Yeah. Thats what I guessed.

And I clicked the "show spoiler" thing, and learned that I was either ...right or wrong. Dont wanna be a spoiler.

Still have not seen Oppenheimer.

I am familiar with the story about Robert Oppenheimer and the creation of the atomic bomb. I've watched documentaries. Sad to say, the primary reason I will pay to see this three hour movie is because I want to know how Richard Feynman is depicted. I know he's there. It's in the IMDB, but it could be as small as "This is Richie Feynman. He's doing math stuff."

Ever since the late 1980s when I saw my first documentary about Richard Feynman on PBS I have found him interesting. I've watched all the documentaries I could find, and all the reading all the books that Richard or Ralph Leighton wrote. I'm not as laser beam focused on Richard any more, but when something comes out, I like to read or watch it. So I want to see Oppenheimer for one man that demonstrated how insecure the documents were by picking the locks to the filing cabinets where they were stored. Maybe that's in the movie, or that when he road into town to visit his wife Arline in the hospital, he rode with the man that was selling secrets. I think that's true (???). I'm not going to fact check that. That is rabbit hole/tangent territory.

I saw Barbie about two weeks ago. I've posted this elsewhere, but didn't see it because of Barbie. I watched it because Greta Gerwig wrote (with her husband) and directed it. I've liked the other films she has written and directed.

Despite my earlier assertion I have now seen Barbie, but not yet Oppenheimer.

Barbie was good, it's a smart movie.

The lead role in Oppenheimer is Cillian Murphy & I really liked him in Peaky Blinders, so I will go for that one.

Out of the 2 I went to see Barbie. And I loved it.

I played with Barbie dolls as a kid in the 80s and when I saw that the logo was in the 80s font, I knew this film was for me.

As a single aspie woman I really liked the controversial end. Some of us need to find out own destiny and we don't fit the mould. It's not a kids movie, but I wish I'd had more of this positive you can be by yourself and be happy stuff as a child.

To be honest I was disappointed with the end of the litte Mermaid when I saw it in the cinema in 1988. I had a book of the story and I liked the sad ending.

Barbie at least has a happy ending.

All the men moaning about the Ken portrayal don't understand that we didn't play with Ken. He was superfluous and that's reflected in the set up of Barbieland. It's just how we played.

I'm glad he got to find himself and his own destiny because he was hard done by all us girls. He does deserve more. We don't hate Ken, we just overlooked him. We don't hate men, we just need to find ourselves first. We all do, men and women.

Only movie I wanted to see this year was Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and I was NOT disappointed. Barbie and Oppenheimer both seemed equally boring to me.

I just watched Barbie. I enjoyed it. I found it clever.

I just watched Oppenheimer.

It brought back some chilling memories of my career in the federal civil service. I had a Q clearance and everything.

The s**t going around was non-stop. You really had to watch your back at all times.
