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've seen 8/10 of the best pic nominees and would rank them thusly

Zone of Interest > Holdovers > American Fiction > Killers of the Flower Moon > Anatomy of a Fall >>>>> Oppenheimer > Barbie > Poor Things

really really didn't like it (and I've liked pretty much every other yogurt lanthimos joint). one or two-joke movie stretched to agonizing length. rehashed tim burton garbage aesthetic. one-note supporting characters they did nothing with over 140 mins. totally frictionless / conflict-free - everyone loves bella everywhere she goes and the pathetic men are obviously no match. also a small thing but the "means of production" shit was embarrassingly wrong. I did chuckle at willem dafoe saying "cocaine"

didn't like oppy or barbie either but the trinity test was cool and I get nominating big well-liked event movies even if the america farrera monologue made me want to die

Is American fiction really that good? I watched the trailer and I felt like I saw all I needed to

[–] hollowmines@hexbear.net 2 points 9 months ago

It's not a classic or anything (the whole scenario is pretty op only contrived) but it has some solid laughs, decent performances and doesn't overstay its welcome. Obviously the social commentary is limited/lib AF but that comes with the territory. Sterling K Brown is really good and I'd like to see him get Supporting (to the extent that I care).
