You've got to have a good break after Oppenheimer before the Barbie palette cleanser. I looked into seeing Oppy on 15/70 IMAX a second time after seeing it on opening day, but out of the three screens in the UK showing it in that format, all of them are sold out for the next month (excluding maybe the 2-3 worst seats).

I would like to see both films, but the entire #barbenheimer thing is such a gross marketing scheme that they'll probably be out of theaters by the time I've washed the taste out if my mouth

ngl I don't really get this threads extreme distaste for memes like the Gentleminions and wearing pink to Barbie. Sure it's a silly Brand movie and there's no ethical consumption under capitalism but the movie is really just an excuse to do something fun.

Same. Save the ridicule for things like IT’S MORBIN TIME since you can point at the empty theaters and laugh at how that turned out. I think people are less made at the meme itself and more mad that the movie did well and so you can’t point and go SEE SEE IT DIDNT WORK

AFAIK the Minions formal wear thing was just a meme that blew up, it's not like the Barbie vs Oppenheimer thing which is obviously heavily astroturfed. It hits differently when it's a transparent marketing ploy.

the theater i went to see Oppenheimer at wasn't showing Barbie but they worked out a deal with another local theater where if you brought a ticket stub for Barbie from that theater or vice versa you got a free popcorn.

And shouldn't be surprising these people have no concept of levity. Really, Barbieheimer seems like a refreshing contrast to what it mighta been a few decades ago where you'd have an awful battle of the sexes, instead people are having fun with the contrast and how people can and do enjoy different types and tones of entertainment. Same thing with Animal Crossing and Doom Eternal.

I'm pretty sure I started to hear chat from film Twitter-adjacent types about doing a Barbie/Oppenheimer double feature as soon as it was announced the two movies would open on the same date. Hell I recall tweeting something like that myself. I'm sure the studios probably did some work to pump this up but it seems like there was also a base of genuine enthusiasm. (Like it helped that movie buffs were probably interested in Oppenheimer bc Nolan, but were probably also interested in Barbie because there was so much acclaim for Greta Gerwig's last film.) I mean marketing is part of it in that Barbie was genuinely well marketed, more so than a LOT of movies these days. Like sure it has a brand people recognize but it doesn't feel like they fell back on that as readily as, say, "here's Michael Keaton saying 'I'm Batman'!"

Yeah, reports are coming out about Barbie having a 150 million marketing budget (i.e. higher than the actual movie) and they managed to make it a lot less obnoxious than all the Flash crap and flat out bribing people to call it "BEST SHPER HERO MOVIE EVER" on Twitter and expect all their IP vomit to do the rest.

Barbie played into the absurdity of the premise both in marketing and in the movie, and it worked great. Oppenheimer also kept to the tone and played the premise straight. Both movies have immense and clear confidence in their premise with no need to undercut it, and people recognise that.

The Regal Mystery movie yesterday was Gran Turismo and it was actually pretty solid. The audience was really into it, which maybe bodes well for its actual release. People were clapping and poo poo at points in the movie where that would be appropriate. Felt like there were some weird editing/scene structure choices that took me out a little bit, and the racing isn't as well staged as Ford v Ferrari but overall a solid flick. Hope this propels Neill Blomkamp back into the gritty sci fi exploding flesh bags movie universe.

I don't really care if Boppenheimer is "artroturfed" or not, because it's just promoting the abstract concept of a double-feature. Cinema!

Nobody actually "wants" to "have fun" at "the movies", that is capitalist propaganda. There were no movies in the Soviet Union for just that reason.
