Finished Everything Everywhere All at Once. I didn’t expect it to live up to the hype, but it did. An intelligent, genuinely fun movie with heart. 100% recommend.

I knew literally nothing about that movie going into it, hadn’t even seen a trailer, I’d assumed based on the title that it was one of those schmaltzy “teenager dating a girl with cancer” Oscar bait movies or something like that.

it kicked rear end, really glad my sister got me to see it

I enjoyed Oppenheimer a lot, didnt feel like a drag at all even though there was a couple dozing off right next to us. The score and dialogue gets to be a bit much especially in the final third but overall it's a well made, historically accurate biopic. Massive props for portraying Strauss and Teller as complete assholes.

Oppenheimer quoting the Bhagavad Gita during the sex scene was so loving bad

it was great but yeah there are some heinous Nolanisms in there.
loved that one side character (don't think they even had a name) who said every single line in a dead monotone full of dramatic pauses, speaking the wisdom of a prophet who has already read the wikipedia page about the oppenheimer hearings

lol is that the level of social commentary ive been hearing about

there's also a scene right next to it where a man sexistly explains The Godfather to a woman lol.
For some reason screenwriters seem to be really weirdly fixated on this scenario where someone sexistly explains The Godfather, they had a scene like this in White Lotus too and it was so weird and out of place.

the movie was mostly fun and hilarious but there were a handful of parts like that where they just turn to the camera and say something really weird and specific that only screenwriters who are addicted to social media will understand or give a poo poo about

Barbie is a very fun movie with lots of great jokes and performances, it’s a blockbuster with actual set design in the year 2023, and it’s just very well made and visually appealing. But the “social commentary” is scattershot and its core message is very muddled as a result of not wanting to be too subversive of the Barbie brand.
The big point that the movie tries to make is that women shouldn’t be saddled with expectations of being perfect and excellent at everything, they should be allowed to just be normal, flawed people. Which is a fine message but they don’t actually commit to it, at the end of the movie the status quo of Barbie’s world has barely changed aside from them being nicer to the “ugly” Barbie, otherwise it’s still a fantasy utopia where every woman is unrealistically perfect and excellent at everything.

do the barbies actually crush a ken rebellion and make no changes whatsoever to the barbie/ken dichotomy or were people on twitter just getting overexcited

yes this is literally what happens. the movie even goes out of its way to say that the Kens still have no legal or political power whatsoever, it's very weird.

I In Barbie, when the women are in charge, Ken is not subjected to cruelty, pain, or servitude—only indifference. Ken still gets to hang out with his friends and can basically do whatever he wants. It’s just that Barbie doesn’t spend much time thinking about him, or what he’s doing, or what he cares about—because the little girls who play with Barbie don’t.

I mean the problem here is the movie overtly draws a parallel between the Kens being treated as accessories and women being treated as accessories and it even half-heartedly admits that the Kens were being mistreated and objectified. The movie is just really confused about what it wants its metaphor to be.
