What did I do???? I just clarified that I was working with limited knowledge due to the nature of tiktok comments and this is what they say? By the way, they’re @‘ing the OP tiktoker, not me.

You’re comment reminded me of this:
I only asked them for more information since tiktok comment threads are practically unreadable and due to the character limitations their singular comments were hard to understand as well. Maybe they saw me as one of those “source?” People who only ask in bad faith just so they can never read what you post but I tried to word my comment in a way that was genuine. Maybe I should’ve used a tone indicator.
But I’ll keep asking questions and learning more and hopefully one day I’ll figure out what anarchist event they were referencing.
Thank you for the encouragement, it means a lot.
I guess I considered me crying over that comment overly sensitive because they didn’t even cuss me out or threaten my life; just that I was an anarchist sock puppet. I wish we were kinder to each other online but I do understand why they’re hostile considering the amount of reactionaries they’ve probably had to deal with before me jumping in asking a genuine question. Even when others are mean I try to stay kind, unless they’re fascists, of course.
Saw Patrol definitely feels manufactured after the Barbenheimer hype. Not many people are raving about it and seem to see it as is.
Im really happy you enjoyed yourself, my friend. I was surprised at how Oppenheimer was softer on the communists and portrayed the American government as overly paranoid, then again I do feel it played a fairly “centrist” role, for lack of a better word.
While I think the visuals of the movie were extraordinary, I was not a fan of the lack of subtlety. Certain historical figures were treated like Marvel cameos so much so I was anticipating to hear the Avengers theme play; as if they were teasing a sequel movie.
The sexual content was uncomfortable in a unique way and I definitely believe certain parts could’ve been cut. I’m making it sound like I hated this movie and I swear I didn’t, I still don’t. I feel there could’ve been less and more, some content should’ve been scrapped to make room for others if that makes sense.
I’m surprised at the arguments people are having online about Oppenheimer. Nobody seems to agree on whether he was portrayed as a hero or a coward and to me it was incredibly clear how the movie framed the man and the events that occurred. Based on music choices and editing alone it’s obvious, at least to me.
To me, I don’t think Oppenheimer is a movie that can be enjoyable just based on content alone. It’s a movie about the atomic bomb which is definitely not something that brings up good feelings.
Filmmaking wise it’s very good, I mean just the practical effects are something to praise. The acting is top notch, at least to me, and the symbolic clips of stars and, what I assume are atoms, were very nice.
I have a few issues with the movie, one of them being the duration. Three hours felt like too long and I think it could’ve been cut down. Some parts just dragged on while others felt rushed if that makes sense. In conclusion, this movie will win an Oscar, all war movies tend to.
Laika! She’s an icon, she’s a legend, and she is the moment!
You’re probably right. Then again I find the memes fairly enjoyable and the fake posters (like the ones I shared) are pretty rad to me.
Call me naive but I don’t really think this was some elaborate scheme. From what I can tell, the hype and whatnot came from the hilarious fact that both Barbie and Oppenheimer were released on the same day and both were anticipated to be the movies of the summer, naturally putting them in competition. Two very big films with vastly differing aesthetics is the perfect pairing for such a phenomenon. Thus the memes came out in full force and definitely contributed to the further marketing of these films.
I’ve never watched Lain but I will get to it now. I will say that Barbie referenced a lot of different movies/media so I would say it’s possible. Once I have watched Lain I’ll come back to give a more complete and definitive answer.
Very fair question, haha. I wanted to hang out with my friends and watching a movie was what we all decided on. I really wanted to see Barbie and others wanted Oppenheimer so we came to the conclusion that we would do the fabled Barbenheimer.
I understand that they’ve probably been approached by so many bad faith questions and reactionaries but damn does it hurt to be on the receiving end of their ire. Maybe a tone indicator would’ve helped, but then again maybe not. I liked their comments and followed the OP tiktok creator who I guess is their friend but they still came at me thinking I’m a sock puppet account if some American white guy. I just genuinely want to know which anarchists were protecting cultural conservatives and what the IWW is 😭
