But which movie should you see first?
Let Vultures staff walk you through the debate.
.FirstBarbie, ThenOppenheimer
.
Lets not complicate things.
Then, take a break for ice cream to prepare your stomach for your evening withOppenheimer.
(Runtime: three hours and nine seconds.)
Then a late dinner at a spot that lets you smoke cigarettes and discuss existentialism.
Do it right, and nobody will beBohr-ed.
It makes the movie seem like high art inside unapologetic commercialism; nihilism meets capitalism painted hot pink.
That kind of glace deserves to come after a solid meal, as to avoid an unbalanced diet.
(I rang up my AMC A-List approximately seven times forLittle Women.
)Ill end my weekend with a solo cathartic cry.
Best weekend ever, I swear!
Then watch the entirety ofBarbie.
Then come back and watchOppenheimers big boom and the remaining portion of the movie.
and enter the secondOppenheimerscreening at the next exact second.
Otherwise, its the perfect way to ensure thatBarbieends with a bang.
Heres how I would approach it: SeeOppenheimerfirst preferably during the day.
This is when you eat.
SeeBarbienext, as a pick-me-up.
That said, one hopes that it will at least be fun.
Then, you catch a late-night screening ofCobweb, a grisly-looking horror film starring Lizzy Caplan and Antony Starr.
You are going to tackle both movies in one day,Angels in Americastyle.
Youre going to want to watchOppenheimerin the afternoon when the theater air conditioning is needed most.
you’re free to do this alone or in a small group.
it’s possible for you to be sober for this.
In fact, you should be sober for this.
The horrors of mans creation!
Youre going to get out ofOppenheimerand pre-game forBarbiesomewhere into the evening.
This can be a patio, park, roof, backyard, something outdoors.
Start while its still light out.
You want to be rolling two rows deep.
Sneak in candy, sneak in candy laced with stuff, but also order whateverBarbiespecials they have on offer.
Spring for the souvenir bucket.
Use it for the rest of the summer as an ice bucket at parties.
It will be a status item.
After the movie, do not pass go, head directly to the club.
Ask a stranger on the dance floor if they ever think about dying.
This is howBarbenheimerwas meant to be seen.
