You gotta respect the guy’s commitment to not making anything he doesn’t absolutely love.

Alex Garland’s Civil War is not about American polarization. It’s about the soul-numbing grind of war photojournalism. I really enjoyed it 🤷‍♂️

3 Body Problem is very, very good. Takes a brilliant book series and streamlines it into a lean, effective piece of sci-fi. Hope they make like 4 more seasons.

Script's coming along. Although I wish I was working faster. Fall is always so busy with work and family stuff.

'People came alive through words. They crossed from past to future on bridges of language.'

Historian John Dower on cultural cross-pollination in post-war Japan. What a beautiful pair of sentences.

“Oppenheimer was fine I guess but in the rally scene all the American flags had 50 stars when in reality there were only 48 states at the time! The 50 star flag was not flown until 1960, a full fifteen years after the events of the fi-

Recording this week :)

Relax his Wi-Fi just dropped for a sec

Oppenheimer is a hell of an achievement. A breathless, anxiety-inducing character study. It's scary, it's visceral, it gets under your skin.
