No Scavangers Reign. No Pantheon. No Freiren. Complete bullshit.
Awards shows are such a waste of time.
Middling movies for any other decade
I genuinely don't understand the hype. I saw Oppenheimer and thought it was the most average movie I've ever seen with a pretty coat of paint on it. I didn't even remember half the plot when I tried to explain it to someone later that same day. Where's all the love and awards coming from?
You don't remember the plot.
The plot that is literally history. Mostly of one of the most dramatic moments and arguably one of the best known time periods in human history.
Yeah, that's a big honking skill issue.
I love history. History is great. I do not give a single shit about this man.

I would've loved a movie about the Manhattan project and how it all came together. Oppenheimer's struggles meant nothing and mostly just added runtime.
A large amount of the movie just reminded me that I should rewatch The Imitation Game. A movie about someone who saved significantly more people than Oppenheimer killed and then his country murdered him before anyone even knew he existed. Alan Turing was a war hero. Oppenheimer was a little sad sometimes.
I enjoyed Oppenheimer a lot more than The Imitation game, and I think part of it is having more context and showing more of the character's life and accomplishments. The Imitation game didn't even mention Turing machines or Turing completeness.
The Imitation Game even implies they're breaking Enigma and doesn't really emphasize Marian Rejewski, whereas Oppenheimer cameos most of the important names in the Alamo project.
I don't think the imitation game was a great movie I just think the story of Alan Turning was much more interesting. I also personally didn't care for the cameo style of character run down but that's not really something they could've avoided given how many people worked on it. It wouldn't be possible to give every single one an actual character.

I love film. I turned Oppenheimer off half way because it felt like I was watching a bunch of fucking vines.
This person knows their shit. They called it film.
It's different than saying I love movies, no?
The sheer amount of garbage that HW puts out via streaming platforms is crazy. SO MUCH TRASH. And these two films are just the best ones out of piles and piles of trash. It’s so amazing how good screenplays never get developed and we get stuck with bullshit like Oppenheimer (a who cares film about nuke propaganda) and Barbie (a who cares film opining creatively about how humans and their social norms are fucking stupid and lazy and how it affects them). It should be noted that I haven’t seen or read anything about these films so you can disregard my opinion. I just wanted to comment about how bad streaming content is.
