Oppenheimer (2023)
Watched it last night. Yeah... so... it's a dramatization of Oppenheimer's life and story. Nothing really more to say than that. It is what it is. Pretty long though, 3 hours total. I fell asleep somewhere after hour 2 and woke up about 15 minutes before it ended. Didn't miss a damn thing that I could tell.
The explosion of the first test... seems like they didn't want to use any real footage of a real nuclear test. Did they maybe feel like the difference in the look of the shots would disrupt the flow of the movie somehow? I don't know. What they did end up creating in it's place looked FAR smaller than any kind of nuclear explosion. It was very underwhelming, and I think this movie had a moral duty to really demonstrate and relate just how unfathomably vast and powerful a nuclear weapon is. The real Oppenheimer was horrified by what he had created. And the movie showed that, but the explosion they showed looked more like a regular old fireball from a gasoline explosion. In my opinion, the bullshit explosion they used did more to disrupt the movie than using stock footage of the trinity test would've.

loved it.
Tried watching it tonight. Got about 30 minutes into it before I had to cut it off. There's so much Italian being spoken in the movie, and when I converted it to MP4 from the MKV I downloaded, I didn't burn in the subtitles. So I had to re-convert it a couple times trying different subtitle tracks before I got the one that added all the Italian parts. Will watch it tomorrow night I guess.
Instead, I watched...
The Killer (2023) starring Michael Fassbender.
The previews I saw for it on Youtube made it look like it was going to be some kind of start-to-finish high impact action marathon like a Jason Bourne movie or something, but... it really wasn't. It was okay. The flow was a bit weird the way it did "chapters" for each target he identifies. But the whole "he's a hitman who obsesses over details and methods" thing has kinda been done before, ya know?
yeah oppenheimer i think i tried to watch it as well but honestly i was so bored watching it i think my gf and i both fell asleep to it within an hour i haven't really given much thought past that and i actually really like cillian murphy's acting i think he's one of those hidden gems especially after the peaky blinders show last movie i watched was cold pursuit with liam neeson not a bad movie i've seen it before in theatres
but as far as a remaster is concerned i thought they did pretty well for just getting it started it could always be better but ive been enjoying the game on both xbox and pc i did read that they already released the source code i dont have the link for it but it would be interesting to see if it has most of the same coding
this was definitely a hard hit to us as a community i am gonna miss having him around for sure
