(OT) What's your Plan: Nukes, Pink, or Both?

Hugely-anticipated weekend at the silver screen.  Last time we had a collision of counter-programming like this was The Dark Knight against Mama Mia!  (yes, another Nolan film).

Anyone planning to see both Oppenheimer and Barbie this weekend?  On the same day, even?

Raises my hand.  On Friday night, we have 6:20 pm tickets to Oppenheimer then 10:10 pm tickets to Barbie (same theatre, different rooms).  Question, do we need to walk out the exit lane and circle around to have our tickets scanned again?  Which we probably have to do anyway, the food is "outside" the ticketed area and I seriously am going to need a caffeinated product in our half-hour between films.  "Does that come in an I.V. bag?"

I mean, who doesn't want three hours of nuclear incineration topped off by two hours of pink happiness.

Hard for me to get interested in a movie about something I learned about in school.  Like a dramatic interpretation of the development of the atomic bomb just doesn't seem interesting to me at all.  I know what's going to happen! I'd much rather pick up a book with fresh research/insight into it.

Barbie could be fun though, I certainly would have no idea what comes next!  But i generally don't like movies, so idk probably shouldn't have commented here lol

I'm seeing both this weekend.  I opted for Barbie first.  I see that tomorrow at 4:00 and Oppenheimer on Friday at 2:30.  I'm just more invested in Barbie.  I trust Greta Gerwig, especially after Ladybird and Little Women.  

 

Of course, I see most movies anyway, but this is a huge weekend with a number of Oscar nominations on the line I think.
