  Without this we would have never gotten She Hulk.

  All the themes. The philosophy. The sci-fi. The political satire. I’m sure there’s a through line for all these confused & half cooked elements on the editing bay floor somewhere.

  The Edge 1997

  ★★★½ Watched 15 Oct 2023 1

  Has no business being as good as it is. A forgotten gem of the 90’s. Take a drink every time someone says “Charles” and you’ll die. Reunion of Baldwin & writer David Mamet. Whole cast does great, especially Bart the bear (RIP). Score is top knotch.

  Oppenheimer 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 25 Jul 2023 1

  It’s not the film the trailers sold. It’s a 3 hour biopic with a dash of Cold War spy thriller & a professional rivalry ala Amadeus. It broadly achieves it’s lofty and ambitious tone thanks to Murphy’s extremely confident and sure performance, and Nolan’s equally assured direction. The editing getting away from the film usually happens exactly when the score gets cranked to 11. It’s not about the bomb, it’s the man on the marquee.
