To be clear, you don't need any of those things to enjoy either movie.

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 !

[-] Ibaudia@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

I loved Oppenheimer because I love biopics. Didn't bother with Barbie because it seemed not my style.

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 23 points 2 years ago

For what it's worth, Barbie was way weirder than I thought it was going to be. Worth a watch imo

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

The musical numbers are also great

There was subtle messaging beneath the extremely overt messaging?

It didn't seem my style either but I went anyway and enjoyed it.

[-] Sheeple@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 years ago

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.

This shit is so damn stale, starving pigeons won't eat it.

[-] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 47 points 2 years ago

You can also watch either movie if you're stupid and alone. I should know because I did it.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 42 points 2 years ago

Where is the shitposting here? This is just straight up incel cringe.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

Where is the incelness in this?

Seems like a self roast about not getting girls

[-] cro_magnon_gilf@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago

People in here lack humor to such a degree that they can't even recognise a joke.

Easy, just be the girl yourself

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 31 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago
[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago

He says, as Tatlock remounts him with the book in hand. "It's ancient sumerian, and translates to... It's Oppen-time-r"

[-] MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

And it diminished the value of that phrase.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago

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?

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.

[-] VinnieFarsheds@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Something_Complex@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] Sunfoil@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

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

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

[-] MyFairJulia@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 19 points 2 years ago

Tfw you're the woman who fit both criteria

No no that's not me, i'm a guy who's dumb as fuck.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm gonna beach off every guy in here that hasn't seen Barbie.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago
[-] my_legs_still_hurt92@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

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.

Why not both? Or none? Why are these two films compared even?

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!

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Instructions unclear, took a girl to see Oppenheimer.
