A very interesting talk by Jennet Conant (James Conant's grand daughter) -

Her book, Tuxedo Park, was an excellent read.

That's a hell of an unscripted talk. Whatever she's on, I want some.

I saw the movie last night and it was terrible. The creators couldn't figure out whether to target a general audience, or your typical science buff. It failed spectacularly at engaging either. It was a major disappointment for those expecting a nuclear horror film with earth shattering atomic blasts, radiation sickness, and charred corpses. Despite hundreds of hours of restored nuclear test films sitting in the archives, there was hardly any footage of the bomb. The Trinity test scene was anti-climactic after building up so much anticipation. The nuclear accidents at Los Alamos, particularly the Demon Core accident, was painfully overlooked and a major ball drop.
It's really a longwinded drama film and a horrible one at that. The characters spoke in annoyingly contrived sound bites. A lot of time was wasted on the security hearings where the characters were barely heard against the loud melodramatic soundtrack. Of course, there were the obligatory sex scenes, including a surreal one that tool place during Oppenheimer's questioning. It was cheap and awkward way to emphasize how his privacy was being exposed to the world. Overall, it was not a great movie. I really struggled to stay awake watching it.

“Barbie” movie was absolute woke-signalling rubbish, but held at gunpoint and forced to choose, I’d take it over Oppenheimer.
