The old “hes dumb and horrible” in only the subject I care about routine. Seen it with doctors, lawyers, teachers.
Trumps handling and rhetoric on the Ukraine War ranges from mystifying to disgraceful.-

This shit is fuckin rough. Going into a top 10 atmosphere on the road is damn near guaranteed a loss. The qbs dot you up with no remorse. One on one tackling is non existent. I’m sure it’s just gonna take some getting used to but this game feels way clunkier and slow than last year. If the computer determines you will lose the game you will know fairly early on. Florida’s first drive they tipped a ball over DB to pick up a first down on 3rd and 15. Then my next drive on offense I dove for the pylon and of course fumbled. Touchback. This shit is super frustrating so far
Waiting on getting the kinks out and adjustments to the settings. -
Yeah not thrilled with that, especially since I've been sitting here with my dick in my hand and no Congressional representation for months in CD18 (thanks hot wheels). Silver lining to this redistricting push from Trump that I have read from several sources is that Texas is pretty much maximally gerrymandered as is, and in order to push it further you will be taking from the safer republican seats and creating an environment where they are more competitive. Could be a bad gambit where in a worst-case scenario for R's they will lose previously safe seats in addition to not gaining any new ones. Here's hoping that's what comes to pass and this whole thing blows up in Trumps face...
My guess is that using AI, friendlier and more corrupt courts, and a gutted watchdog system, they’ll make a stab at it.-

Narrator: Abbott spent the last four years blaming Biden for everything and refusing to work with the federal government for solutions.
He is the Jeff Fisher of Governors, without the success.
Nice Jeff Fisher reference on Jeff Fisher Day-

Gladiator II
Well? We’re waiting -
That's not what I was talking about.
Explaining it you is a waste of time and key stokes. You've always made it clear in every thread that anyone who disagrees with your opinion is factually wrong despite opinions being subjective. You're not in these threads to discuss opinions nor your thoughts on movies, you come in here to tell people why they're stupid and have bad opinions.
It's super cool and productive.
You throw grenades like “Oppenheimer repeated too much on nuclear war being bad” and “The Prestige is too proud of itself” dont be surprised if you get some grenades thrown back if you are unable to defend those positions.
One premise of Oppenheimer is how does an ethical man who wants to do good by science and his country betray his ideals, his country, his wife and build the most dangerous weapon known to man. Then continue to try to maintain control over it. Its the Frankenstein’s monster theme and as relevant today as it was at the start of the industrial revolution.
Then a whole third of the movie deals with revenge and ego, for which RDJ won a much deserved Oscar. It demonstrates the how of nuclear proliferation given that decisions are made for selfish reasons and men driven by ambition.
A little bit more complicated than the movie repeating the dangers of nuclear war.
No offense, but sometimes we need to stay in our own lanes. -
So, prior to watching Oppenheimer you were completely unaware that Nuclear War was bad?
That tracks.
One criticism is that it didnt spend enough time on the horrors of nuclear weapons or the toll on scientists experimenting with radioactive materials. Or, the government extracting land from the natives or the impact on them.
How long should Nolan have spent on other things? And you say they spent too much time talking about nuclear weapons. Your viewpoint is even less relevant and superficial than others who criticize what the movie missed. At least they have a point. -
Only after the Tea Party cost them some Seats in the midterm.
Indeed, 2010 was a bloodbath for Obama, a well-known GOP President.-

