Oppenheimer (Christopher Nolan, July 21, 2023) Movie • Page 37

Remember if you smoke weed or drink while watching a movie then you haven’t actually seen the movie.

 

If you do drugs you go to hell and then you die

 

only drug i need is my 36oz diet coke

 

Joke’s on you, I don’t watch movies drunk or high and I still can’t remember them!

 

Sparkling water and lightly salted popcorn for me. I can no longer do butter, I mean, butter flavored oil.

 

I used to sneak in a few white claws but I’m usually fine with just water now

 

How come I need an iPhone 12+ to download Threads?

 

Really odd considering it’s a glorified Insta add-on

 

it's called depression read a book people

 

damn I haven’t seen a movie in decades then

 

Maybe change your name to @grantground for a few months boi

 

I am sitting and waiting for my Barbie showing having just taken edibles half an hour before my Oppenheimer imax showing (fully bought into the double feature hype) and my wife is bringing us the sandwiches I made this morning (kept in a cooler in the car) so we could have a midday snack in between large popcorn refills. Was absolutely floored by Oppenheimer.

 

Dude, you should marry her.

 

You'd remember the experience just not necessarily the finer details. It's another plus about watching films high for me, then I can watch it again and it's almost like the first time lol.

 

finally saw this. so much of nolan's best scenes and filmmaking are here, and the trinity test sequence was a phenom to watch in imax. glad this is seeing a lot of success

 

Hot take: still of the opinion the visuals for the Trinity test itself were kinda shit; I expected a lot more than close up shots of the flame balls from the TNT they detonated for the shot.

 

I feel the same way. I think the 'no CGI' thing was a gimmick that hamstrung the impact of that scene. I am still hoping to see the movie in IMAX though, so maybe my thoughts will be different if and when I do that. The fire definitely looked more "real" than a lot of CGI explosions in movies nowadays, but I don't think the scale came across well.

 

There were some realllllly impressive looking shots of the expanding fireball during his visions towards the beginning of the movie that I wish they used for the test scene instead

 

I wouldn't say it looked like shit, I thought it looked pretty cool. But yeah, I do wish we could've had a more "full" shot of it instead of the collection of close ups.

 

Saying it looked like shit is obviously a stretch, but it was visually disappointing, which was very surprising given that so much of the rest of the movie was very much not. I am sure that for me some of it was down to how excited I was for the movie and specifically seeing how Nolan was going to visualize 'the bomb'. I do think I allowed myself to get overhyped, but from a purely visuals standpoint he is one of my absolute favorite filmmakers going right now.

Everything leading up to the test was masterful, but watching the actual explosion honestly just brought to mind that scene in Tenet when they crashed a real plane into a real hangar and it was actually very boring and slow and unexciting.

 

Haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since I walked out earlier. Absolutely incredible.

still can’t decide if we are supposed to believe Jean Tatlock was killed by someone else or herself?
