I still don’t care for the final “so you’d say this is….. faith???” closer, which just feels like its there to appeal to the “God spoke to me in the shower and I will not be questioning it, thank you” crowd but the rest of this still whips incredibly hard.
I should watch Alien next.

As powerful as the first time I saw it many years ago on a dark and stormy night.
As X said, we can pick apart the who and the what all we like, but 60 years on now, the argument really can’t be made that the “why” that Oliver Stone ended up at wasn’t dead on.
The Presidency is a transitory role, acquiesced completely to military might, and sadly every President since Jack has fully bought into the mania. And…

Fincher makes this shit look easy.
From the North to the South, Ebudæ unto Khartoum
From the deep Sea of Clouds to the Island of the Moon
Carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been
Carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen
We can sail, we can sail with the Orinoco Flow
We can sail, we can sail
(Sail away, sail away, sail away)
We can steer, we can near
With Rob Dickins at the wheel
We can sigh, say goodbye Ross and his dependency
We can sail, we can sail
(Sail away, sail away, sail away)

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I guess every Spielberg movie I watch, new or old after this will be spent understanding it in the context of The Fabelmans.
Divorced parents, a kid running off to live a fantastical life in a bunch of different worlds, all in the pursuit of making what’s broken whole again. There’s something there.
Oh and John Williams cranking out his best score of all time. Legend.
Good shit. The best shit. I hope Spielberg buries us all.

Despite his reputation for darkening the Batman films, I think this is Nolan at his most grim.
There’s no heroes to be found, just two dudes who despise each other and will stop at nothing to crush the other, no matter who’s soul is annihilated in the process.
In short: this movie is fucking sick. Read that emphasis however you choose.

The Julia Roberts bit really is one of the most wheels off things ever in a big mainstream movie.
All thanks to Bruce ❤️
This movie fucking rules.

Rad as hell. I still wish we got more answers from Prometheus, but whatever. If I can't have that, I'll happily take Ridley going fucking berserk instead.
