Honestly, he would prefer to talk about why blacked-eyed peas were called black-eyed peas. It takes a certain type to do that stuff I think.

He was an extremely interesting man, but he didn't want to talk about it much. I am retired army and he served during WW2, before being injured and taking a position at Cal Tech (Los Alamos) so he would open up with me.

Grandfather was a POW in Japan but made it back. Never talked about the war unless it was his birthday party when his war buddies would come.

Its weird, I spent 5 years of my life in Iraq and Afghanistan but don't talk about it with anyone who doesn't have a shared experience. I don't understand it.

We probably wouldn’t understand it.

he was one of the hated directors by the far left, due to his casting choices (no Indians in Dunkirk; no Japanese perspective in Oppenheimer) and his “right wing” plots like “anti-occupy Wall Street” in TDKR (since Bane attacks theirstock market) and “a supporter of the Bush era patriot act” (since they ignored the whole Lucious Fox position and Batman destroying the tech).


quote:

He portrayed Oppenheimer as a communist.


What if we all collectively stopped making up stupid shite?

Collectively it would be great. For you personally it would mean extinction

Just a heads up to anybody watching at a Regal, my showing started after 12 minutes of ads and two trailers. Usually there are 20-25 minutes. Could just be my theater, but keep it in mind when you go see it.

Good looking out. I can't remember the last time I've seen a movie that didn't have 30 mins of trailers

Yeah, you gotta give odyssey some time. Right now, everyone will be on a high. Gotta wait and see how you feel about it month's from now, or after another rewatch or two.
