Oppenheimer (2023)

🎬During World War II, Lt. Gen. Leslie Groves Jr. appoints physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer to work on the top-secret Manhattan Project. Oppenheimer and a team of scientists spend years developing and designing the atomic bomb. Their work comes to fruition on July 16, 1945, as they witness the world's first nuclear explosion, forever changing the course of history.

📝A truly magnificent film, based on the equally excellent book ('American Prometheus'). It's full of excellent cast and tells us about the Golden Age of Physics as well as the dark age of the bomb. A thought provoking film and Cillian Murphy is just phenomenal. I highly recommend that you watch this in the cinema.

all this hype on Oppenheimer for MONTHS and the actual movie was just kind of…….ehhhh

#im so sad i wanted to love it so much #the manhattan project is such a fascinating historical time and i was pumped to see this #like the acting was 10/10 and the MUSIC was 1000/10 #and of course the cinema and CGI was top notch #but the storyline…….was an absolute mess #changing scenes CONSTANTLY no coherent plot point…. #like are we focusing on the bomb?? the moral implications of the bomb?? how the bomb was built??? #or are we just going to spend three hours arguing if oppenheimer had communist friends or not #scenes between characters lasting one minute before we are launched into a different place/time #oh well….i hope Barbie is better #movies #Oppenheimer #oppenheimer review #oppenheimer spoilers

“Christopher Nolan does do a good job with directing beautiful looking, cerebral films. His use of sound editing in this film, leaving breaths or rests in the sound verged on symphonic composure.”

“For a three hour movie about a bomb, it shouldn’t be too hard to pass the Bechdel test but somehow Nolan fails to pass it.”

I’m dropping opinion bombs over on my Letterboxd! Go read more of my thoughts on Oppenheimer below.

my hot take is i like letterboxd silly one liner reviews i think they’re fun sometimes it’s fun to have a joke and a laugh after watching something with the Movie Heads in my phone. the problem with them is people sometimes try too hard to get a Hit Most Liked Review + the people who do them for movies you should absolutely not be responding to with a silly one liner. time and place etc

#like reviewing the muppets take manhattan and just saying the frog gets hit by a fucking car is hilarious and fun #but some movies i come out of and it’s like how is your first thought to make a joke in a sad attempt to get likes on an app #personally I don’t do thought out reviews because I don’t have the brain power immediately after watching movie #but I think those from the heart reviews + the silly ones each have their place #I want to have fun but I also want to learn!!!

thought if the day:

oppenheimer = very good fucking movie.

frankly my education did not encompass what really went on during the manhattan project enough and the armed races between differing countries. the acting was phenomenal, I enjoyed how they brought to light the red scare sweeping through the usa and how that impacted everything. what I liked most was the realism behind it at points. again this is all coming from a person with very little historical background besides what was mandated in school. honestly Oppenheimer’s last phrase to Einstein during the movie really fucking sold me over all + plus his contact morals vs academia battle when coming to full fruition with the project.

Series 7 Episode 5: The Angels Take Manhattan

Hey all, I am starting my write-up of this review mid lecture because I am boreddddd. Today we’re going to be tackling Amy & Rory’s departure story, The Angels Take Manhattan. We’ve got so many big signifiers for Moffat’s writing at this point. Amy & Rory, River Song, the Weeping Angels, some timey wimey shenanigans, etc. I see it as a finale of this era of the show, with all its iconic parts, so let’s see if it lives up to this expectation.

So thematically, I do very much like this story. The noir aesthetic that they play into, the mirroring of Amy & Rory’s relationship VS The Doctor & River’s, the way that Amy and Rory’s love SAVES the day. It’s a celebration of these characters and it works super well on that front. Whilst I found their zap back to the past at the end of the story rather abrupt, the moment still landed and it instantly makes clear that this event will be a pivotal turning point in the Doctor’s character. This story nails every character, and that’s so important when the stakes are so high.

Unfortunately, whilst the character has been nailed here, I need to talk about the Weeping Angels. In my Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone review, I talked about how by adding so many new features to the Angels, they became demystified, and that the more you bring the Angels back, the less scary/effective a villain they’re going to become. The Angels Take Manhattan contributes to this issue just by making another Weeping Angel story, but then the rules around them start to be twisted yet again. They can now displace people in space as well as time, if they’re damaged then so are their powers, the rules keep changing. And the most egregious example of this over all 3 Angel stories.. The Statue of Liberty is a Weeping Angel, and during the night often blinks over to the abandoned building the Angels took over. Arguably the most famous statue in the world, that I would wager has at least one person looking at it at all times, and it managed to move? This surely breaks the pre-established rules of the Weeping Angels, but also even if we accept this, how did no one notice? Sure, Doctor Who doesn’t always make sense. It’s a show about a two-hearted alien who travels through space and time. But alongside that, the writing is typically very solid and takes in these historical considerations, so I can’t just ignore this. If you do something this big, you need to have an explanation prepared, and yet there isn’t one ever presented to us. Big Daisy grumble moment.

