Imagining the worlds of"Barbie" and"Oppenheimer," the two big summer movie blockbusters, merging together can be fun -- and disturbing.
Scene: A world where everything is pink. The buildings are pink. The roads are pink. Even the cars are pink. Barbie floats down from a pink cloud, gently landing on her tip toes.“Ouch! Something’s happened to my foot. Oh no!” “Down, down,” a dark voice calls from the distance. At first it sounds like an Irishman trying out an American accent, but within seconds you forget thinking he was Irish at all. “Over here.”
“Excuse me, I don’t think we’ve met before,” he says stiffly, reaching out his hand. “I’m Weird Bobbie, but you call me Dr. Oppenheimer.”“We haven’t got much time,” he urges, looking at her leg as the plastic continues to peel off. “We’ve had a couple of practice runs but it’s nearly time for the big one. You have to take cover. We must get as far from here as we can.”
The two chat as Barbie prepares the rocket for launching, which luckily only involves taking it out of its box. They soon discover they have one very important thing in common: bringing audiences back to the movies after COVID. “More of a nightmare,” Oppenheimer says with a laugh. “We had to build an entire town in the New Mexican desert when I started to build the bomb. It’s really boring. It doesn’t have a spiral slide from the roof down to the ground like yours. It looks just like all the other houses.”“I can see the laundry. Despite being constantly reminded, my wife never remembers to bring in the wash.”Barbie decides it’s time to land the rocket.
