I just heard via carrier pigeon that people are flocking to this.

Does this count as doxing?

Not Jersey Italian enough. Chuk is probably more of a Spoons type of guy:

You forgot the whole Italian part. It's its own sub-culture in New England, how could you insult Chuk by forgetting such things!

Arden said:

Lightly anti-nuke? Meaning anti-nuclear war, which seems pretty ok?

Yes. Anti-nuclear war. Oppenheimer's opposition to the hydrogen bomb (the "super" they call it) and the inevitable arms race it would cause is a major theme.

there is another connection. the Westinghouse plant in NJ was used for the Manhattan Project. there was a supermarket chain right next to it. thats where my family shopped every week in the 70s.
The cleanup process started when there was a survey of Manhattan Project sites. The plant was inspected in 1976 and found low levels of radiation.[7] Westinghouse filed an application in 1988 with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to decommission those buildings. The demolition of the buildings was done from 1993 through 2004. During that period, certain radioactive contamination was removed from the site. However, some contaminated areas were covered with asphalt and concrete.[10] The license on the site was terminated by NRC in 2003 so that the site can be released for unrestricted use, although New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) disagreed with that decision.[11] In 2006, NJDEP sued Viacom (successor of Westinghouse) and others for the continuation of ground water contamination at the site.[10

Current development​

Due to the proximity of the Westinghouse site and other former manufacturing sites to the Watsessing Station, the Township of Bloomfield is working on the plan for transit-oriented development in that area. The Westinghouse site, although still a brownfield site with ongoing remediation, has been re-zoned into Commuter Oriented Residential District which is a mixed-use concept that includes high-density residential units which will be close to the train station.[3]

So do they gloirfy Oppenheimers wife and make her "Stunning and brave"? Because she was a fucking Commie lunatic that gave nuclear secrets to the Russians.

Uhh no to either. Klaus Fuchs was the reason the Soviets had nuclear tech as fast as they did though, and other then Kitty being a Communist party memeber I have never read anyhting to the effect that she sold secrets to the Soviets.

I loved it, but I like historical biopics. This one is more of an "interesting" one cause its very well paced, and the Trinity Test was stunning in 70mm IMAX

Robert Downey JR will probably win Best Supporting off this, Oldman played a perfect Truman, and Cillian Murphy was amazing as well.

Movie isn't anti nuclear, it was showing correctly that Oppenheimer himself was anti Hydrogen Bomb.

Is the audio ok in this or is it the traditional Nolan fucked up realistic audio?

Nolan has made the unusual decision to allow you to understand his dialog in this one

Hugely impressive for an R rated adult drama. Looking at 70M+ for the weekend.
