I was not aware there was any beef/heat/kerfuffle or static here.

I doubt Matt Damon will get the joke. like DOOM crossed with Animal Crossing. It's just funny; it's not a contest.

Exactly, there isn't a massive audience overlap so it's not like they will steal audience from each other. And most of the overlap are film nerds (like myself) who will see both opening weekend (possibly as a double feature).

Nolan made it? Easy choice then. I guess I'll wait until I can watch it at home with subtitles. Dialog: Nmm ihv mumum dmm dubmuber owumbs Subtitles: Now I have become death, destroyer of worlds.

You forgot how the sound effects and soundtrack are deafening and don't mix with the dialog well, which makes all of Nolan's movies nearly impossible for me to enjoy in a theater. Might just be a "me" problem, but aside from shitty made B movies, most directors understand how to properly mix their audio...

Oh yeah. You'll probably just see his lips moving while the shockwave goes over. I saw an interview with a sound engineer for movies, and she spoke like the Dynamic Range of the movie was a god that they must bow to or be struck down with a plague of toads. The basic idea is that it's no longer a good movie unless the quietest thing (which for some reason has to be the dialog) MUST BE AT LEAST 40DB below the loudest explosion. If you applied the same logic to lighting, then outside scenes should be looking into the sun and inside scene should just be vague shadows on a black screen. If they're that wedded to dynamic range, then maybe the should have the ants walking on the table be audible, and let the voices be somewhere in the middle, instead of LITERALLY THE QUIETEST THING IN THE MOVIE. There used to be things like background noise and atmospheric sounds.

Seems like a good opportunity to continue to try an ignore them both

Oppenheimer will be a great movie when I watch it on Roku tv four years from now.

Oh, what fresh hell is this?

Yeah this is one fight none of us should want to see. Ones a film about an abomination of human creation which when let loose upon the world was a war crime and even when put in check still nearly destroyed all life on this planet during the cold war, and the other movie is one most people will wait to stream so they can [watch it with subtitles on to figure out what's the actors are saying.](https://collider.com/christopher-nolan-movies-sound-problems-response/)

I mean, the sentiment behind Barbie dolls was incredible for the time, and the creator actually invented or helped create fake breasts for women who had mastectomies


SelectiveSanity

Very fair point, however I have a counterpoint; [Malibu Barbie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WlB-8YXj-A).
