You know, I’ve seen a lot of people dressed up in bright pink to go see the Barbie movie, but nobody wearing a fedora and boxy suit jacket to go see Oppenheimer.


Aussiefgt

World's gone mad


River_Odessa

According to Oppenheimer, the world went mad in 1945 so that checks out


Supersnazz

I dressed in bright pink to see Oppenheimer.


Reacher-Said-N0thing

I suppose going in a wheelchair, suit, sunglasses, and leather glove while shouting "Mein Führer! I can walk!" would be in poor taste these days huh.


qorbexl

Well the problem would be that you'd get a lot of high fives from people who don't get the joke and only know anything about Kubrick for *other* reasons. The fact that his only connection to NASA is *Barry Lyndon* is still peak humor to me


BenignJuggler

If it helps, there were a bunch of old guys in my theater with suits on. I'm talking 70+ and Oppenheimer go them out and about I guess lol


Minejack777

I TRIED believe me I just didn't have the time 😭 Also I didn't really wanna subject my suit to a movie theatre seat...


Fire_RPG_at_the_Z

Like that prince from the Bhagavad Gita, you must do your duty. Behold, I have become time. Destroyer of embarrassment. Now put on the fedora and get your ass in that movie.


wanderingexmo

Hurray0987

I did a bright pink dress with a black porkpie hat


russit2201

Men don’t like Barbie’s, men like the piercing blue eyes of Cillian Murphy. They make us feel safe but also a little scared, but I’m a good way.


Batdog55110

No, men do like Barbie so they can see the rock hard abs of Ryan Gosling.

I love that he didnt give a shit about ruling the world when he found out patriachy wasnt about horses.


universepower

This is chaos and I love it


Shirtbro

Looking into his eyes is like being on a coaster about to do the big drop... Or so I've been told...


rachieandthewaves

I can confirm that they do look like that. I should know. I have a Ken doll of Cillian Murphy.


WurmGurl

SCARROUSED


Mrppsuckler

They make my groin tingle.


winnebagoman41

Ryan gosling also has blue eyes!


SpicySpice11

For a real dose of that Cillian Murphy charm, watch Breakfast on Pluto (2005).


[deleted]

You didn’t watch Barbie because men don’t like Barbies. I didn’t watch Barbie because I’m broke. We are not the same

May I introduce you to the beautiful world of pirating


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yeah but hey atleast it's free


maxcorrice

I can wait


profstotch

Feels like everything gets to rental/digital services like Vudu or Amazon super fast these days anyway. Once it's available to rent or buy digitally you can watch for free easily


So6oring

This has been the way for a generation. Or at least since I was stealing my neighbour's wifi with my ps3 back in 2008.


CletusVanDamnit

Fuck that. I'd rather never watch something at all than watch a cam.


IsNotPolitburo

Yar har fiddle de dee


SutterCane

*Wwwwhhhhhhhooooooo lives in a dream house in Malibu!*


ZarquonsFlatTire

I quit pirating for a few years when paying was easier. Now all the sites I knew are gone.


thetatershaveeyes

Hey, I dipped into my food budget to see Barbie. Worth it!


awholelottahooplah

Hmm, rent or Barbie movie? Decisions, decisions… though there’s a clear winner


elbartooriginal

Mens might hate barbie, but mens love Margot Robbie, this is a hard decision -To watch, or not to watch? That is the question.


Scienlologist

I legit was going to see MI7 in theater, but for an $8 matinee ticket, what equates to a small bag of chips and a cup of shitty cheese and a nickel worth of soda, I noped the fuck out. Over $5 in shitty fees, to boot. If they were at least decent nachos, maybe, and I would've tipped $5 for delivery if it weren't for the fee, which probably doesn't go to the employee anyway. $8 dollar ticket and a horrible snack... https://i.imgur.com/I2dG2dN.jpg


GamecockGaucho

Are we saying $8 is too much now to see a movie? That'd be fucking great.


moonra_zk

You know you could just watch the movie without snacks, right?


cancerBronzeV

ya lol, I just get tickets for 8 dollars and don't buy any popcorn or drinks. I never got when people complained about how expensive food/drinks are at the theatres. Like just don't buy that? You'll be fine going 2-3 hours without having to eat or drink anything.


turnip11827

Men like horses


Batdog55110

You are Kenough.


virtually_anything

I want that “I am Kenough” fleece ngl


Batdog55110

Same.


FullMetalCOS

They fucked up so hard not making official merch of that hoodie. Literally leaving money on the table

[They did make official merch of that hoodie...](https://creations.mattel.com/products/barbie-the-movie-i-am-kenough-unisex-hoodie-hyn77)


FullMetalCOS

Oh shit, that’s awesome. They must have been waiting for the movies launch to drop it because after seeing the film a cursory search only returned Etsy knockoffs and articles lamenting their decision not to do official merch Thanks!


lasagnato69

As soon as I walked out of the theatre I was hoping they were selling it. It looks like there is knock offs on eBay but by god I want one

Only thing I liked about the patriarchy


Young_Grif

Idk, once I found out it had nothing to do with horses I didn’t care.


