100%! We stick to vanilla everything as much as possible for this reason (among others).
Stuff we developed in 1999 still runs. No code updates.

Yet again we’re reminded that top to bottom, most people have no clue about what they’re doing, faking it without making, without reason nor adequate technology.
All true. But still disappointing from the rare female director capable of building genderless films. (59/60)

So what might have been a different launch at the target, becomes a self-repeating cliché, “par for the course”, “reap what you sow,” et al. Oh, here comes the scene of a guy puking because he’s stressed. Someone always pukes under stress. (58/60)

Even books where I can learn exactly why we choose psychopaths and nuclear wars RIGHT NOW, IRL.
Maybe I’m oversaturated by the reality, but the film hasn’t touched me in any emotional or intellectual way whatsoever. It left me indifferent. (57/60)

the obnoxious POTUS PR stunts to Phil Collins’ drums. We’re reminded that the ultimate faith of humanity depends on the incompetent psychopaths We, the People, elect. But, really, I have Twitter/X, Threads, YouTube and Bluesky for that. (56/60)

But soberly, the only 2 innovations in Bigelow’s own growth as an artist I’ve noticed are:
1) the placement of the title of the film in the middle of the timeline;
2) the use of color in the opening and closing titles. (53/60)

As in the film, I’ll feed you repetitions. Yes, form-wise, it’s a solid 4 out of 5 Kathryn Bigelow. Her recipe, again. The pseudo-documentary style, the framing, a bit of wry humor here and there, the as-realistic-as-it-can-gets. Though not quite: the Pentagon had to make a statement… (52/60)

But The House of Dynamite isn’t an art house movie. Nor a “found footage” horror, either. It’s a big budget entertainment piece aspiring to sit on two chairs. Veggie protein popcorn with a hipster pretense. Nor here, nor there. (50/60)

You may say it’s “the way the artist sees”. That art isn’t supposed to give answers. Art is supposed to ask questions. And I’d agree. (49/60)

A scene from a Chinese restaurant: a menu with random numbers to choose. Except they’re flying in a helicopter to a bomb shelter. Is yours ready and stocked for the next decade, by the way? (48/60)

No. Here, we’re served a self-repeating Naomi Klein spiel on Bad State -Ism. No one brings anything new to the discussion, even less suggesting what to do. Idris Elba’s POTUS stares, clueless, at a list of possible retaliatory strike targets. (47/60)

Very up-to-date.
But otherwise? Why choose an extensively documented, explained, filmed, acted out, rediscovered and re-discussed fear — after Germany reopened its coal power plants — and retweeted even by Elon Musk.
To add to it all, we’d need an exceptionally new take on the subject. (45/60)

The opening titles remind us IN BIG LETTERS how current government officials have left one disarmament treaty after another. Yes, thank you for the depressing reminder. Also, thanks for the quick CUT TO pictures of Zelenskyy in negotiation, hanging on the wall of the White House. (44/60)
