Barbie vs Oppenheimer

[JimW]

Oppenheimer... hopefully not so many merch opportunities will come out of that one.

Fedora with a jack in the box crown that pops up a mushroom cloud.

Radio controlled Enola Gay model?

Yeah. I would be too. Although it is partly because the message behind it actually is a worthwhile one.

It's a very merch-heavy movie, there's no getting around that. I find it kinda interesting that it's that and genuinely has thoughtful points to make about personal choice.

Not going to cinemas.

Anyone know when / where I could watch Oppenheimer online or if it can be streamed? Or if it will be released on disk soon?

It's only just been released this weekend, give it a chance (for legal options).

I always perfered Barbie in the original sanskrit

Ah I know..
But sometimes they release a film on disk very shortly after it's released in the cinema. I wasn't looking for illegal streams.

 

[neonwilderness]

I’ve not seen either yet, but if this is accurate I’d probably be up for watching both (Oppenheimer first I think)

 

[petee]

did anyone ever see Oppenheimer and Whispers Ditullio together?

Oppenheimer:

Barbie is getting a blu-ray release on January 2 and will probably stream from the same day.

Oppenheimer doesn’t even have a release date that far ahead yet, Nolan really, really, wants a long cinema run, it’s where it demands to be seen.

I went with my daughters and we really enjoyed it. It was lovely to see my 12 year old laugh, she's had a very tough year, and my 15 year old is really into feminism. It was fun.

Guessing this wasn't Oppenheimer

In my head I wrote that it was Barbie.

 

[T & P]

Piers Morgan absolutely hated Barbie. Yet another endorsement

 

[DotCommunist]

Did he really hate it T&P? Or is this another of those opinion he has for money.

Well, I haven't read the article he's written about it, so I couldn't say- but you might be right of course, given the medium the article appears in:

Two pages...

Great pic, though. Tiny Piers popping up beside marvelous Margot.

The first four words of that headline sum up Piers perfectly

What's the political message of Oppenheimer?

[A380]

Traveled 25 mikes to our nearest IMAX. But the projectors broken. So normal projection for Openheimer.

But a later start so time for:

Does it condone or condemn the dropping of the bomb?
Im expecting it tries to remain neutral on it

 

[Jeff Robinson]

The first four words of that headline sum up Piers perfectly

and the sixth.

me neither but peter hitchens said it was soft on the american communist party( CPUSA I assume). Pretty sure this means he wanted the film to say 'Joe McCarthy was righteous and everyone deserved it'

What are you basing your expectation on?

 

[ska invita]

What are you basing your expectation on?

The general underlying blandness of CNs other films and the positive reaction in the media. Not hearing of people walking out of cinemas shocked by the horror

I am highly dubious about Oppenheimer now, after a friend posted a section of dialogue meant to show What a Clever Man He Is:


"I'm not a communist"
"That's because you don't know enough about it"
"I've read all three volumes of Capital: 'ownership is theft'"
"It's 'property is theft', not 'ownership'"
"I read it in the original German."
[looks wisely to the middle distance]

TBF, he was quite clever.

TBF, he was quite clever.

Nolan clearly isn't as clever as he thinks he is though.

We should invite him to join here then. Fit right in,
