    I'm getting excited about Oppenheimer coming out in a few days. The early buzz is that this is Christopher Nolan's best work yet. That's a high bar.
    If anyone wants to get some background on the story before seeing Oppenheimer, Fat Man and Little Boy is pretty good. It stars Paul Newman, John Cusak, Laura Dern, John McGinley, among others. It gives a good overview of some of the characters and background, as well as political themes. John Cusak’s character is actually a fictionalized character made of a composite of men who worked at Los Alamos on the Manhattan Project.
    It can be rented on Amazon Prime for like $3.

      I prefer to go in with no spoilers. I don't even want to know where they are thinking of dropping the bomb.

            It actually is. Lots of Asian countries are upset about it, not just Ted Cruz.

              Be that as it may, it's a crayon map that doesn't even seem to include Europe. What's really funny is that Ted is railing against the significance of the 9 dashes, which is at the heart of controversy, but the map only has 8 dashes. I like to think that the movie's creators intended that as an ironic joke on a joke.

                Could be, but hollywood does have a track record here. If it is a joke, it is in incredibly poor taste.

                  That's a fair point. The market for movie tickets is much larger in China than Vietnam. I still think it's a silly thing to get upset over.

                    Ha. OK, Lebron.

                      I'm a liberal guy, but I'm still confused when it's okay to be a capitalist and when it's not.

                          Best Nolan movie EVER!
