YouTuber-cum-boxer Logan Paul is being ridiculed for walking out of an Oppenheimer screening.
The celebrity who rose to fame after becoming a successful yet controversial YouTuber duo with his brother, Jake Paul, has stunned fans by saying he walked out of a screening of Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer - one of the most anticipated movies of the year.
Despite the movie grossing over $600 million worldwide, running a very successful marketing campaign with the Barbie movie which was released on the same day, coining the term 'Barbenheimer' and encouraging film fanatics to take part in a movie marathon where they watched both films back to back... this wasn't good enough for Paul.

He confessed to disliking the movie so much he walked out during the latest episode of his Impaulsive podcast.
And his reasoning for his swift exit? And no, it wasn't about the run time of the mammoth film.
It was apparently because 'everyone's just talking'.
Paul had invited the directors of horror movie Talk To Me, Michael and Danny Philipou - known as their online moniker 'RackaRacka'.
The trio were talking about their best and worst movies and Paul dropped the bombshell (sorry) that he had dipped out of Oppenheimer early.
“I didn’t know what they were trying to… What are you doing? Everyone's just talking," said Paul, mimicking the action of open mouths with his hands.
However, it's not the first time Paul has left a movie, also admitting to having walked out of Nolan's Interstellar just 18 minutes into the film.
Though he then said it went on to be in his 'top three favourite movies', so we suppose there's hope for the World War II flick yet.
Fans are less than forgiving though, having taken to Twitter to express their distain with the boxer.
One wrote: "Would rather listen to a 3 hour video of talking then listen to him talk for more than 5 seconds" with another chiming in: "I don’t think I can sit for 2 hours and listen to ImPAULsive."
And someone simply wrote: "What a loser."
Well, Paul's opinion on Oppenheimer certainly isn't a popular one, with the 3-hour-long film earning rave reviews from critics worldwide.
And we can say it's pretty deserved after finding out Cillian Murphy - who played the starring role of scientist Robert Oppenheimer - learned 30,000 words of Dutch for one minor scene in the film.
He also had a gruelling diet in order to play the slim scientist - which would make most people want to quit the film entirely!
