I actually enjoyed Barbie more. Both good movies though.
The barbieheimer debate rages

OH MY GOD ITS MARGOT ROBBIE I LOVE YOU!!

I didn’t, but Barbie was a nice time watching a movie that didn’t even seem to take itself seriously
But Oppenheimer was just a masterpiece
MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.
Ryan213@lemmy.world 5 months ago
To each their own!

I strongly disagree. Both were middling and forgettable. In a year or so most people will struggle to recall anything about either movie.
bighatchester@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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 5 months ago
I loved Oppenheimer because I love biopics. Didn’t bother with Barbie because it seemed not my style.
0ops@lemm.ee 5 months ago
For what it’s worth, Barbie was way weirder than I thought it was going to be. Worth a watch imo
Ryan213@lemmy.world 5 months ago
It didn’t seem my style either but I went anyway and enjoyed it.
partial_accumen@lemmy.world 5 months 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 be 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.

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

I smell incel.
Sheeple@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yup. Probably didn’t even watch Barbie
SpookySnek@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Hoping you realize that its ironic

I’m hoping that he’s just making a joke about social ineptitude rather than making sexist claims.
SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 5 months 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.
Sunfoil@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.
Vub@lemmy.world 5 months ago
“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.
Kichae@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
I would say it’s basic pattern recognition.

You can also watch either movie if you’re stupid and alone. I should know because I did it.
starman2112@sh.itjust.works 5 months 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 5 months ago
It’s oppen time?
starman2112@sh.itjust.works 5 months 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 5 months ago
And it diminished the value of that phrase.
starman2112@sh.itjust.works 5 months 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
onichama@feddit.de 5 months ago
Easy, just be the girl yourself
thefloweracidic@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Why the fuck is there a debate? Why do we care? Just watch the movies you like and don’t fucking gate keep maybe?
Sargteapot@lemmy.nz 5 months ago
Maybe we aren’t gatekeeping, maybe this debate is us discussing the movies. Don’t like it scroll on.
PatFussy@lemm.ee 5 months ago
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 5 months 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 5 months 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.
Sunfoil@lemmy.world 5 months 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.
reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 5 months ago
“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 5 months 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.

My gender is attack helicopter??!!
STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world 5 months ago
All things exist so I don’t understand your point. Btw if you meant sexist then it’s not.
NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I did mean sexist, and it is.
creditCrazy@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Fellas is it sexist to be shy, awkward, boring person to hang around, or have shit luck.

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 5 months 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.

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.

Both were shit.

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!
