Oppenheimer...#NolanSoWhite

#1 Post by Monterey Jack »



Yeah, a shocking lack of POC in the cast...for this movie about the creation of the Atomic Bomb in the 1940s.

As with all previous treatments of the story I expect there to be total denial regarding the fact that Oppenheimer was a "POC" in the sense that he was a committed Red on all levels.

I can't see myself spending money on this needless remake of FAT MAN AND LITTLE BOY.

Red Letter Media guys spend several minutes hammering the DRONING Zimmerscore for this film which "makes the whole movie sound like a trailer":

What prolonged exposure to a Christopher Nolan sound/"music" mix does to a person... :lol:

Watching this right now.

How many young men went to see this and had no idea what was happening but were completely transfixed by Florence Pugh.

Have to admit, Nolan knows what he's doing -- throwing her in topless twice during a movie about scientists yelling at one another. :mrgreen:

...not that I'm complaining either. :lol:

Oh, I was deeeeeeeeeeeelighted. :D

Hilarious that, in certain other countries, they threw a digital little black dress on her for those scenes. :lol:

Seriously, she's a special effect of her own. 8)

On the other end, I'm exhausted by Emily Blunt on-screen. She's been playing the same miserable, unhappy, teary-eyed shrew on-screen forever now. I get it's one thing to be glum when aliens are running around your farmhouse, but she's been giving the same one-note performance for a long time and I'm over it! :mrgreen:
