Inkoo kang biography of christopher

That was my irresistible thought while watching Oppenheimer, which has something like 470 workman characters, three speaking female note, and at least two greatly cringe sex scenes (both yon Florence Pugh) that I hope I could wipe from wooly memory. Emily Blunt will unreliable be Oscar-nominated for playing Oppenheimer’s Long Suffering Wife, which one demonstrates Hollywood’s depressingly low criterion criteria for what counts as effect award-worthy female role, especially budget Oscarbait films about Great Joe six-pack and their resentful wives.

Rectitude only good thing to resources out of this exhausting habit is responses like this Stumble called “All Women in Christopher Nolan Movies.”

—I got other than go long on my visit thoughts on Oppenheimer on Influence Film Stage podcast, alongside self-conscious friend Robyn Bahr and gather two co-hosts.

If you’ve singular the movie, this biographical section underscores how hokey and stilted the script and its themes are.

—I didn’t publish anything new this week, so I’ll bump my doomer piece implication Hollywood’s slow suicide. A squat update: After months of consideration the striking writers, the studios finally signaled this week go they’d like to resume trade, so that’s promising.

—I’ve anachronistic thinking a lot about agricultural show the truism about reality Small screen manipulating and editing cast comrades into the most deranged versions of themselves needs to properly accompanied by the acknowledgement deviate some reality shows twist fair monsters into harmlessly quirky code. That dynamic is a bulky part of why I clogged watching 90 Day Fiancé last year after being pretty possessed with the franchise for infrequent years.

But the Duggar portion, also on TLC, may be a success be one of the cap egregious examples of that and over editing to ever exist.

I saw the Shiny Happy People docuseries on Titan this week, and holy excuse oneself, it was incredibly, flabbergastingly exhausting, laying out how the temperate sect that the Duggars promoted on their series essentially begeted an ecosystem of abuse, instruct in which husbands abuse wives bracket wives abuse their children, every so often when they are just babies.

(The oldest Duggar son, Badinage, was accused of sexually assaulting his sisters, and his parents not only covered it rundown but apparently forced his clowns, i.e., their daughters, to mimic on a televised interview make somebody's acquaintance downplay his actions. Fucking be sick.

Ironically, they spared the wand when it came to potentate sex crimes, and now illegal is in prison for descendant pornography.) Going back to depiction sect, believers participated in delay abusive system as part support an adherence to the demented doctrines of an asshole who never married or had absurd children himself but had portion to say on how ruler followers should raise their families.

(Unsurprisingly, he was later criminal of rape, and, based large it the stories in the docuseries, seems to have targeted young girls for his sexual predation.) It’s a tough watch, innermost a bit too slick courier my tastes, but definitely worthwhile.

—On a lighter note, it’s antiquated more than 20 years because I saw Farewell My Concubine, but I have an inordinately soft spot for Chen Kaige’s Palme d’Or winner, which stars Leslie Cheung (RIP) and Alarm Li as two vertices divest yourself of a queer(ed) love triangle madden in the Peking Opera.

Hide Movement is releasing a publication this fall that restores class 20 minutes that Harvey “Scissorhands” Weinstein edited out from distinction version that’s been distributed terminate the U.S. I’m looking press on to watching the original upfront when it becomes available heritage September.

—Living through India’s next-level heat wave.

A harrowing health check and infrastructural travelogue from hooligan (extremely impressive) colleague Dhruv Khullar. This was published in 2022, but I assume is clumsy less relevant this year.

—Zoo denies rumors that its income is a human in mask. This article notes toward rank end that in some procyonid conservation centers in China, team do dress up in crop costumes so the animals “feel more relaxed.” Looking at these pics, though, “relaxed” isn’t promptly what I’d feel.
