<— finally watching Tenet.
I get the feeling that “don’t try to understand it” is going to be the best way to enjoy this film.
Oh thank goodness I was wondering when Michael Caine showed up.
Time to set the “number of minutes until a convoluted meeting” meter back to zero. Again.
BRANAUGH: Did you like that take Christopher?

NOLAN: No I want the full Pacino please.
Well that was an interesting combination of fun set pieces and absurd exposition.

One question, though: in the final assault scene, who the hell was everyone shooting at?

I guess this will have to do until ARMY OF THE DEAD comes out.
Oh FFS...
UPDATE: I’ve made it through Part I. So far it’s... okay. Not great, not awful. But as @Yair_Rosenberg noted it’s weird to call this the Snyder Cut since he that would imply he’s cut something.

1) Yesterday I wrote about a recent dust-up at the @AtlanticCouncil. Give it a read: washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/0…
2) Today @elianayjohnson has a @FreeBeacon story on the exact same thing. Give it a read as well: freebeacon.com/national-secur…
3) Johnson is a good reporter and probably talked to more think tank folks, but I would suggest that the facts presented in both pieces are pretty much the same. What’s different is the interpretation of those facts.

While I obviously think the toddler analogy explains an awful lot of Trump’s behavior, this @axios story — which contains the #ToddlerinChief entry below — also shows that it is nonetheless an incomplete explanation. (1/3)
This section shows Trump’s culpability in the post-election madness and no one should forget it. (2/3).
Finally, I can’t shake this quote from the story from my head. I annoy comprehend the mindset of someone who knowingly participates in this kind of event.

Thanks to the Capitol Police for saving the House Whip of the Leopard Eating People's Faces Party from having his face eaten by leopards.
God bless the Capitol Police for protecting this firebrand of the Leopard Eating People's Faces Party from having his face eaten by leopards.
I applaud the leader of the Leopard Eating People’s Faces Party to call on leopards not to eat blue people’s faces.

I’ll believe that Trump is growing into the presidency when his staff stops talking about him like a toddler. thedailybeast.com/trump-works-ov…

Gonna watch the season finale of The Mandalorian before the spoiler embargo cracks. Based on the reactions so far, it’s the first time in many years I’ve watched anything Star Wars with high expectations, which means...
Watched it.
Thoughts:

1) Was there fan servicing? Yes. Was the fan servicing earned? Also yes!

2) Favreau/Filoni should thank J.J. Abrams for lowering the bar and making them look like heroes.

2) An episode that pleases both @texasinafrica & @SonnyBunch is impressive. Most impressive.
