it’s a video of ron pearlman on instagram live or tiktok or something and he’s saying, “there’s a lot of ways to lose a house, and everybody knows who you are and where you live” it’s pretty gangster

Did you happen to hear the 5+ minute discussion of snacks as meals? Their banter isn’t really a big deal, and mostly fine, but it felt a little excessive today
Haven’t listened to this one yet. Looking forward to checking it out

Is that the same one where one of them was blown away by the notion of a person cooking a steak for just themselves? Because that was weird and was kind of a throwaway. But I do generally find them to have a very amusing dynamic whether they’re on-topic or off-topic.
I just watched The Day After Trinity and they didn’t mention this as I recall. They did mention Enrico Fermi at the Trinity site taking side bets as to whether the entire state would be destroyed, I got a kick out of that.
lol. I’m not sure. It was the episode posted yesterday about the strike but I fast-forwarded through most of the prattle so may have missed it
I only know about the Oppenheimer thing because of Hank Green. According to him, Oppie got academic probation.
I think Fat Man and Little Boy (1989) is on Pluto rn. Idk if worthwhile. Edit: read Ebert’s review. He said it stinks.
They just celebrated their fifteen year anniversary!!
LMAO their very first review was an Indiana Jones movie lollllllll

I’m kind of interested in Oppenheimer’s story after the bomb when he became its biggest opponent begging people to forget his biggest accomplishment. He got so loud the US treated him like a terrorist and his legacy became something else for a while.
And yet I say again I don’t see what Nolan will bring to this story that I don’t get from Wikipedia. A bunch of old white dudes have been singing its praises but I am not moved.
You might like a few of these short (~3 min each) old clips of Freeman Dyson talking about Oppenheimer. He found him disappointing and didn’t particularly like him, except at the end of his life, after he was beaten down.
Oppenheimer comes up occasionally starting with this clip through #85 in the playlist. Dyson actually calls him a bigotted (not sure what he meant by this) old fool. Dyson had a great sense of humor and was pretty easygoing, liked by everybody afaik. I have to take it seriously when he says something like that about a person.

The gushing praise by old white dudes (with exceptions obv) is starting to make sense
Well, that’s physics. Or do you mean praise of the movie?
Watching these clips again. #84 he talks about a reprimand he got from Oppenheimer because he and David Bohm liked to eat at a black-owned restaurant. Princeton in 1948.
I mean praise of the movie. What other context were you thinking?? I missed it.
Unlike Dyson, most physicists (all white, many old) praised Oppenheimer. I don’t follow movie commentary/reviewers.

Sorcerer is sure taking its time. Almost an hour in, and they are finally setting up the basic concept of the movie.
Yeah the first half (character intro) is almost independent from the second one (actual mission) from a strict narrative pov (but to me the time taken before dropping you into the hellhole is also part of why it works so well). Did you like the second part at least ?
He was more known in the theatre before Seinfeld. He had already won a Tony around the time Seinfield was starting, which is no small achievement. If Seinfeld had never happened he would have at least had a long successful career in the NY theatre scene.
Liked Dead Reckoning-Part uno. It is intentionally funny in spots, the villain was interesting (as far as these things go), and thought the sequence in Rome was great. The train sequence was really cool too, but also maybe a bit repetitive in a sense. Would still recommend tho.
