Barbenheimer...totally-not-a-review with spoilers

Do you guys ever think about dying?

A week ago I saw Barbie and yesterday I saw Oppenheimer. I really liked both. I knew I'd like Oppenheimer because I'd been eagerly waiting for it since last year but Barbie turning out to be a good movie was a complete surprise.

I went to see Barbie with my mom; it was her initiative actually (or I would've waited for the movie to come out...online :3). We both liked it a lot,,,except I took issue with two jokes, but I'll elaborate on those in a bit.

When I initially heard about this movie—years ago when they were filming—I wasn't impressed nor excited and I thought it wouldn't be worth watching; I didn't think anyone could possibly come up with a good story. Then this year suddenly everyone was talking about how great it is and how it's a must-watch. And then my mom was like, "Let's go see it!" So I went and, well, wow!

Okay, now onto Oppenheimer. We went with both my parents. It was just gonna be my dad and me initially but then my mom expressed a desire to come after hearing good reviews.

I expected it to be good and it was good. I don't have too much to say here. I'm not sure how true to reality it is and I'm not all that great at phsysics (not that the movie requires it) so I wouldn't know if something was egregiously wrong. Hearing that Oppenheimer wasn't as good at math as colleagues in the field wanted/expected him to be was nice for me personally, because I have math-related trauma.

There's one scene that really struck me.
( retelling the scene with direct quotes and some more thoughts )

I was looking to have a good time with these movies and I did, so mission accomplished. Now to pick what movie I'll watch next...probably not at the cinema though. (It's very likely it might be Hypnotic with Ben Affleck, who I'm still into because I can't get over his Bruce Wayne.)
