@clacke Interesting connection. That said I watched neither. I would be interested in seeing Oppenheimer while it's still in theaters but can wait for crowds to die down. I saw the trailer for Barbie and can't imagine sitting through any more of it than the trailer, but will probably watch it just out of curiosity if it streams on one of my services.

@pjohanneson @clacke Meh, the unwatchable trailer (granted trailers can be a poor representation of a film, but it is their job after all to make one *want* to watch the film) and the immense popularity (I don't always have a good track record with immensely popular films, e.g. Get Out, Parasite, Top Gun Maverick) are a couple of large red flags. Nonetheless I'm sure curiosity will win out and I'll give it a watch if it drops on one of my services!
