Barbie will make money. I went to the theaters to see Mission Impossible and the parking lot is swamped. All the high school and college aged girls have been filling th theater for days to see Barbie. Dressed in pink, all dressed up. Dragging their boyfriends, with super betas showing up to watch it on their own. I have ladies on Facebook who are posting all about it, mothers with daughters, random gals. They are showing up like it is Twilight.

I remember someone speculating that it could be mocking wokeness. How was Oppenheimer?
It is like a lot of Nolan historical movies (a la Dunkirk). I was expecting more about the Manhattan Project, but it is more about his life. And to that end, it jumps around a lot so you do need to be paying close attention. But if you are interested in the man, I do recommend it. And the parts where it did cover the Manhattan Project were interesting. And I do enjoy that they got the physics of a nuke right (which is rare in movies), where you see the blast long before you get hit with the shockwave. So there is an eerie quiet as you are watching the mushroom before everything gets blown over.
He had the one line all the normies know, but was otherwise was the least interesting person working on the project.
The normie line is apparently worth a movie, but if I had to pick a Los Alamos physicist, it would be Richard Feynman not Oppenheimer.
