I seent it in IMAX since I'd never done that before. Didn't know a whole lot about the man himself going into it, so a lot was new. Didn't realize how many actors I knew were cast in it either. They need an accompanying documentary for the full educational experience.
Yeah, people who go into one of these without reading the biography sometimes leave with a false impression of having been learnt a thing or two. Like the Chernobyl show.

There's a bunch of fact checks out there to various degrees and detail.

There are people who think Nolan actually used The Bomb on set?

I watched it and think he deserved to get his security clearance yanked. Robert Downy Jr. who did an excellent job was right about everything too.

I suppose there may be an argument for karmic retribution, but imo was still a bit of a kangaroo court.

I don't think it was karma for the bomb but for his own arrogance and adultery. Strauss may have been petty but Oppenheimer should have treated him with respect. Oppenheimer didn't even respect his friend's marriages. What kind of person does that?

He had a weird habit of mixing sex with work too. It is like he used his job to hunt women.

The Barbie movie was much more clever than I expected. I can understand the movie being a modern classic.

The Wikipedia has a big section on the themes and analysis of the film.

killers of the flower moon - nope/10

Confused, incoherent, patchy, painfully drawn out in places, waaaaay too long overall, labours the same point over and over, much of the dialogue was mumbled, unintelligible and repetitive.
Some scenes were perfect, some looked like they'd been done by a kid with an iphone using his friends as stand-ins, the fire scene was completely out of place and jarring - and what the people in it were actually doing fuck knows.
Really comes across as the last gasp of an old man trying to get a last oscar before he dies, trying to rehash his long string of formulaic gangster films into one new oscar-worthy gangster film just like the last ones.

A real shame as its a riveting and important story.
If it were re-edited, and carefully, by a different editor, to about two hours it could actually be a great film.

Scorsese is a hack with two good films out of a lot, de Niro has been a hack for a long time, I think di Caprio is now a hack.

Much of the other acting was excellent, the indian woman should get the oscar.

Reading reddit comments for Barbie and The Marvels.

A lot of really strange men in this world. They don't like movies that pander to women. (???) Why not? Are they gay or something? Why would someone want to watch a guy do stuff for a whole movie instead of a woman? The whole manospehre is full of closet cases.

I think it's fair if it's not something you're into and put up with for the benefit of your date. That's not gender exclusive.

Where it starts getting silly is all the movie-length breakdowns on why it's part of some emasculating conspiracy or whatever. I don't want to watch that. I'd rather just go watch the movie, or not. This whole genre of grown ass "Alpha" men, who strapped into their big boy pants to go hate Barbie like it was their solemn duty is mind-boggling to me. Get home, flip on your Spiderman-themed LED monster, and begin furiously typing out your script about how toxic feminism is taking over Hollywood. Groan.

It's hard to wrap your head around a whole group of men who bemoan how women aren't into their comic book action fantasy stuff, but then get bent out of shape when people make women-centric comic book action fantasy stuff.
