#the film looks excellent

Love that Oppenheimer is a deeply disturbing horror movie about a man forced to accept that he is, in a person, the representative manifestation of mankind’s evil in committing one of the greatest horrors of human history - LITERALLY acting as the modern Prometheus, tormented by his sins for the remainder of time. Knowing that he will never be pitied and his actions will forever be utterly unforgivable because the blood of genocide and the potential of total human annihilation will eternally drip from his hands.

But also the simultaneous indictment by the film that to blame a single person for the Manhattan Project is to refuse to accept your own capacity for great evil if the ends ever seem to justify the means, and the culpability of every member of a species that lets itself create something so unspeakably terrible.

Hate that twitter’s take on such a nuanced and brilliantly handled examination of those issues is “movie bad because protagonist not evil enough.”

I think as a part of healing that Jean should not just get to watch all the silly reality show dramas with Jeremy (Jean hates real housewives but sort of tolerates dance moms), but also stuff on his own! Getting to figure out what kind of movies/tv he likes, because lord knows the Ravens did not have a tv, much less one that Jean would even have access to outside of game film.

Anyways, I'm team let Jean watch French shows like Le Sommet des dieux or Lupin or something. Nobody else has any idea what is happening, but they're all happy Jean is choosing to watch something for himself.

Also, I think it would be nice for him to hear people speaking french that aren't kevin or neil. Maybe Elodie liked movies.

Needless to say this scene changed my entire being's chemistry

Semyon Mezhinsky as Napoleon Bonaparte in the Soviet film, Kutuzov, dir. Vladimir Petrov, 1944

It looks like the filmmakers either used face prosthetics or some sort of editing to make the actor look more like Napoleon. His nose, for example, was changed to look a lot more like Napoleon’s nose. I think it turned out really well and looks very accurate.

Watching Friday the 13th for the first time and I’m really loving how the use of POV shots in the first act of the movie sets up a lot more suspenseful shots later in the film by making the audience question whether the shot on screen is or isnt POV at the moment

The Aftermath (1982)

"What happens when you die?"

"I don't know, son. No one does."

"It's sad to die."

"No. Death isn't sad. We all have to die. What's sad is having to go on without someone you love. Just as we have to go on now."

The biggest offender of the ROP show : it doesn't do any justice to Ar-Pharazon/Sauron. And Ar-Pharazon isn't DILF enough

Anon, you are so right. Well, I don't think it's the biggest offense, but it is a major offense! It didn't help that imo Halbrand is a black hole of charisma, store-brand Viggo. I don't think they even interacted :(

I quite liked Pharazon's look but not for him; it would have worked well for an OC advisor or maybe Amandil. But Pharazon himself should be smoking hot and look much younger: prime of life, not entering old age. I'd love him to resemble Elrond (and thus Luthien).

Completely irrelevant, but I finally know who Pedro was supposed to play in As Bestas. He was originally cast for Diego Anido’s role.
