TheNewGirl 1,342 Posted July 24, 2023 I likely won't see Barbie until I rent it from home at 4.99. I heard it was more for adults, not kids and incredibly "woke." I would like to go see Oppenheimer, but I really really hope they got the historical parts correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 14,915 Posted July 24, 2023 Oppenheimer is a serious movie. Then I read about some controversy over sex scenes. What does that have to do with anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I have heard, there is a bit of male full frontal, more than is needed? Not sure, I haven't really looked into what the scenes are or why. Maybe Oppenheimer liked to be nude while building the bomb? Perhaps it's where the term Fat Man came from? (I know it's not). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s just dumb. And I say this with confidence having not seen it. Makes me think it’s not all that great but we are being told it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought inception and batman were decent, slightly above average movies. Definitely overrated, but not bad. Did not really like the other movies and will not watch this one. I will probably watch Barbie with my wife eventually though, it is difficult finding movies/tv shows to watch together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawkeye21 2,380 Posted July 24, 2023 I think the vast majority go to the movies to be entertained and Barbie appeals to a much wider demographic. I don't think it's that surprising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it's that surprising. as i say, i think the future of movie theaters is as an amusement park ride like the Simpsons ride at Universal Studios Hollywood. No more actors, no more plot, no more story. Just have this big dome and project a 3D carnival ride at people. Shake their seat. Spray them with water. Charge $50. Every movie house can run 3 of them. Change the theme out every few weeks. Done. The cinemas will still exist long after the production companies go bankrupt. They just convert to their own produced material. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, and Barbie was 1 hour shorter. A different demographic that isn't split between 5 films doesn't hurt, either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terrible is a strong word for it. But definitely didn't think it was all that great. The whole concept was dumb in my opinion. I think Damon is a solid actor and seems to be getting better. Affleck was terrible in it and his acting was and still isn't very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
