And this whole spite move just made a bunch of people really excited for the one of the weirdest double features ever. I’m not sure, but I actually think that the choice to schedule Barbie on the same day as Oppenheimer may actually help Oppenheimer because of how many people want to do the Barbenheimer thing. Those…

One of the greatest joys of the last few years of pop culture has been the end result of Nolan moving Oppenheimer to Universal out of spite for Warner brothers, and Warner brothers scheduling Barbie on the same day as Oppenheimer out of spite for Nolan, has resulted in TWO radically different, but exciting movies by…

I feel like I have a fragile handle on things that’s probably about the best that could be expected by an engaged non-physicist viewer. Short answer is basically yes. Following the film, he’s basically been working for and with him for years and they accomplish many missions in the future. The guy that we see in the…

Also, I’m grateful to read that review that says that there are gags in the movie.

Early critics have been reduced to shadows.

“Blown away”? What an overused cliché. You should have said “Early critics have been vaporized by a nanosecond flash of light a thousand times brighter than the Sun by Oppenheimer”.

The ending also apparently involves Nolan bringing “the hammer down in the most astonishing, shattering way.”

All I ask is that it’s as pretty to watch as Tennet was, but you know, with a god damn coherent story.

This is a super-interesting article. The prices in LA definitely gave me pause — I was visiting a friend a few months back and there was lots of eating out involved, and my assumption was that the prices were just reflecting post-pandemic life, and I’d find the same thing back in Chicago (hadn’t been going out for…

First, who calls them “Sandos”? Sammy, yeah...but Sando? Ugh. It is not gonna be your signature madeup word.

In US politics, CRT is to racial justice what socialism is to economics.

In addition to the obvious racist comments he’d spew, I assume it would include the phrase “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams”

I’d love to know how this guy would describe the events of 9/11 then!

I’m sorry, maybe Britney should stop approaching and touching famous people without warning and especially if they’re surrounded by bodybuards whose job is precisely to stop randos from touching/accosting/approaching the person they’re guarding?

yes, it does. This is actually a massive free speech victory. Yes, free speech will often be used by despicable people, because the right to say only things people agree with is not actually free speech.

I’m really waiting for “it’s against my religion to serve Jews/Muslims/women/black people.” That will be a fun Supreme Court case.

Absolutely it does: “The First Amendment prohibits Colorado from forcing a website designer to create expressive designs speaking messages with which the designer disagrees.”

This also means we can discriminate against religions we don’t agree with too right? RIGHT? 

Texan Republicans right now: "We're doing it! The bare minimum expected of this situation! We're heroes!"
