Poor Nolan. He insisted on releasing his last movie when no one would go to theaters…and now he’s gonna get crushed by Barbie. I dig his movies (well…not the last one so much) but the man has to get smarter about release strategy

It’s not official unless she gets tied to rock and thrown in a pond like we did in the 80’s

I was too tired last night to find this thread after I got home from Barbie+Oppenheimer, but yes. Loved the movie, and Ryan as Ken was so, so good. Looking forward to it coming out on digital so I can watch it a few more times.

Wanted to see it yesterday but decided to delay to Thursday, planning to see both it and Oppenheimer then.

I dig his movies (well…not the last one so much) but the man has to get smarter about release strategy That's why I'm not mad at WB doing him dirty. Him trying to force us to go to theaters during a pandemic pre-vaccine wasn't a good look and made him sound pretentious for a damn action movie.

I get it if he was angry about getting screwed over on money and WB should have made him whole there, like Disney with Scarlett. But crying about his art having to be seen on the big screen while a pandemic rages just shows how out of touch he is. If he cared about his art being seen he would want it to be as accessible as possible.

Margot slayed of course. America Ferrera with a surprise elbow drop off the top rope amazing film-stealing scene. And of course Ryan Gosling with a perfect Ken out of Ken performance. Dude just excels in comedy that somehow makes his dramatic acting(which is really good) look drab in comparison.

Poor Nolan. He insisted on releasing his last movie when no one would go to theaters…and now he’s gonna get crushed by Barbie. I dig his movies (well…not the last one so much) but the man has to get smarter about release strategy $30 million on a single day for an R rated biopic is pretty good. The theatre was packed. They were limited on the amount of showtimes because it’s three freakin hours. You find out in the first two minutes it jumps around between time periods (his life and two different hearings) and (spoiler alert: the bomb works) then your stuck with the less interesting hearings and there’s forty minutes left to go. It was a good film but it didn’t need to be that long. It was well directed, acted, looked beautiful, but at the end of the day it’s a bio pic. Nolan is a fantastic director if not a little pretentious, but it was definitely missing the wow factor that make his films great (time travel, magic, space, dreams or freakin Batman, here we had a man with trench coat and hat.) the film will be nominated for a ton of a awards but just go see Barbie instead.

Everyone should watch “The Nice Guys” for his performance alone.

Barbie's apparently done over $300 million worldwide so far. It keeps doing this well and it will make back all the money WBD lost on the last few DCEU bombs.
