   So I couldn't choose between #Barbie and #Oppenheimer.
   Should I watch a show about a plastic doll with impossible beauty standards or the creation of mankind's deadliest weapon?

   Hmmmmmmm. Tough choices!

     @liztai I've seen them both. Barbie is witty, thoughtful. self deprecating, unexpected, interesting and fun. The woman next to me in Oppenheimer fell asleep. I'd go and see Barbie.

     @liztai I haven't seen Oppenheimer, but Barbie is brilliant and fun, if a bit over-the-top and in-your-face. It's also self ironic about the beauty standards thing. So maybe count it as a vote for Barbie, or for the double feature in the Oppie/Barbie order.

     @liztai Barbie is the one I watched twice. Scathing and full of joy. It's not the silly airhead comedy the trailer tells you it is.
