To be clear, you don't need any of those things to enjoy either movie.
Phew, I only have an IELTS score of 8, I was worried there for a sec
I have an ELI5 score of 3
I actually enjoyed Barbie more. Both good movies though.
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.
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.
Hoping you realize that its ironic
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.
“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.
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.
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
It's actually much harder to watch Oppenheimer, because you have to see him say his famous catchphrase in a scene that could show John Green how to make sex more awkward
It's oppen time?
He says, as Tatlock remounts him with the book in hand. "It's ancient sumerian, and translates to... It's Oppen-time-r"
And it diminished the value of that phrase.
Oh yeah. It's an absolute fucking insult to the man. He didn't actually feel any of the gravity of the situation when he remarked "now I am become death, destroyer of worlds," he wasn't making a reference to a religious text, he just remembered that cool time he had sex and his lover dismounted, walked over to the bookcase, pulled a random book off the shelf, and asked "what does this means?" before getting back on
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.
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.
"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
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.
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.
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'm gonna beach off every guy in here that hasn't seen Barbie.
Atta boy.
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.
Big dick energy!
With all the horses in that movie, it's one of the most masculine movies ever made!
Calm down, Allan.
F
Or you can just watch it at home.
Instructions unclear, took a girl to see Oppenheimer.
Quick, somebody make a meme of "the virgin Oppenheimer vs the Margot Barbie", I need all the help I can get for my Oscar campaign!
Watching Oppenheimer is just easier on the soul.
I don't know, they were both pretty depressing
Oppenheimer wasn't easy, it's true. But I rate Barbie below it because it's current.
Lol these are the two.movies that were playing when i last went to the drive in movie theatre near me
Actually Barbie and Oppenheimer are a butch4femme couple.
What about M3gan though?
Did you like it? I expected more, I think.
Yeah, I mean it doesn't do anything particularly unexpected, but did exactly what I wanted from it, and did it extremely competently.
It also was a smidge over 90 minutes, which is refreshing in an age where everything has to be about 45 minutes too long for some fucking reason.
Old meme, this is not the debate raging on because I saw this exact image ages ages ages ago. Just saying
