Dude, I live in East Texas. There are so many white trash people here that are barely convincing as humans, let alone as Americans. Think of "The Planet of the Apes", but these East Texas apes are dressed in costumes and wear makeup to give them approximately the appearance of human beings. But underneath the clothes and cosmetics, they are still apes that have a hard time with the following moral calculus: “What are the conditions that you think it would be acceptable for the United States to deliberately burn 200,000 Japanese civilians alive?"

The film Oppenheimer forces us to ask hard questions about America’s nuclear arms program
Our nuclear reality is Oppenheimer’s “worst nightmare.”

Yeah. And the video I showed you took place in New York.

Stupid is everywhere.

Now follow back your quote chain to where you asked what kind of person doesn't know who Oppenheimer is and how they could call themselves American and where I said that even less people knew who Oppenheimer was than knew where Ukraine was on a map 2 years ago and you'll find that nothing you're saying is changing that fact.


In the meantime, you're being nicer to human beings than Lovecraft was. He just called us meat sacks with jelly inside.

How do you get the CURRENT audience score? I can only find the original tomatometer score, when only Wokeness was rating it.

Bruce had mentioned that he knew Barbie make $1.1M on Wednesday, but he didn't post it in the Box office figures. And then Thursday was $21.2M. I don't know what his rules are. dude.

Today, Monday, my largest local theater (had barbie at 7pm last Wed, alongside Mummies) has 21 showings of Barbie, 9 of Oppy, 7 DR, and 4 of SoF.
Tomorrow, Tuesday is listed for 28 of Barbie, 10 Oppy, 6 DR, and 5 SoF - most starting about 10 or 11 am.

So thisis the Greta Gerwig Divorce movie?
As mentioned in videos, it was a Coup for the PR Dept to hide how bad the film was, and just trick folks into going to it.
I had gotten the impression it was sort of a remake of Clueless, and Robbie was able to pull off the vapid and vacant hollow plastic head persona - does that qualify as acting?

But it sounds like the true feat is a Tour De Force from Ryan Gosling. Maybe if somebody put together a short film or video, just clips of Ryan's Ken segments, it might actually be worth watching.

That makes two of us, brother.

Here's hoping for a 70% drop next weekend to restore my faith in humanity.

Ah yes... The silver lining.

The movie may not make it clear that Oppenheimer, despite his reputation for brilliance, wasn't smart. The movie does make it clear that Einstein was smart and both worked at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. When the shocking news became public about Oppenheimer losing his security clearance, which is the main point of the movie, Einstein told a reporter that he thought that Oppenheimer should go to the government, tear up his clearance, tell them they were fools and resign. As usual, Einstein saw through the thicket of complexity to the heart of the matter. But such behavior would have been entirely out of character for Oppenheimer. After conferring with his lawyers, Oppenheimer decided to fight the charges. And that is why there is a movie called "Oppenheimer". He was doomed and wise Einstein knew it before foolish Oppenheimer did. If a movie about a guy who killed hundreds of thousands of women and children but slowly developed a conscience against murder in a way that ended up humiliating him during a trial for a security clearance, "Oppenheimer" is your kind of entertainment.

You just don't like the movie because you mistakenly think that I'm rooting for it and you're always looking for an argument.

I'm indifferent to the idea of Oppenheimer the movie.
