I saw Barbenheimer the weekend it came out. Oppie is overrated as shit. I liked it but Barbie was 3x better. It’s apparent in the way women are written and the fact that Greta, Margot and Barbie are being snubbed for Nolan is a disgrace.

Oppie isn’t even his best work and it sure as shit doesn’t deserve a dozen fucking Oscar noms.

Whatever criticisms you have of Barbie being white/pop feminism are absolutely tossed aside when fucking OPPENHEIMER is the one winning shit. Cmon.

They’re giving noms to Poor Things instead of it as the “feminist” film cuz they’re cowards scared of women succeeding behind the camera in addition to in front of it and in the box office, and they’re horny teens horned up by Emma Stone and enraged Margot didn’t do that.

Edit- And before you come at me, I saw Oppie on proper film. Don’t tell me I didn’t get it or didn’t have a good experience or whatever. I liked it. But Barbie was better.

I liked Poor Things too! It was really funny, beautifully shot, well acted… but it’s clearly an awards/indie film and it getting noms over Barbie which did it all in addition to to having a box office hit is what’s really frustrating.

Ya, it was good too. I think Barbie just did it better while being connected to the real world. 'the point is to change it' and all that.

PT with the fantasy vibes seemed like it wanted to keep the real world at arms length, which kinda dilutes the potent elements of it a bit too much imo. It really is the Oscar bait version of Barbie in many ways.
