I just realized if I want to write about Oppenheimer for my final paper for my west class I probably have to rewatch it and it is So Damn Long. I’m also writing about it in comparison to a production I saw of Doctor atomic (the Oppenheimer opera (yes there’s an Oppenheimer opera)) but that will be a little bit easier bc I’m pretty sure no footage exists of that production so like at least I don’t have to rewatch that

#if curious the class is like. stories about the American west #and it’s fantastic.#one of the best I’ve ever taken #I was this close to writing about breaking bad for my final lowkey but I don’t have a Thesis #and I do have a Thesis here which is that Oppenheimer sucks #well. more. I want to look at how the movie Oppenheimer uses tropes of westerns #like. the single figure of an empty west reshaping the world #and the like the attraction of that as a story #and the thing is that it just like. is not fucking true #where they were resting wasn’t empty there were people within a couple of miles of where they tested #*testing #and they made a conscious decision to test anyway bc they decided that they couldn’t risk breaking secrecy #and that is NOT in the movie #and I think a lot of discourse I’ve seen about the movie about whether it glamourizes Oppenheimer or not #is kinda informed by that #bc my take on it is like I don’t think it’s depicting oppenheimer as a good person #but it is still depicting him as a story #like his guilt and experiences are very abstract and Greek tragedyesque promethean whatever whatever #it examines things in grand arcs and asks the question of to what degree he is complicit #but doesn’t show that conversation #doesn’t show anything beyond the very abstract #whereas the opera though it is hella stylized due to genre #when possible it draws from the historical record and uses the actual things people said #however it also recognizes that like there’s a lot that didn’t make it into the historical record and tries to fill those gaps #like. not perfect still and like while I think the opera did better there’s still much to be said for like. accessibility esp #anyway that’s the essay outline I was procrastinating it by posting but I think that’s basically the outline right there

Did anyone tell Ford (bonus doodles: Family Movie Night, 70s Classics)

#DID ANYONE TELL HIM. DOES MR NERD KNOW THEY MADE LIVE ACTION LORD OF THE RINGS MOVIES #FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING CAME OUT IN 2001 DOES HE KNOW. HAS HE WATCHED THEM #more importantly the HOBBIT came out in december of 2012. meaning Ford came back JUST in time to watch it in theatres #which I choose to believe he and Dipper did do. I'm gonna draw that actually. Those nerds love Tolkien you cant tell me otherwise #stanford pines #ford pines #grunkle ford #dipper pines #mason pines #gravity falls #GF fanart #fan art #fanart #digital art #comic #silly #my art

the real danger of spending too much time with friends is you stumble out of ten days of happiness and good food like oh my god THAT was real life. my job means NOTHING

#the last of the friends flew home monday but i'm still possessed by this knowledge #actually the point of life on this earth is to go to a good restaurant with seven of your friends and watch a movie after #that's it

I firmly believe that some stories can never be translated into a different medium and that's okay

Chat they made Minecraft into a silly goofy cringe movie even through Minecraft is actually about life and earth and the universe and tearing meaning out of the ground and molding it with your hands into something that you can be proud of. They made the pink sheep look ugly and funny for a cheap laugh when it should’ve been a beautiful moment where you, age eleven, come across this rarity, this beautiful anomaly and you hold its face in your hands and stare into its chocolate brown eyes and you realize what the whole world is about. Chat they made it into a joke

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.