This story absolutely nails Amy & Rory’s farewell though. Over the last 2 seasons we’ve seen them grow closer and closer, and how important they’ve become in each other’s lives. Alongside this, they’ve shown they’re willing to sacrifice anything for each other i.e. Amy in Amy’s Choice choosing the real world based off of the one Rory is alive in, and Rory in The Big Bang committing to guarding the box she’s in for thousands of years. So, I find it very poetic that this story showcases this again. Rory is willing to jump off a building to his almost certain death to make sure Amy is safe, and Amy allows herself to be zapped back to the past by a Weeping Angel just for the chance to find Rory again. These two LOVE each other and that love empowers this episode so much.

TL:DR/Overview - The Angels Take Manhattan is a story that undoubtedly was made with love and care for this era of the show and its characters. It lets Amy & Rory shine as companions, and the way the mystery revolves around a noir novel is something I also enjoy. The biggest gripe I have though is once again my disagreement with how this era of the show has handled the Weeping Angels, and this episode is no exception, which makes it a very difficult one to rate. And when something is conflicting, that usually means a balanced B tier makes the most sense. Fantastic character work, but a poorly treated threat.

P.S: I am now in deadline season with lots of coursework, and so this may be my last review for a little while. Luckily, after that I'll be on holiday again and probably itching to write, so hopefully we'll be able to get another streak going again. Thanks for all the support as always :)

FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 8: JASON TAKES A BOAT TO MANHATTAN- 1989 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jason Voorhees wakes up at the bottom of Camp Crystal Lake. Tired of his surroundings, he takes a boat to the big apple and kills a bunch of people on the way!

Always loved this film and never understood why so many people dislike it so much compared to other Friday the 13th sequels.

Kane Hodder is the best Jason. Lots of fun/creative kills. I like the parts on the boat and love seeing Jason in New York. Tamara and Julius are my two favourite characters. Julius and Jason's rooftop boxing match is the best scene of the movie hands down.

The man Jason throws in the bar is Ken Kerzinger who plays Voorhees in Freddy vs Jason.

100 minute running time, the longest of any of the Friday films.

Poor box office results for Jason takes Manhattan caused Paramount to sell the franchise rights to New Line Cinema.

Djdkddjdkf the take on monopolies too, and the overburdened workers taking the damage, and the way the controlling interest can twist the narrative to cannibalize people against each other as a distraction while those at the top continue to profit. (And more ACAB jabs while they're at it.) American Tail DTV sequel coming for the jugular.

Maybe that's why it doesn't get as much attention... 🤔

#flowerspeak #an american tail: the treasure of manhattan island #an american tail #the way that mama mousekewitz straight up says 'no [the police won't help]' like. #this is the year 1998 folks that this movie came out #i mostly kid but the fact a review had said that the politically sensitive elements were out of place for an American tail #like ma'am???? did you even *watch* the first film??? what is not political about any of that??? #and honestly this one is presented in a more child friendly way than the first so i laugh. 'the first is more palatable.' sure jan.

[unproduciblesmackdown]

for fun & information, building on what’s laid out in this post, other known details either directly stated in other reviews &/or where one can confidently infer connections b/w vaguer info in several reviews to extrapolate a piece of lore include:

well for one thing the linked review mentions eva runs a cabaret, other sources (including the casting call) describe the ruby room as a speakeasy, presumably ft. cabaret. also implying that prohibition is underway

the linked review also describes jimmy as keen on dot, whereas another describes dot as in love with jimmy. i’m going to infer there’s mutual interest, also plausibly relevant to the fact that jimmy seems to always be in the same places / situations alongside dot throughout the show

by act two, four years after the titular events, the Alternate Timeline part of things is kicking in and there is some authoritarian regime

eva’s sister ingrid dies at some point, but is apparently alive for some or all of act two, according to the casting call having the actor play two roles in act two, including ingrid, but one different character in act three

linked review cites dot, jimmy, eva, and lady generosity as running the niagara falls lodge, but dot might have an especial leadership role, between being the protagonist and another review describing her as becoming a cool-headed, principled leader

lady generosity getting another shot at love is presumably with floyd yolk, the folksy drifter guitarist who shows up at the lodge

the french fur tycoon triplets are trying to pull some kind of scam, and/or perhaps scheme

the “figure from the past presumed dead” who shows up at the lodge, also to not Not cause problems, is richard whitney, presumedly presumed dead as of some later point in act one

apparently the first atomic bomb detonation happens in niagara falls, and our characters are “puzzled witnesses” to this. i don’t think they die, or even are necessarily imminently doomed to die because of it, but i wish i was more sure on this point lol. this may or many not a result of whatever the french trio are up to. we know the principle characters encounter the people responsible in at least one scene

#i think that's about all....versus yknow; info that can be found in the casting call that's not mentioned in that fb posted review #like the existence of franny the beekeeper. and her kept bees #just got a geography crash course like ok where's hoboken. oh nj but right across from like manhattan?? #then i pick up this globe beside me like oh okay i guess i see how that works #also sweating like i know niagara falls is b/w the US and canadian border but couldn't say in what state. oh western ny huh lol #all news to me idk where shit is #the panic of '29 #jimmy armstrong
