A Very Barbenheimer Weekend!

I had originally intended to see one movie this weekend, but ended up watching both!

I saw Barbie on Saturday.  It was such a fun movie for kids and kids at heart, like myself, who remember playing with Barbie dolls as a child. Then on Sunday, my friend Brad asked me to go see Oppenheimer, as he had an extra ticket to see it on IMAX. Oppenheimer is a very intense but fascinating film.

Not only was this a historic film weekend, but this was also the first time I went to a movie theater since before the pandemic.

If Barbenheimer were really a thing, it would have been the greatest movie ever made!

 

Spike Lee on Malcolm X

I saw this on Democracy Now the other day, and I still feel like Malcolm X is one of the greatest movies ever made.  Denzel Washington was robbed of an Oscar for his performance.

The Greatest Interview Ever!

Forget Oprah’s interview with Harry and Meghan!  There is an interview floating on social media about a trans activist Pepe Julian Onziema being interviewed by a TV host about homosexuality in Uganda. Halfway through the interview, infamous homophobe Pastor Martin Ssempa crashes the interview with demonstrations of how gay people use vegetables for sex.  Ssempa came to fame many years ago when he showed explicit sex videos in his church because, apparently, he is NOT a closeted gay man…

The interview is insane!
