this picture has such bad vibes. it just asked me if i know what bitcoin is.
There’s something inherently unpleasant about them playing poker on a pool table. You have both the space and the money for a pool table but you don’t have a regular table to sit at? Or you did but you’re choosing to play on the pool table? There’s no good explanation for something like this. Get a real table and stop living on the set of a manopshere YouTube channel.
I would guess it’s an AirBnB:
-Grey/white everything
-extremely light on decoration and what is there doesn’t match what I would expect thoseguys would like (a framed landscape painting, metal leaf statue)
-simultaneously clean but a mess due to beverage containers everywhere. The guys can’t have have occupied this space for more than 72 hours
Looking at it, I’d guess that it’s an apartment complex clubhouse for most of the same reasons.
Just some dudes rocking while their parents are out of town
We had an old pool table once because a friend was just giving it away. Almost never used it for pool, but it did get a lot of board game use.
Also GET YOUR FUCKING DRINKS OFF OF THE FELT! This makes me feel like they aren’t using it as a pool table, which is a shame cause pool is way more fun than poker. And I like playing poker
I think it’s practical in a way. The pool table surface is similar to that of a poker table. I imagine it’s also higher than a regular table which makes it easier to quickly check under your cards.
It’s practical until someone inevitably spills a beer and you have to clean it out of the felt.
It means you need to get the table resurfaced because no matter what, a ball is gonna roll a bit different over that stained area than it would otherwise
If you put your tv that high up on a wall you’re dead to me.
Oppenheimer truly is a gambler’s movie
That room is lit like a supermarket and it has about as much charm and personality.
Everything about this picture looks profoundly unpleasant, the harsh lighting, the dudebros engaging in poker, the most basic unimaginative dudebro activity, having a pool table in your living room, having a red pool table, putting beverages on the pool table because apparently you want to destroy it, putting up bathroom tiles in the living room, the depressing grey furniture, the sad and pointless picture on the wall, the TV so close to the ceiling. This is the living space of a man whose personality consists of sports, beer, the one transphobic joke, mild sexism and nothing else.

It was movie man.
I am so thoroughly content skipping a movie about a great man of history and his quest to turn minorities into ash
Is the movie any good?
I enjoy all of Nolan movies but had to turn this one off about 40min in. I may give it another chance someday. The dialogue was unbearable. I think Nolans other movies being clearly supernatural nonsense fiction give them a pass in this regard. I felt embarrassed by the movie.
It’s good, not great. It’s 45 minutes too long, ends with an irrelevant subplot that retreads the themes we’ve already covered, and has a bunch of needless cuts. The beginning of the film treats famous physicists like Marvel superhero reveals and is unintentionally very funny. The 30 minutes before and after they detonate the Trinity atom bomb are some of the most harrowing scenes I’ve seen in a long time, and capture how horrible the creation of this monster was. It’s not a flattering portrait of Oppenheimer, and is resolutely anti-nuke by the end of the film. The fact that we don’t even see a Japanese person once is uh certainly a choice but overall the politics aren’t completely fucked, and the movie itself is well made (mostly).
Ugh it sounds like it’s plagued with the same issues most other modern blockbusters are.
I liked it but the politics are lib and the Robert Downey jr. plot is boring and pointless. Would have been way more interesting if it had focused on where the uranium came from and what happened to the people who got nuked. Even the brief “nuclear horror” scene is nothing compared with a truly disturbing film like Threads.
I think the fundamental problem is that the movie is about Oppenheimer, not the bomb. The only scenes he isn’t in are basically the RDJ ones, he’s in every other one. I don’t know if he ever visited Hiroshima or Nagasaki, but he definitely didn’t right after the bombs were dropped. They definitely needed to show more of the evils he was complicit in, rather than just making him a tortured genius.
Watched it with the hextube, it was decent, 7-8/10 or so
