The Barbie-Oppenheimer double bill hit the cinema screens this weekend.
The Barbenheimer phenomenon has taken the internet by storm.
Both films have been highly anticipated.
Starring Cillian Murphy, Oppenheimer is a historical movie.
It revolves around the scientists who developed the atomic bomb.
However, some fans have noticed a serious factual error in Oppenheimer.
And they are not happy about it …
Plus, many angry men have made their opinions known about Barbie.
And it’s safe to say the internet had a lot to say about it.
“They weren’t the target audience. The movie wasn’t made for them, and they didn’t have to see it.
If you don’t like a piece of media. don’t consume it. It’s that simple,” wrote one fan.
“People will be mad about anything and everything. But I enjoyed this movie and so did my husband!” wrote another.
Now, Margot Robbie is an icon.
The Australian actress made her breakthrough performance in The Wolf of Wall Street (2013).
Since then, her fame has skyrocketed.
And she has gone on to appear in hit movies, such as Suicide Squad (2016), I, Tonya (2017), Mary Queen of Scots (2018), and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019).
There’s no denying she’s made a name for herself in the entertainment industry.
You’ll be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn’t know who she is.
And recently Robbie has taken on a new venture, appearing in and producing the new movie Barbie.
The new movie is written and directed by Greta Gerwig and follows Robbie’s character as she leaves Barbieland behind and takes on the real world.
It’s totally different from anything Robbie has done before.
And fans were so eager to find out more about her role, that photos from the set were leaked online.
Social media users had a lot to say about the images…
Which showed Robbie and Gosling’s characters dressed in neon spandex.
After seeing one of the leaked photos, one Twitter user wrote:
“The Barbie movie photo leaks feel like a fever dream. Did that actually happen? Is there actually a movie? Is Margot actually Robbie?”
And it seems to have gotten a little too much for Robbie.
The actress has recently revealed she was “mortified” to find out about the leaked photos.
Robbie opened up on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon…
Sharing her thoughts on the whole ordeal while also promoting her new movie Amsterdam.
“I can’t tell you how mortified we were, by the way,” Robbie said.
“We look like we’re like laughing and having fun, but dying on the inside. Dying. I was like, this is the most humiliating moment of my life.”
Jimmy Fallon then asked Robbie if she was aware of the huge media discussion around the photos…
“No!” Robbie said. “I mean, I knew that we had some exteriors to shoot in L.A. I knew, OK, once you were doing exteriors, you’re gonna get papped.”
She continued: “There’s probably going to be a little crowd of people who are going to stand out, because, you know, we stand out a little bit in those outfits.
“So I knew there was going to be a little bit of attention, and probably some photos would get out there, but not like it did. It was like mad. It was like hundreds of people watching.”
Along with those paparazzi photos that were leaked online…
Gosling’s character was also filmed screaming after Barbie punches a man who gropes her.

Since then, Robbie has no doubt become one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, but we bet you didn’t know something about one scene in her movie, Wolf of Wall Street.
The 3-hour movie was a chock-a-block with unforgettable wild scenes pen-selling, dwarf-throwing, and Robbie teasing all spring to mind.
While the Australian actress played a big part in the success of the movie, she was bold enough and insisted on going nude in her big breakthrough role.
The much-loved Martin Scorsese movie is based on the story of controversial stockbroker Jordan Belfort played by Leonardo DiCaprio, with Robbie playing Naomi Lapaglia, Belfort’s second wife in the film.
According to LADbible, her role featured numerous s*xual scenes, including a full-frontal nude scene. Robbie even admitted she was apprehensive about the scenes being immortalized on the internet.
Speaking to The Telegraph in 2014, aged just twenty-three, she said: “I think nudity for the sake of nudity is shameful. If they’ve put it in just so that a girl gets her top off, then that’s disgusting. And you can always tell.
“But I also think it’s disgusting when someone would have got n*ked in real life, in the film they conveniently leave their bra on, or hold up the bed sheet. Seeing someone being choreographed into being covered up irritates me just as much,” she said.
And she carried on and said she put out her suggestions to the director too.
“The whole point of Naomi is that her body is her only form of currency in this world. So when Marty [Scorsese] was trying to help me out, and said in the scene where she seduces Jordan perhaps I could have a robe on, I said she wouldn’t. She has to be n*ked. She’s laying her cards on the table,” Robbie continued.
Robbie even reflected on shooting a memorable seduction scene in the movie, she told Porter in a 2018 interview: “It doesn’t come across when you’re watching the movie, but in reality, we’re in a tiny bedroom with 30 crew crammed in.”