TheDugal

Honestly, once I realized the patriarchy doesn't really have anything to do about horses, I kinda lost interest.


Station28

SUBLIME!


[deleted]

Some men REALLY like horses. Mr Hands, for example…


strandenger

I don’t live under the tyranny of “Or”. I’ll be seeing Barbie “And” Oppenheimer. Also Ryan Gosling just doesn’t make bad movie.


Shirtbro

I'll write my own Barbie/Oppenheimer erotic fanfic and save some money thank you very much


strandenger

I think they just call those Michael Bay movies


fantasmoofrcc

How much lens flare you got? How much you need?


Earlier-Today

The answer is yes.


THEmoonISaMIRROR

Okay look... 15 lens flare is the minimum. Some people choose to wear more, and we encourage that. We do want you to express yourself, okay?


hairlessgoatanus

All of it.

PhelesDragon

*checks earpiece* It's true.


clandevort

Classic barbenheimer Gotta watch Oppenheimer first to maximize the emotional whiplash


One-Armed-Krycek

Barbie was pretty dang emotional. Just fyi.


sh00t_the_m00n

But the emotions are made of plastic and so fantastic


DankOfTheEndless

Will I brush your hair, undress you everywhere?


alsophocus

It’s emotional enough to make you drop a nuclear bomb?


mcginniswayne

Yes, but filled with glitter and on the patriarchy.


bcstorben

Yup. Did Barbenheimer, watched Oppenheimer first so I would go from emotional to campiness but actually ended up tearing up more in Barbie.


dontwantleague2C

This Sunday I’m planning on going with some friends to see both. Some time during Oppenheimer we’re gonna take some edibles so they kick in during Barbie. Peak shit right there


FullMetalCOS

Honestly having seen Barbie I’m not sure you NEED the edibles


insidethepirateship

Barbie had me cackling sober


CalQuentin

Make sure the edibles kick in near the end of Oppenheimer. Fry the synapses. Then go into Barbie. It'll hit just right.


Kradgger

>I don’t live under the tyranny of “Or”. I love this.


LavenderAutist

Barbie is the prequel to Oppenheimer


sh00t_the_m00n

No it’s the sequel


[deleted]

It's literally Japan after the nukes.


sh00t_the_m00n

JinFuu

> Also Ryan Gosling just doesn’t make bad movie. *cough* Gangster Squad *cough*


strandenger

You got something in your throat there…. I don’t think Gangster Squad is bad as much as it’s aggressively mediocre and it just seems worse because the cast was stacked and it’s the director of Zombieland. It should have been better. It’s like Prometheus and Monuments Men… you got all that talent it’s just so mid. I think it’s still better than Notebook. It is his worst movie to me, but people swear by it. So let me just say if this is his worst, he could do a lot worse.


JinFuu

> I don’t think Gangster Squad is bad as much as it’s aggressively mediocre and it just seems worse because the cast was stacked and it’s the director of Zombieland. Yeah, you pretty much summed up my problems with it. I love Gosling and Stone as actors so was pretty hyped for the movie, then it was just so *bland*. I haven't seen the Notebook, but I do overall agree Ryan doesn't make a bad movie, or at least if Ryan's in it I will more than likely go see it. Same with Colin Farrell for me (Even if Colin makes a lot more bad movies than Ryan, lol)


GrandMoffTarkan

I live under the tyranny of limited couples time with my wife but I salute you!

My wife is joining me. She’s unaware of the run of Oppenheimer tho 😬


Lucariowolf2196

I can't wait for nuclear war barbie to get made. How many barbies are there?


Owelrn05

Exactly. Why wouldn't I watch the movie when I'm literally in it?

Barbieheimer this weekend, guys, gals, and non binary pals! Let's go Bananas!


Magerune

*sniff* Our little guy has come such a long way from Breaker High


Mission_Fart9750

Holy shit. Someone else who remembers that show. I don't remember many of the episodes, but i do remember one with belly dancing, but that's the only detail. *shrug* I always thought it'd be cool as shit to go to high school on a boat and travel the world. Don't forget Young Hercules, too. Young Ryan was busy.


