The weekend of the cinematic summer has arrived, as Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer movie -- the great Barbenheiming, as foretold in the old books -- stand imminent. My review of Barbie will be popping up at Pajiba tomorrow I believe, and I will update this post with a link when it has. As for Oppenheimer I have seen it but I haven't figured out what or where or if I am saying something. But stay tuned! I might! And won't that be a thrill for everybody? Until then, as I foretold y'all last week, tomorrow I am leaving for the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, aka the maple syrupy land of Xavier Dolan and, like, mimes? I don't know. Follow me on my socials (probably especially my Instagram) if you want to keep stalkerish track of my every move -- I might post stuff while I'm away since it's technically a "work" trip, but I also might not since I am a lazy piece of shit. I mean I will have several reviews from Fantasia going up over the next couple of weeks, but we'll get to that once we're there. For now y'all just go see some movies this weekend, and support the fine artists who have worked hard to entertain and terrify you. And I will be officially back here in a week!

I jus watched both. Oppenheimer is way, way better by leaps and bounds. I was hanging onto every scene and dialogue. Hopefully it will win some awards along the way. Barbie - a fun movie but it did not resonate with me, the universal message of self-acceptance used too much in too many other movies.
We saw Barbie on Friday night high as fuck and it was great!!!!
I'm looking forward to Barbie but the only G Gerwig movie I liked was Lady Bird.
Frances Ha is so up its own ass, I can't even think about it without getting annoyed.
I expect Barbie will be well thought out and have a good monologue or two, but will be kinda dull overall. Hope to be wrong!
