I wanna see that! The official "doesn't merit its own thread" movie trailer thread

Oppenheimer was awesome. Great performances, great pacing, underwhelming nudity.

Definitely not your typical Nolan film, but agree it was a great film. Murphy is a great actor. Downey Jr. had a ton of screen time and did really well also.

Strong disagree on the nudity judgement though!

I went to see Barbie as well. I’m not going to offer any disclaimer. I knows a lot of people here have said they will never see it. I’ll tell you it is a lot funnier than those Geico commercials about turning into your parents.


It was a party atmosphere in the theater. Lots of laughing at the funny parts. Definitely need to be in the right mood for the film.

Way too many references to patriarchy so the anti-woke crowd isn’t going to love it. But overall a movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It was done about as well as such a film could be.

Geico commercials last 30 seconds. I would see the Barbie movie if it only lasted 30 seconds and I didn't have to get off my couch to see it.

My daughter wanted to see Barbie, so I went with her Friday night. It's not one I would go to on my own, but it was fun. There were a huge number of people in pink dresses all over the theater., and very much a buzz and party atmosphere.

There were a couple of scenes that I don't think will age well, not in the sense that they are wrong, but that they are SO much a reflection of this moment in time. I think 10 years from now they will really stand out as kind of jarring, and people will be like "Oh, yeah, remember the early 2020s?"

Having said that, as a father of three daughters I always appreciate girl-power messages, and while the movie seemed a bit disjointed at times, it had a lot of fun moments, and it interspersed some silliness with a couple of scenes that were genuinely moving (as well as a couple that kind of clunked).

The cast was generally very good, with the exception IMO being Kate McKinnon. Her character was a funny concept but she never really hit it for me. Also, if you want to see Michael Cera in a fight scene beating a bunch of guys up, here is your chance! (unsurprisingly, he was not extremely believable in that scene).

You couldn’t pay me to go to that movie.

Over on CB, I saw them lamenting that Nolan had gratuitously included nudity in this movie. Makes sense that you're among the first in line.

Best Nolan movie EVER!

I'm a liberal guy, but I'm still confused when it's okay to be a capitalist and when it's not.

Come on. This is you right now:

Ha. OK, Lebron.

That's a fair point. The market for movie tickets is much larger in China than Vietnam. I still think it's a silly thing to get upset over.

Could be, but hollywood does have a track record here. If it is a joke, it is in incredibly poor taste.

Be that as it may, it's a crayon map that doesn't even seem to include Europe. What's really funny is that Ted is railing against the significance of the 9 dashes, which is at the heart of controversy, but the map only has 8 dashes. I like to think that the movie's creators intended that as an ironic joke on a joke.

It actually is. Lots of Asian countries are upset about it, not just Ted Cruz.