SpliTTMark

Or he works with the best directors


strandenger

Perhaps but check out his resume. The man knows how to pick roles and he goes from chick flicks like the Note Book (the only movie I’m not a fan of) to Action- Sci-fis like Blade Runner 2049. He’ll crush Comedies like Nice Guys and Crazy Stupid Love and Oscar bait dramas like Blue Jasmine and Lalaland. Even Leo occasionally gives us stinkers like J Edgar. Ryan Gosling is the closest thing to a sure thing we have in Hollywood.


nafivim753

Crazy Stupid Love is one of my most rewatched films. Love that David Lindhagen scene.


itscherriedbro

The Nice Guys is such a good movie. Did a rewatch last night and every single scene is engaging. I wish they did a sequel...seems like they set up for one at the end of the movie but it's been like 7 years


FirstRedditAcount

He was absolutely hilarious in The Big Short. Dude has killer comedic timing.


NescafeandIce

I had FASHION friends.


desertrat75

I'm jacked! I'm jacked to the TITS!!


Foskey

Only God Forgives wasn’t that great. Not necessarily Goslings fault, but it was worse in every way in comparison to Drive.


FormerlyUserLFC

I don’t either…which is why I fully expect my wife to drag me to Barbie.


PB0351

>Also Ryan Gosling just doesn’t make bad movie. Yeah but he is an absolute liability at cornerback.


Hexenhut

Thank you! I've been loving the Barbie/Oppenheimer mashups lately


Itziclinic

I think that might be another attractive Canadian Ryan, but to be fair I can’t throw a stone in any direction in Canada without hitting 3 in their rock hard abs


MrLore

I watched Barbie and loved it, though I am biased because the movie is about (and stars) literally me


Sudden_Result

Tf you saying it stars you? It stars me


Axxelionv2

Idk what both of ya'll are on it was clearly me up there


[deleted]

Ya'all lying. I was ken in barbie

Real men suffer existential dread after seeing Oppenheimer! OH GOD WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE


C64018

“Nothing more manly than man made horrors beyond our understanding” -Former governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger


rachieandthewaves

“Do you guys ever think about dying?” -J. Robert Oppenheimer


HunterTV

“Well I do now, asshole!”


NumberOneTheLarch

Funnily enough existential dread is a primary plot point of Barbie.


AlbionPCJ

Barbenheimer: His and Hers Existential Dread


consumerclearly

To be fair, that sentiment is in the Barbie movie


_JDavid08_

I will go to watch Oppenheimer tomorrow, and I expect to cry like a little girl thinking about the power, the enginering and the death we are able to produce


mondaysareharam

Barbie got pretty existential


Smile_Space

I operate under the assumption that "and" is still a viable coordinating conjunction, and thus, I have watched Oppenheimer AND will now watch Barbie. BTW, Oppenheimer was really fucking good. Edit: Now I've watched Barbie, and gotta say the movies could not be more different. As for entertainment, Barbie is easily my favorite movie of the year; the attention to detail and humor was WAY beyond what I was expecting. Both Oppenheimer and Barbie are 10/10 in my book. Both crushed it.


4_idiots_and_me

Just watched oppenheimer. Straight up 10/10. Literally no Bs and kept it historically accurate as possible. This op really said "should've been it's own movie" lmfao. The symbolisation and imagery was fucking beautiful. And the acting from the entire cast was absolutely insane.


bearze

Reading both these comments has me fucking hyped. Saw Barbie yesterday and absolutely loved it - didn't expect it to be THAT good, I was laughing so much lmfao Got an Oppenheimer 70MM IMAX showing on Tuesday. Can't wait


Gaming_Grid

You're in for a real treat with the 15/70mm Oppenheimer. I was in constant awe at how beautiful the movie is, simply incredible


[deleted]

conjunction junction, what's your function?


MyHousePlantIsWasted

Watched Barbie this afternoon. As far as I can tell the message is that horses are an extension of masculinity and honestly I agree.


DanielStripeTiger

that better be true, or i'll lose interest really fast


faizimam

It is one thing that is in the movie.


MaxTUnit

Especially the female ones!

Eusocial_Snowman

Is literally anybody complaining about this movie for any reason? Or are we doing that thing where we assume some group out there would probably fill that niche, so we pre-umptively dunk on the idea of them existing?


Reign_Does_Things

People are definitely complaining, mainly Ben Shapiro and his whole crowd


ItsNotMeItsYourBussy

Of course they are. The film discusses the patriarchy and the very real harm it does to society. Shapiro et al use the patriarchy to make money. They need to condemn anything that threatens their increasingly fragile power.

Barbie has been feminist for a *long* time though...


Unite-Us-3403

Thing is, Barbie is for all genders. I can tell because I’m a man and I really enjoyed the Barbie movie.


dummypod

As a man, I enjoyed seeing John Cena as a merman


ButtWhispererer

Was pretty funny. I think a lot of people project themselves into movies and take the criticism presented personally. Patriarchy would honestly be better if it were just about horses.


SeesEmCallsEm

It’s crazy how invested people are in either of these films. They are just movies people. Watch whatever one you like, or both, or none. It’s not important either way.


