@hal_5700X @Sans_outside More to the point, it’s right-wingers who are usually complicit in enabling these monsters.

Movies@lemmy.world•Christopher Nolan isn't happy 'Barbie' will premiere the same weekend as his film, 'Oppenheimer,' sources say
1·2 years ago@Odusei He’s got good reason to be. Barbie will negatively impact Oppenheimer’s opening weekend, not to mention Mission : Impossible won’t be doing Nolan any favors either.
@TwoGems @Sans_outside Jim Caviezel has joined Hollywood’s insane asylum where Randy Quaid, Jon Voight, Kevin Sorbo, James Woods and other angry, loudmouth middle-aged racist white men reside.

Movies@lemmy.world•Disney’s Harsh New Reality: Costly Film Flops, Creative Struggles and a Shrinking Global Box Office
1·2 years ago@ikidd @echoplex21 The politics aren’t the problem. Across the Spider-Verse is “woke” as hell and its on the fast track to be the most successful movie ever made. What happened to Indiana Jones is the same thing that happened to the James Bond franchise. What was innovative back then is the same old same old now. Bond got left behind by contemporary spys like Jason Bourne, Ethan Hunt and The Gentlemen. Indy got left behind by action thrillers like The Fast and The Furious and John Wick.

@wilberfan @mancy Oppenheimer represented Nolan’s strengths and weaknesses as a filmmaker.
Nolan has never been afraid to challenge his audience intellectually, so the scenes where smart characters are engaged into rigorous scientific debate is where Oppenheimer works. For audiences who enjoyed Apollo 13, A Dangerous Mind and Hidden Figures, this film fits snugly into that category.
But the characters are outdated stereotypes, especially the women, wasting the talents of Pugh and Blunt.
