"Do you think Tony Stark would be Tony Stark if he wasn't a billionaire?"

I already love Ironheart.

I've been seeing a lot of people say they wish Tom would work with Christopher Nolan and I disagree on all levels.

Tom's whole thing is his devotion to his craft and the audience. That man worried about the money that movie goers would spend on tickets and food and wanted to make sure is money well spent.

He convinced execs to pay everyone during Covid meanwhile Nolan didn't credit 80% of the VXF behind Oppenheimer because he wanted to market the movie as all practical.

Nolan has certain expectations for his audience: they need to go this specific cinema that might not even exist in their hometown to figure out what the actors are saying.

He also said people should spend an absurd amount of money on tickets and he doesn't work his movies around the fact that some people can't pay $70 for a ticket.

Meanwhile, Chris McQuarrie and Tom have both said how they worry about audiences outside of the USA and the fact that we (I speak as a Brazilian that lives in Brazil and had to watch with subtitles even if I don't need them) will need to watch the movie and follow the subtitles along with it and that they'd spend substantial amount of time figuring out how that would go for movie goers.

There are multiple interviews of costars of Tom that talk about how he always worry about the audience, especially the audience outside of the US, from subtitles to even cultural behaviors and aspects.

I just think that their work ethic and approach is too different for it to work. Could it work? Probably because I think they're both professional, but it wouldn't be a fun experience for anyone involved.

“Before I shipped off, I used to sit on our front stoop smoking. Sometimes Steve was there drawing away on whatever spare paper we could squirrel away, sometimes it was just me. I’d sit there and listen to life happening. The kids were running around like absolute hooligans, there was always at least one engine going, the mas were hanging the laundry out to dry and chatting up a storm about Mrs. So and So from unit this or that. I memorized every little detail so that when I was overseas, I wouldn’t forget about life.” Buck lifts his hand and gestures towards the street. “Close your eyes and listen.”

I finished Dragon Age: The Veilguard today and I know it's divisive, but oh my god that is now one of my favorite games I've ever played. I loved the companions and my Rook so much and the entire point of no return is hands down one of the best video game sequences I've ever played. This is one of those games that is going to be sitting with me for a while.

And damn, Emmrich's romance is one of the best romances I've ever played, hands down.
