Hmm, that worked, but it's not terribly well designed. Someone needs to build a proper tool with the API.

It makes you navigate to your Twitter following page (fair enough as they buggered up the API). But then I just get an error when inputting my bsky credentials. Maybe you will see something else?

I tried this but it gives error message after error message.

Oppenheimer's life is clearly interesting enough to function well as a basically linear narrative. A Preminger-style approach would work well here: a bit of prolepsis / framing, but nothing crazy. An intelligent director would have seen how to shape his material.

Nolan both overestimates his intellectual capabilities, and fails to grasp what intelligence in filmmaking is. It's embarrassing, really. Even the non-linear narrative is handled badly. Think of something like 'The Cardinal': basically linear but with a simple framing device.

I'm shocked at how little criticism I've seen of how bad this film is in terms of craftsmanship: script, editing, music, etc. I can't even begin to care if it's politically incisive when it's so clumsy. In lieu of an epigraph, it starts with a paraphrase. Sub–sixth form level.

Are you just copypasting from Twitter? Is there even an API here?
