#the same one's they're there celebrating now and that history has proven nolan right

#alright so some explanation here#obviously the first domino is warner bros. hiring then indie director chris nolan to reboot batman#this then provides a nice business partnership UNTIL wb decides to release tenet straight to streaming#what with theaters being closed due to the covid-19 pandemic#which obviously pisses off chris 'films are meant to be seen on the big screen' nolan#enough that he breaks off the almost 20 year (very lucrative tenet notwithstanding) professional relationship#so he goes to universal and he's like 'you got the rights to oppenheimer i'd like to do this'#and universal--having one of the few household director names fall in their lap--is like 'sure man do whatever'#this is the how the studio system is supposed to work#you make the studio a bunch of money so the studio gives you a bunch of money to make whatever you want#small aside: apparently there was a wb event sometime ago celebrating nolan's films#basically an event for the wb execs to pat themselves on the back for nolan's batman movies#and nolan's there and he takes his time to speak to talk to all the execs there about how he had to fight them for every creative decision#the same one's they're there celebrating now and that history has proven nolan right#i say all this because you might be thinking 'listen 2021 was rough. i might not agree with releasing straight to streaming but i get it'#'was that enough to jump ship?' probably not but it was definitely the straw that broke the camel's back#SO. how does barbie fit into this? well...you might've noticed if you watched the movie that it's a warner bros picture#they deliberately put barbie--a general audience family film--on the same date as oppenheimer in an attempt to hurt nolan at the box office#and that shit backfired on them because they thought the general public was intellectually incapable of watching both movies#they did not expect you freaks (affectionate) meming the hell out of both movies#so while warner bros marketed *the hell* out of barbie universal rode the barbenheimer meme wave#oppenheimer and universal have made a frankly freakish amount of money on a 3 hour biopic largely by riding warner bros aggressive marketin#marketing that was so aggressive because they wanted to hurt chris nolan at the box office and make him come crawling back#and that shit is never gonna happen. it's all funny.#tl;dr zaszlav EVEN IN SUCCESS can't call himself a winner hahahaha
