"Barbenheimer": "Barbie" or "Oppenheimer" and why? by itsanonyx
I saw Barbie opening weekend (I'm pretty sure.. it might have been the next week) with bizarra and The Lifeguard. I enjoyed the Hell out of it, honestly. Especially the Deadpool-style aside from Helen Mirren about some very specific casting. XD And OMG the 'NSync line from Will. [ dying ]
The Lifeguard seems to have been the one who took the biggest emotional hit, there.. which was odd. But, hey...
In all, I don't know that I'd agree that Ryan is a shoo-in for an Oscar nomination, but he did knock Ken out of the park. Simu, as well. Honestly, I loved all the Kens. I could stand more Kens. Even Allen.
I LOVED the sets and the colors. And all the throwbacks to random outfits (I have the figure skater outfit!) and Barbies of yore. And the fact that Mattel was willing to throw all that shade at themselves was [ chef's kiss ] OMG I almost forgot about the Mattel bleep. XD
I also loved the plot twist of just how the walls were breaking down and I kinda oddly felt.. seen? It's hard to explain. I imagine Margot will get the Oscar nomination, but Jesus, America Fererra.. ♥
As for Oppenheimer.. it wasn't even going to be on my radar, regardless of the weekend it came out. Manhattan was a chore to get through, and as much as I love a good historical-based movie.. I just don't care. I'd rather read about that part of US history or watch a History Channel/Nat Geo-style program.
I get that Nolan is a genius filmmaker, etc.. but the only one of his I can really sit through is Interstellar, and even that one has me wanting to skip scenes, at times. I just prefer a bit more action-action in my movie-watching, versus drama-action. (also I've heard there was a LOT of nudity, and I'm just not into seeing anyone naked, if I can help it.)
