@SonnyBunch A key point is that Nolan has surpassed Tarantino as the biggest director of their generation, and he's figuring out what to do for his 14th film.
@SonnyBunch I wonder if he's going to use excuses. "Kill Bill: Coda is a 2 1/2 epilogue to Kill Bill, and part of that film. The Popinjay Cavalier is an adaptation of a play and not part of the film oeuvre." If anything is an Oppenheimer sized hit, that'll retroactively be his last film.
@JoshuaMWilkes One complication is that there are serious questions about whether the Xia dynasty (China's first dynasty) existed or whether it was made up for political reasons. That makes it easier to believe something that's more documented was faked.
@wesyang The New Hampshire state legislature is one of the largest on the planet, and for one of the smallest states. There are 200 state representatives for each US representative in the state, so this may not represent anything significant.
@SonnyBunch He also does the annoying thing of criticizing something without watching it. We've got to normalize calling out people for calling something that is acclaimed garbage without experiencing it.
In 2021, The Simpsons' most reclusive writer from its golden era did an interview and in the middle of it, he gave one of the best writing tips I've ever heard. Like it's legitimately something I still think about and utilize all these years later.
Just the best.
The pinnacle of the show to date. Best performance, best stories, and a beautiful in real time reconstruction of the narrative engine that was, at that point, fifty years old.
Incredible stuff.
