I saw Barbenheimer the weekend it came out. Oppie is overrated as shit. I liked it but Barbie was 3x better. It’s apparent in the way women are written and the fact that Greta, Margot and Barbie are being snubbed for Nolan is a disgrace.

Oppie isn’t even his best work and it sure as shit doesn’t deserve a dozen fucking Oscar noms.

Whatever criticisms you have of Barbie being white/pop feminism are absolutely tossed aside when fucking OPPENHEIMER is the one winning shit. Cmon.

They’re giving noms to Poor Things instead of it as the “feminist” film cuz they’re cowards scared of women succeeding behind the camera in addition to in front of it and in the box office, and they’re horny teens horned up by Emma Stone and enraged Margot didn’t do that.

Edit- And before you come at me, I saw Oppie on proper film. Don’t tell me I didn’t get it or didn’t have a good experience or whatever. I liked it. But Barbie was better.

Depicting something is not the same as glamorizing it. If anything, the sex in this film is deeply unsexy

Agreed that depicting something is not the same as glamorizing it. I think a similar piece of media that does a good job of this is Lolita. Even though the story is told from Humbert's biased point of view, it's clear to the reader/viewer that what he's doing is gross because his attraction to a child is only glamorous to him.

Contrast this with Poor Things, where we spend what feels like half the movie focused on Emma Stone's face in ecstasy as she cums, or lingering on shots of her naked having incredible sex or basking in a post-coital glow in scenic settings. I think you're right about a few sex scenes being unsexy (especially in the brothel... but even then, there are scenes like when she tells the priest he "has a gift" for fucking so good and her relationship with her fellow prostitute) but for the most part the sex scenes are really played up to be exciting.

I know people who disagree with you about Lolita, and think all copies should he burned for it lol, which tells me how subjective those kinds of reads are.
