Made me actually want to read a Gillian Flynn book. I always just thought of her as just an airport novel titan but this story is pretty brilliant. ittedly the dialogue was pretty painfully 2010s in some early parts especially with the sister but lets not pretend some idiots dont actually talk like that!

People calling this mysoginistic are showing their asses. This is drawing on an earlier 60s-70s feminism engaged in economic issues thats fallen to the way side.…

Nic Cage defeats George Soros through the power of love and forgiveness

Oppenheimer

2023

★★ Watched

Much like Oppenheimer himself it’s interesting but incredibly cowardly, somehow being completely apolitical about some of the most inherently political things on earth. This makes the movie ultimately an exercise in uselessness because like usual Nolan has nothing to say outside of form. The movie is so focused on Oppenheimer the person who seems to have a complete lack of any conviction and since Nolan refuses to add any of his own, the whole thing amounts to the same murky stupidity which ultimately defines Oppenheimers legacy.
