Last night I had a look at the Curzon Cinema website to check out tickets for Oppenheimer. And before passing out in a weakness to find that adult, undiscounted tickets are £18.50 each, I was offered a jolly binary option. A little double box popped up: on the black side, Oppenheimer, on the pink, Barbie. And the caption chirruped, “which mood are you in today?”
So… is it to be fun feminism courtesy of Mattel merchandising, or a biopic of the man whose invention allowed the near-destruction of humanity? You choose! The annihilation of two cities, or the problematic issue about Barbie always going about on tippy-toes?
