'It was a key scene. We should’ve been engaged in the moment. But we were so distracted.
This was Oppenheimer. My friends and I were supposed to be hanging on every word as the atomic bomb test scene approached. But all we could think was…
Sean Avery? Is that Sean Avery? I think it’s Sean Avery.
That’s when the whispering started. “Hey. Hey. That’s Sean Avery. Pass it on.”
And a game of telephone ensued. The next thing we knew, we’d missed several lines of possibly crucial dialogue in Christopher Nolan’s contemplative biopic.
Still, the surprise was worth it. It’s always fun to see NHLers or former NHLers pop up in major pieces of pop culture, especially because, let’s face it, hockey players tend to be stiffer than elite athletes in other major pro sports. We thus never know what types of performance we’ll get onscreen from a hockey player: maybe cringe-inducingly bad, maybe unexpectedly competent, but entertaining regardless of the outcome...
Sean Avery: Oppenheimer (2023), Amsterdam (2022), Tenet (2020), The Rocket (2005)
Avery actually has multiple speaking lines in Oppenheimer, which speaks volumes about Nolan’s trust in his acting ability. This wasn’t a silly, disposable action movie. This was a prestige drama with profound things to say, and Avery was tasked with holding his own in an important scene...'

They have since left four premature babies to decompose on their beds. They have since kidnapped, stripped, tortured civilians and tried to frame them as Hamas fighters for their propaganda. They have since shot people at refugee camps execution style. They have since targeted academics and poets and directors. They have since killed 86 journalists. Still no ceasefire.
psa: i know that many of us did NOT doubt this for a second, neither did i. this is targeted at the people who educated themselves for the first time about this genocide and discovered the absolute horrific things that Israel is capable of doing to Palestinians, with the unwavering support of its allies.

Precious Gift
The most beautiful part of @yamujiburo hanamusa's lore for me is Ash's emotional evolution and acceptance. For a character that surprisingly did not evolve much in its own journey (in a show full of evolutions) and made the same mistakes year after year, this proximity with Jessie is my most expected part of this story
