the cure to self-sabotage is to anchor yourself to the universal truth that you are worth it. you are worth the effort. you are worth the difficulty, you are worth the time, you are worth the consideration. there is never a point in your life, in time itself, that you are not worth it. return to this truth when you feel yourself slipping. do not let it go.
We went to see Barbie last night and at one part in the movie where it got super quiet, you could hear a bomb go off and shake the walls from the theater next to us because they were watching Oppenheimer. The way everyone started laughing💀
Shout-out to the old man who wore pink shorts and a big Malibu barbie shirt and a pink hat with a blonde barbie wig at my showing of Oppenheimer.
He was either coming from barbie or going to barbie afterwards but either way I respect the commitment.
thinking about the scene in barbie where she asks for permission to be herself and she's told she doesn't need permission, and no one can give her permission for that, because it's just something you start doing
thinking about the scene in barbie where they say you don't need to be exceptional to have worth and deserve love, because just getting through the day is often hard enough
also thinking about the scene in barbie where barbie tells a bunch of construction workers she doesn't have a vagina and the construction workers who have no context beyond her being a pretty girl are like "oh okay that's cool"
is anyone actually surprised that they tried to cut one of the best (if not the best) and most significant scenes of the whole movie (x)
Humans only have one ending. Ideas live forever ✨💧💖
Oppenheimer is simply brilliant. Give Nolan, and Murphy their Oscars now. Obviously such a harrowing subject, but it was an amazing film.
Also idk maybe it was too subtle but. when oppenheimers wife takes him by the shoulders and says, “stop trying to make people pity you for the sins you committed” like. I just kind of figured that was a pretty explicit indictment of his actions and makes me struggle to take the “Oppenheimer is just a movie about a sad white mans feelings” arguments in good faith.
My opinions on Oppenheimer after misbooking my Barbie tickets and being forced to do a solo movie instead of a double feature with the movie of the year no im not bitter
- Tom Conti really nailed Albert Einstein as a tired math grandpa who kind of just ended up being there instead of directly contributing
- why did they put *that line* (y'all know what im talking about) in *that scene*????
- I was incredibly surprised that Nolan used Oppenheimer's political leanings and the McCarthyism era U.S politics as the vocal point of the movie. It was really interesting to see be played out as honestly as I think it could have.
- Drake, where is the activation button for the Trinity Project?
- Kitty is the ideals of Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss and she deserved so much better (me. Kitty should have married me.)
- Cillian Murphy had such babygirl energy the entire time. Literally, he convinced Grove to fund not only the entire project but also an entire town and also bring in his "formerly" communist brother in by batting his eyes and saying pwetty pwease and I love him for that.
- Strauss using his power as a politian to completely ruin Oppenheimer in a sham meeting that was nowhere near truthful or fair to the man because he was embarrassed at a meeting and paranoid about Einstein being turned against him (because he didn't smile at him or some shit idk) was such peak political behavior that was played as childish and petty as it truly was IRL
- Oppenheimer trying to poison his tutor for being a Class A dick then regretting it a day later and tossing away the apple was actually such good foreshadowing to his later feelings about the A Bombs
