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.

The movie about having sex with a mental toddler?

Thats not actually what its about! Stop getting your takes from puritanical zoomers on social media.

I saw it just a few days ago. The premise of the movie is that an infant's consciousness is placed in an adult women's body. At the time when she is taken to Portugal by the lawyer, she walks, talks, acts, and has the motor and social skills of a toddler.

It's wild that people defend the premise of the movie. It's literally just the opposite of the terrible anime trope where an adult woman's mind inhabits a child's body.

Like I get that the movie has a message it's supposedly trying to convey, but when you spend 142 minutes glamorizing how sexy it is to fuck Emma Stone (who is developmentally a child according to the plot) then it doesn't matter what the other message is

Editing to add more thoughts. I understand that the men in the film were antagonists and bad people for taking advantage of Emma Stone's character. My issue with the movie is that you should not glamorize the Bad Thing that you are trying to criticize. If you spend the entire runtime showing how fun and hot it is to fuck Emma Stone, people are going to walk away from the movie thinking "damn I wish that were me fucking her!", not "what a wonderful deconstruction of the 'born sexy yesterday' trope, I think I'll donate money to a women's shelter now"

Nothing about it was meant to be sexy lol. It was incredibly awkward and clearly intended to be fucked up, and a commentary on how shitty, controlling, and shallow the men around her were.

If you think the film was showing things in the light you’re describing, it’s more of a self-report than anything else lol.
