Watched Oppenheimer today. It's a fantastic film. Christopher Nolan is a fucking genius. The way the movie is structured, the quality of scenes, the general feel, everything is so refreshing. It was a revelation when most of the movies releasing are woke shit.

But still barbie gets more popular than Oppenheimer? What? I watched trailers and reviews of barbie and from what I know, it's a woke shit that tells matriarchy is better than patriarchy, with a bit of comedy admittedly. I mean yes they can have their freedom of speech, but how does a film like that shadows a fucking artwork like Oppenheimer? What am I missing?

I was actually talking about you parroting GOP dogwhistles.

But anyway. The reason barbie is outperforming Oppenheimer is that half the population didn't have an Oppenheimer doll for the last 40 years. It's cultural inertia, and while Oppenheimer clearly has a much bigger role in the creation of the modern world barbie has a much bigger role in individual lives.