I enjoyed Oppenheimer, but there was just way too much "Nuclear was is bad, mmmhhmmkay."
The Prestige was a little too proud of itself.
Momento was fantastic as was thr Dark Knight.
Dunkirk was good but felt a little heavy handed to me but I still enjoyed it.
I liked Inception as it was an interesting idea, but it wasn't a great film.
I truly enjoy Nolan's work in the broad strokes. He has a fun interesting approach to film in all aspects but he does lean a little heavy towards people are really stupid. Sadly.. while it diminishes some of his films, he's not wrong.
You are completely right. We really needed more horseback riding and pipe smoking featured and less nuclear bombs in the movie about Oppenheimer.
I really wish you people would share which films we’re missing out on that put Nolan movies to shame. -
Agreed. Look, Christopher Nolan is an exceptional filmmaker when he trusts the audience to understand or at least follow the story- ie Dunkirk, Dark Night, Momento, The Prestige.
The Odyssey shares key elements with those stories AND the text shows how a narrative voice can blend with a voice of the main character.
Im excited!
We’re so glad that you are so smart that upon leaving the theater in 2010, you thought Inception was too simple.
Inception is part heist movie. I guess you like heist movies where the filmmakers don’t clue the audience in on the planning process. We just see random dudes watching a building and breaking into random rooms and cutting wires and shit. A whole hour of a Jake Gittes-like characters just tailing people with no soundtrack. Ocean’s 11 would have been 15 minutes.
In other words, Inception would have been completely incomprehensible to all of us mids, who never read our Descartes. -
And a good day to you too, sir.
If you want to experience a small slice of the shit women deal with every day, tell people you don’t like Inception, and some middlebrow type will pop out of nowhere and start explaining Inception.
Sure, it doesn’t help that Hans Zimmer decided to make the Oboe player the Oppenheimer of the woodwind section, but Inception didn’t suck because Hans Zimmerman is a bad composer.
Inception sucked because at some point after the Prestige, Christopher Nolan apparently lost whatever trust he had in the audience to understand movies based on the combination of moving images and realistic dialogue between well developed characters.
As a result, he uses expository dialogue and music the way less gifted directors use voiceovers: as a substitute for competent narrative filmmaking, which in turn makes him a little lazy in terms of pacing and plot points.
Consequently, Inception drowns in self-evidence. Basically, the shouting ruins the visuals. It’s like porn for the blind, as described by Frankie MacDonald, cue Oboes on the money shot:
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
That is a lucid, well-thought, intelligent objection. Post less.
Upon release, 15 years ago, the main criticism of the movie from some movie goers and critics was that it was confusing and lacked emotional depth.
Now, because people have analyzed it and watched it online with subtitles it has too much exposition. So, which is it?
Nolan is not David Lynch. He doesnt have to make it Dark City. It’s not that kind of movie. And it doesnt have to be.
I guess the analogy of your criticism of Hans Zimmer and Nolan is like criticism of Led Zeppelin by punk artists of the 70’s. Hey its too good. The singer is too this. The drum solo is too this. Whats the point except that other artists should be able to do other things?-

Maybe someone can ask Neil how a fucking 30 foot tsunami could form in Puget Sound just from a thunderstorm... cause that is information I would love to know
Guess it was in the video game. Cant diverge from canon. -
They missed on not recasting Ellie after season 1(which she was fine for that part of the story)
A young Meryl Streep could be Ellie and it would not make a difference. She’s horribly written-

Saw Zodiac at the Paramount. Just a brilliant movie. My favorite Fincher film. With a crowd, definitely more humor than I remember, especially considering the subject matter.

Counterpoint: Now the families have to deal with 30-40 years of expose/interview/tell-all media endeavors that rub salt in their wounds till they die.
If they could stick him in a deep dark hole and court order gag the media then you'd be spot-on. That can't happen.
Watch Richard Linklater’s God Save Texas: Huntsville. If you are arguing for the mental health benefits of capital punishment, the benefits could be detailed on a leaflet.
The victims’ families will suffer everyday for the rest of their lives. Eliminating appeals outweighs the continued existence of a murderer.-

Inception- that time Christopher Nolan thought people didn’t know how to feel awe without oboes to say when
Inception won Oscars for Best Sound Mixing and Editing and busts out Hans Zimmer, who literally invents sounds for musical scores. But you were tired of it?
Like I said: post less. When there’s a debate about roundabouts, we’ll come get you. -
Is this like a scared straight lesson or something?-

Oppenheimer isn’t as bad as Inception, but it’s not for lack of effort.
