@LuiselioYobare @CSMFHT They probably don't know how that ends either

@Krensharpawz @SquashFold @PostLeftWatch I remember he had some pretty deep depressive episodes so she probably figured he was a beta who wouldn't even try to control the media she consumed

@TheJustinBailey @HunterBiden @IfunanyaDelilah @X @elonmusk None, on a technicality because he doesn't ever see them

@foundring1 @teachergorman Why do you have the body of a teenage girl?

[S Peter Davis 🐀 @speterdavis]

@justderington @Thorfist7373 @mattyglesias This would be a great question to ask Christopher Nolan. Unfortunately I wasn't involved in the casting process.

[S Peter Davis 🐀 @speterdavis]

@justderington @Thorfist7373 @mattyglesias That would be a fantastic question for Christopher Nolan, I'm sure he'd be excited to answer, I can't speak for him but if you know his number I'd be happy to give him a call

[S Peter Davis 🐀 @speterdavis]

@justderington @Thorfist7373 @mattyglesias Do you have his number?

[S Peter Davis 🐀 @speterdavis]

@justderington @Thorfist7373 @mattyglesias Man, I'd love to ask him!

[S Peter Davis 🐀 @speterdavis]

@justderington @Thorfist7373 @mattyglesias Man I hate to answer a question with a question but I've answered your question twice, so I have to ask what the basis for your belief is, that he cannot possibly have any artistic reasons. My answer to ur question no matter how many times you ask is I don't have his phone number

[S Peter Davis 🐀 @speterdavis]

@justderington @Thorfist7373 @mattyglesias I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE HIS PHONE NUMBER

[S Peter Davis 🐀 @speterdavis]

@justderington @Thorfist7373 @mattyglesias I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE HIS PHONE NUMBER

@justderington @Thorfist7373 @mattyglesias I'm arguing that the actress may have been chosen for artistic reasons. You're arguing that she cannot possibly have been chosen for artistic reasons. You are the one making a certainty statement and demanding I debunk it. Again are you expecting me to contact him? Why don't you?

[S Peter Davis 🐀 @speterdavis]

@justderington @Thorfist7373 @mattyglesias Do you want me to call him? I don't understand. Why don't you call him? We have the same level of access. You're making a declaration about his creative process and demanding I debunk it. You're the one making the assertion, so go ahead and call him and straighten it out.

[S Peter Davis 🐀 @speterdavis]

@justderington @Thorfist7373 @mattyglesias Are you under the impression that I am personal friends with Christopher Nolan? This movie isn't even released yet, and you are demanding I justify artistic decisions in a movie neither of us have seen, and your summation out of the gate is there can be no possible reason.

[S Peter Davis 🐀 @speterdavis]

@justderington @Thorfist7373 @mattyglesias I think you need to direct your questions to Christopher Nolan.

[S Peter Davis 🐀 @speterdavis]

@justderington @Thorfist7373 @mattyglesias So this movie is in a quantum superposition where he doesn't need to race swap but also he does. I have no idea how to keep this conversation going from here so I'll bid you good day I guess.

[S Peter Davis 🐀 @speterdavis]

@justderington @Thorfist7373 @mattyglesias You're the one who has the theory, I'm asking you what your theory is. You are discounting any possible hypothesis that Nolan has an artistic reason. Okay, so it's not possibly an artistic reason. I'm not in his head. Tell me your theory. I'm begging you.

[S Peter Davis 🐀 @speterdavis]

@justderington @Thorfist7373 @mattyglesias You're the one who argued he had to make Helen black in order to win an award. Then you said he doesn't need to make Helen black in order to win an award. Now you insist that winning an award is the only possible reason he would make Helen black. You are the one backflipping.
