climate change instead of nuclear war.
But I bet if the last thing you see is a bright flash it sudently becomes a lot more important
That has nothing to do with what they said
No, because Oppenheimer was not an instructional video on nuclear drills. Not that there are any; if nukes successfully hit, it’s the lottery if you survive healthy enough to continue humanity. I’m not sure how Oppenheimer is meant to change that fact. Good job reading my comment with zero comprehension I guess.
In a world where so many people don’t belive in the holocaus it’s called spreading awareness.
That’s grasping at straws. The Holocaust is tangentially related. It’s not doing anything for people who don’t believe.
Sure keep telling yourself that
“To be fair, you need a pretty high IQ to watch rick and morty”
If you think opp was intellectual you’re the self-important mediocre schlub it was meant to impress
An important and complex storyline can still be executed awfully either in writing or cinematography. But you gotta have at least a somewhat under the average IQ to understand that.
Well I’ve whatched it’s really good. If you don’t understand people like west Anderson and directors in the same category I really wonder if you think this movie was bad
It’s not about the movie(s) in question, it is a general statement. Saying a movie is automatically good because the underlying story is good or worth telling is denouncing so many factors that play into making a movie a good movie. PatFussy was only pointing out that the cutting was terrible (I haven’t seen the movie itself so I cannot judge it) and too fast paced. This is something that can absolutely ruin an otherwise great movie and make it unbearable to watch. The story, the script, the dialogue, the acting, the effects, the cutting, the lighting, the sound and soundtrack- all these things (and many more) are individually important and only when everything works well together a movie can be good (doesn’t automatically mean it is a good movie). Is Oppenheimer a story worth being told? Probably. Most stories are. Has it been told in a well executed way? I don’t know, and also this is a highly personal matter of taste. If someone thinks the cutting is epileptic then that’s a valid opinion that has nothing to do with their intelligence, not understanding a movie, or having an unsophisticated taste in cinema.
As a side note, putting “West” Anderson in a category with Christopher Nolan is ridiculous. One makes arty, more indie movies with rather obscure storylines that rely heavily on the script and dialogue, while the other makes grand style blockbuster action movies. Except for both of them being famous and making movies, the difference could not be vaster.
“West Anderson” LMAO
My gf and me watched both Oppenheimer and Barbie a few weeks before we got together. I loved both movies equally and my gf definitely preferred Oppenheimer.
You can watch The Barbie Movie alone as a single man but you’ll be the only single man in a room filled with couples and girl groups. I know because I was that guy.
Calm down, Allan.
Or you can just watch it at home.
F
Am I the only one who didn’t care to watch either of them?
You’re not like other girls, are you?
I don’t know if this is an American joke or something, but I’m a dude. I just don’t care for hyped stuff.
They were pretty good, Oppenheimer I was excited for but was a bit long, barbie I wasn’t excited for and it was pretty good throughout which surprised me. I just like watching movies in theaters but there haven’t been to many lately that I wanted to watch. There were 3 recently but each was 3 hours long so forget it
You aren’t the only one, i haven’t watched them either.
Yes
