I mean I have zero issues with a 3 hour movie. Oppenheimer was not masterfully written and at some points the directing was plainly bizarre.
It was a good movie but it’s not a movie I would go out of my way to see again. 90% of it was just taken from his wiki page - it wasn’t deep or insightful.
Again, good movie, definitely doesn’t make my top 5 or top 10.
Depends where you go. There’s a local (not franchise) theatre in my town that still does them. I’ve heard from euro friends that it’s not common on their home continent as well.
if not everything can be art — you’re saying there should be an arbiter of what is and isn’t art, and they have to look at every single piece of art past, present and future and designate “art” or “not art”?
or are you saying the best way to understand art is to have a general consensus of the world population and designate what is art? Wouldn’t that give a massive amount of power to Asian sensibilities, which vastly outnumbers other ethnicities?
or are you saying that once somebody taped a banana to a wall, art is no longer possible, and thus neither Oppenheimer, Barbie, or indeed any other movie, poem, song, painting, play, dance, sculpture etc is art any more?
Both are brilliant in terms of making money and having an impact. Both are scandalous in terms of defining what is art. Personally, I love both of them for what they are.

I have issues with a three hour movie if I’m watching it in theatres. Unless there’s an intermission
They don’t do intermissions in movies anymore for some reason. I don’t know why. I think it’s a good idea.

In a world where taping a banana to the ceiling is considered art, Oppenheimer can be considered a masterclass in writing and cinematography.
I agree with you tho, good movie, but not great movie.
wasn’t the banana taped to a wall? I think the banana on the ceiling is still up for grabs
You’ll need a stepladder or something, though.
I can’t get a stepladder, my mom is still married to my real ladder.

Everyone talks about the banana on the wall and no mentions the Banksy painting that shred itself immediately after it was sold at auction.
