“But it’s hard to picture everything becoming normal in this small town any time soon.”

In year 202?

He has starred in some of the biggest, most memorable, and most money-making movies and franchises in the last forty years.

Honestly I kinda just think I am going to avoid the internet next week because which ever comes out on top the discourse is going to be full of shit and mind numbing

It’s like the fifth highest grossing movie of the entire past decade. And you’re mystified why he gets attention?

Join OUR discussion here, Tom Cruise!

Look, I’m all in favor of this pairing, and I like the fun of it all, but can we stop pretending 20,000 people is actually that big a deal?  Even at inflated ticket prices, that’s not even half a million dollars.  It’s not even a blip on a box office radar.

I suspect most don’t want to sit in a theater for 3 hours without intermission, not to mention the previews. Not sure I’ll watch Barbie at all, probably some day, but I plan to watch Oppenheimer ASAP on streaming.

“These two huge releases that genuinely have nothing to do with each other will be forever linked in the world’s cultural imagination.”

I'm not sure what your bladder has to do with reclining seats. Do you pee in them?

i mean, duh. however, i bet oppenheimer would have probably been a 20-30 million dollar opening without all this. it’s getting a ton of free promo on top of its own very expensive press, plus it’s more than likely a great movie so it’ll have legs.

Unless you’re like me, who plans to see both of them in a double feature.

If Barbie comes out as #1 over the weekend, I suspect we can expect to hear how the movie going public are all a bunch of uneducated, tasteless philistines via a statement by Nolan by next Wednesday.

I don’t think my mom would do that but if she did I’d totally support her.

1955 called, they’re wondering when you’ll be returning the time machine.

Wait. To a LARGE degree. Did he respect her by knocking her up but not marrying her? Ummm, NOPE!

That’s really the point right there. Dude should’ve married her before he knocked her up.

Enjoy being forever alone.

This guy is spouting about values with an out of wedlock bastard child.

I don’t really get this story, and I never have. He signed up to be the number 2 in the relationship. She is way more successful than him, and he was always going to be the one being told what to do.