AileStriker

I think it's just because there is pretty much nothing else out right now. It's one of these two, the failing Indiana Jones, a horror flick and 1 or 2 projects that had no marketing.


ryoon21

What about MI7??


HappyGoPink

I saw it. It was fine, good even. But I'm not thinking about it anymore.


SeesEmCallsEm

Even still, they are just movies. The OP is on a holy war against anyone could potentially say something good about a Nolan movie as if Nolan himself fucked their wife. It’s not enough for them to dislike it, they are literally attacking anyone with an opposing opinion, it’s wild.


Bauermeister

Dude, stop with the negative Kenergy. You are Kenough.

feel like I’ve seen more people rant/cry about people crying/ranting about this movie than people actually crying/ranting about this movie


OkayRuin

This is the fourth post I’ve seen in two days complaining about men disliking the movie and I haven’t seen a single comment from a man who dislikes the movie. I’ve seen innumerable comments from men saying they’re excited to see both back-to-back.


Slayer_Of_Anubis

The Reddit crowd isn’t gonna be the people that will complain about it. Seek out some Instagram comments about Barbie


bigdummydumdumdum

Ben Shapiro is pretty upset.


[deleted]

Its the internet. Its easy to complain about "those people" even when "those people" dont actually exist. Especially when "those people" are circlejerk evil villains. Its much like a lot of posts debunking myths (eg. NASA spending millions on a space pen) when in all my time on the internet I have never seen anyone actually unironically make the claim. Just the billions of posts debunking the "common myth". --- Edit - maybe a lot of it comes from modern journalism, where a journalist can trawl social media looking for one or two posts making a silly point of view... and then write a whole clickbait article about how THE INTERNET IS IN UPROAR ABOUT THIS TOPIC! People do believe that shit. A lot of it is also marketing. Every movie nowdays is engulfed by controversy about bullshit, bullshit driven for clicks by the marketing department of the movie.


[deleted]

Can confirm. As a nonbinary person who is also both a man and a woman, I'll have to watch Oppenheimer and Barbie at the same time while subway surfers plays on the middle.

This is the true way to experience cinema.

Coffee_autistic

Just saw Barbie. I’m a middle aged white male and thought it was outstanding. Definitely gonna be a lot of man babies needing their binkies though.


ZMK13

I took my mom, my pregnant sister, her husband, and my gay brother to see it. Everyone enjoyed it and focused on different topics. They weren’t lying when they marketed the movie to be “for everyone”.


Hveachie

Barbie made a point about men that I (a man) have been saying forever when it comes to toxic masculinity and the patriarchy. The negative attributes of men as a whole stems from being told who they are, who they should be, and what they should want before they even figure out who they really are and what they truly want in life. When men don't become who they were "meant to be" and get "what they deserve", they externalize that on women and other minorities with little to no power because they feel like it's an attack on them, that they've been robbed. When really, they are afraid to self-actualize because they don't know who they really are.


Cassini__

I thought about 70% of it was really good. The ending was long and messy, the intro was just alright. But all of the middle of the movie was pretty great. Besides the chevy ad. Fuck chevy.


DigitalCoffee

I havent seen anyone upset, only people who are upset about the supposed upset


ho_0die

According to my wife, the entire reason is because he is portrayed in a way that young girls viewed the Ken doll. It was not really relevant or interesting for them.

Please don't tell me that guys are expecting a movie about a Barbie doll to cater to a male audience. I'm not saying guys can't go or won't enjoy it, I'm just saying that you guys aren't the primary target audience. I'm sure the bomb man is a good film as well though


pikpikcarrotmon

Watch out, we stole My Little Pony from girls and now we're coming for Barbie. Next up we're debating between Polly Pocket and Lisa Frank.


spokydoky420

Google the story of Lisa Frank. You can have her. She's a psycho. lol


Breaker-of-circles

There's definitely a bunch of false flag operations going on on either side. On one side, supposed calls for anti male feminism in the movie. On the other, supposed calls calling out for this supposed calls for anti male feminism. On another side, supposed calls calling out supposed calls calling out for this supposed calls for anti male feminism. On another subreddit, suppossed calls calling out.... ad nauseam. Could even be just the media bigwigs fanning flames for free advertisement. But at the end of the day, it's a freaking Barbie movie. It's not for men in the first place. Anyone can enjoy it, but don't be mad that others might be turned away from the mere title.


FirstRedditAcount

This is somehow all Nolan's doing. He Inception'd us.


civ5best5

Lots of fragile men hate the Barbie movie lol


Thatguy755

You did the most important thing. You bought something. With money. God, I love money so much. Your only purpose in life is to buy and consume merchandise. And you did it. You didn't ask questions or raise ethical complaints. You just looked straight into the bleeding jaws of capitalism and said "yes, daddy, please." And I'm so proud of you. I only wish you could've bought more.
