Saw "Barbie" last night.

Really enjoyed it. I thought the opening bit was brilliant! I doubt anyone under 40 would get the 2001 reference. I laughed out loud during it!

To be honest, all that pink is not my thing, but I do like a good nostalgic comedy (?) with bite and cultural references that drive a point home.

I don't go to the cinema often, so Oppenheimer was my "big screen-must see" this time around.
