I had no shame about choosing Barbie over Oppenheimer. Other than the Batman movies and Memento, I find Nolan's movies confusing and way too long. I loved the Barbie movie. I think it's a problem when we want art or the media to say EVERYTHING and bash it when it doesn't. Isn't it great that some subjects were touched on and that it was put out there? Wouldn't you rather have something than nothing? Of course it's not perfect. I had a great time though. I laughed and cried and Greta Gerwig has now grossed the most of any female director. That's something.
"I did have a moment thinking about Oppenheimer as qualifying for a membership in al-anon, and that was interesting, but I don’t want my mind to be the most interesting thing in the theater. Sigh. Like Oppenheimer, I’m oppressed by my own genius." OMG I AM DYING - this is gold
Ugh yes Oppenheimer was SO BORING MY GOD. After seeing it I too read the rapturous reviews using words like “riveting” and “engrossing” and felt insane so THANK YOU
Thank you. I hate three hour movies cuz life and also I think it’s too much ego. I shall not see Oppenheimer because you did and now I don’t have to lol. More Michelle gifts to the universe. Barbie was pretty great right?
This is the best review ever, assumed l would hate Oppenheimer - thank you for confirming my assumption without have to sit through the thing. Will book Barbie - from the trailer l feel seen in Weird Barbie.

Loved reading your hot takes on Floppenheimer, your irritation with predictable critiques on Barbie and finding out your love for RDJ <3
I love your take on the Barbie movie!