“All men. And for 17 hours I’m pretending to be touching myself. It’s just a very weird thing and you have to bury the embarrassment and absurdity, really deep, and fully commit,” she added.
However, it seems the success that followed the movie wasn’t exactly what Robbie wanted…
Robbie opened up in an interview with Vanity Fair.
“Something was happening in those early stages and it was all pretty awful,” she said.
“I remember saying to my mom, ‘I don’t think I want to do this.’
“And she just looked at me, completely straight-faced, and was like, ‘Darling, I think it’s too late not to,’” Robbie continued.
“That’s when I realized the only way was forward,” she added.
Robbie particularly had to learn how to cope with the paparazzi.
“I know how to go through airports, and now I know who’s trying to f–k me over in what ways.
“If my mom dies in a car accident because you wanted a photo of me going in the grocery shop, or you knock my nephew off a bike — for what? For a photo?
“It’s dangerous but still weirdly nothing feels like it changes,” Robbie said.
“The way I try to explain this job — and this world — to people is that the highs are really high, and the lows are really, really low.
“And I guess if you’re lucky, it all balances out in the middle,” she concluded.
More recently, Robbie recalled one scene in Wolf of Wall Street where she had to take shots of tequila to get prepared.
And that scene was the s*x scene with Leonardo DiCaprio.
If you remember the scene, Robbie’s character Naomi seduces her husband in their daughter’s bedroom.
Though on-screen, Robbie looked completely calm and collected, she admitted that she felt “very, very nervous” inside.
“I’m not going to lie; I had a couple of shots of tequila before that scene because I was nervous — very, very nervous,” she said at a Bafta: A Life In Pictures event in November.
“Honestly, I know it sounds silly now, knowing how big the movie became, at the time I thought, ‘no one is going to notice me in this film.’
“‘It kind of doesn’t matter what I do in this film because everyone is going to be focused on Leo DiCaprio and everything,'” she said.
Robbie added: “And I was just kind of like, ‘I’ll slip under the radar.’”
It sent the internet into meltdown.
And there was one aspect of the trailer that particularly captured the internet’s attention!
Margot Robbie’s feet!
One user tweeted: “The first shot of the Barbie The Movie trailer is a shot of Margot Robbie’s feet. They know there’s a massive group of guys that will pay to see this in IMAX.”
Another joked “I’m at the point where I think I could pick out Margot Robbie’s feet in a lineup.”
Another tweeted: “Margot Robbie’s feet really about to make me buy a ticket to Barbie!”
While another added: “CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW PRETTY MARGOT ROBBIE’S FEET ARE?”
The trailer shows Robbie as Barbie stepping out of her high-heeled shoes – while her feet retain that signature Barbie shape.
Not only is it an iconic reference to the doll that inspired the movie …
But it’s true that her feet do look pretty perfect.
Take a look at the trailer here.
And Robbie’s recent Barbie promo look then had everybody talking.
At the London premiere, she paid tribute to the Barbie Enchanted Evening 1960 Fashion Doll ($39).
Rocking a pastel pink custom Vivienne Westwood gown.
And she accessorized with a giant shoulder ruff and pearl choker.
Many are calling it her boldest Barbie look yet.
This weekend marked the beginning of the Barbenheimer era.
The Barbie movie opened on the same day as Christopher Nolan’s biographical epic, Oppenheimer, which details the invention of the atomic bomb.
People have been watching the two wildly tonally different movies back to back.
But, predictably, the Barbie movie has offended some of the internet’s most snowflake-y men.
Blogger Jim Schembri wrote on Rotten Tomatoes: “For the first 30 minutes or so Barbie is a fun, feather-weight satire…Then the stuff about patriarchy kicks in and the film turns into a thinly disguised #metoo rant, trading comedy for man-bashing and a lot of confused point-scoring about sexism.”
Christian Toto added: “Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling can’t save story captured by man-hating agenda.”
But a Twitter comedian has saved the day by creating faux-promo posters featuring the most angry quotes.
You can take a look right here …
And there’s another reason the Barbenheimer double bill has the internet feeling angry …
Fans have noticed an anachronistic error in Oppenheimer.
In one scene, Cillian Murphy is seen in front of an American crowd.
The crowd are waving some American flags in celebration.
The problem is, the flags have the famous 50 stars.
But, as the movie is set in 1945, there should only have been 48.
“It was good and all, but I’ll be that guy and complain they used 50-star flags in a scene set in 1945,” one fan Tweeted.
