  1. CW: SPOILERS: House of Dynamite

    I think it's an interesting social comment that the way Bigelow (effectively) chose to impress upon the audience that we were dealing with a capable, ethical, rational POTUS, was to make him a Black man.

    TIL what the "nuclear football" is.

    Me: So wait, there is someone literally following Trump around all day with this? It's actually real?

    Greg: Yes

    Me: <hands to face> That's terrifying

    Greg: Yes

  2. I'm just starting to watch "A House of Dynamite" and realizing I need to treat this as fiction if the President of the United is portrayed as mature, measured, sane, moral, and competent rather than a feral, racist, cruel, convicted felon grifter, who has literally raped people, including likely children.
    We need to gaslight ourselves now that this world, our own, is normal.

  3. I JUST FINISHED WATCHING #HouseOfDynamite... the Netflix movie about a nuclear strike from an unknown source against the United States. A very good, but very frustrating, movie.

    It depicts the government's reaction to the crisis from 3 different points of view.

    My biggest takeaway was after watching the first POV of Washington and DC staffers.

    Professional decision-makers. I kept thinking how our "Fox news pseudo-celebrity" riddled clown car of a WH would handle such a complex crisis. 😱

  4. En train de regarder #houseofdynamite petit spoiler sur la trame narrative. Tu vois les mêmes events de 3 POV sans les dernières secondes. Et tu te fais berner par une voix. Et j'avais oublié que Kathryn Bigelow était l'une des meilleures cinéastes de sa génération. Ne regarde pas si tu es stressé par la situation actuelle. #cinema #netflix

  5. So the Netflix House of Dynamite movie currently talked about is not a bad movie per se, but one thing leaves me with a sour aftertaste;

    There's only one single nation on earth that benefits from scary nuclear war stories right now: Russia.

    I won't spoil the movie for you, but there are details that have me worried that somewhere in the decision making that had this movie appear now is a russian influence operation.

    Don't be influenced.

  7. Watched #HouseOfDynamite - well written, well acted, well directed - but also flipping terrifying.

  8. Uhm. Okay. This is a little stressful. Watching #Netflix #HouseofDynamite like.. maybe 1/4-1/3 into it and uh, this stressful..

  9. Watched #HouseOfDynamite yesterday and it is very good. Love the way it's structured. You get a view of the unfolding events from 3 different perspectives, which gives us a view of the big picture which the characters don't have. That just shows how chaotic it would be, despite the intelligence and fortitude of the players, and the vast resources they have to draw upon.
    Of course WH and Pentagon are issuing a rebuttal, doubling down against the points the film makes abundantly clear.

  10. I've already posted on how good House of Dynamite is, but if you need some further encouragement here is David Allen Green ( @davidallengreen ) setting out why its such a great film...

    But be warned; there are a succession of spoilers across his discussion.

  11. Have just spent two hours watching House of Dynamite.... absolutely brilliant!

    Kathryn Bigelow is a genius - I'm exhausted & wrung dry which sadly is not a common experience from a contemporary film. And yes it does compare well with the cold war masterpiece Fail Safe.

    I cannot recommend it highly enough!

  12. Je ne sais pas si je dois vous recommander – ou pas – de regarder #HouseOfDynamite de Kathryn Bigelow sur Netflix.
    Grand film mais 😱😱😱

  13. The new film #HouseOfDynamite sounds like a far-fetched fantasy where the US government is competent and has citizens' best interests at least partly in mind. Seems like it would probably be hard to swallow?

  15. House of Dynamite , recommended movie on Netflix about nuclear war in these times. Realistic, gives an impression how the bureaucracy works and how little time there is to decide. It also gives a good reminder there is no real effective defense against incoming ballistic missiles, at least not for 100%. When interested in the subject, this is also a good book to read, Nuclear War: A Scenario - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_

  16. Re last boost - reading reviews of #HouseOfDynamite this morning and they're hilarious.

    Very much "Tell me you're from and living in the USA without telling me that you're from and living in the USA" 🙂

    Without spoiling it - Hollywood's penchant for happy/glorious/spectacular/open-for-sequel endings has limited a lot of people's expectations.

  17. Interessant an #AHouseOfDynamite ist - neben Anspielungen auf #Obama und #Selenskyj auf Bildern im Hintergrund - auch die Tatsache, dass praktisch keine normalen Bürger™ (im Sinne eines Citoyen) dialogisch gezeigt werden. Der Film bildet allein die innere Logik des militärischen Apparats und der in ihm tätigen Menschen ab.

  18. Just watched the Kathryn Bigelow film "House of Dynamite".

    Complete genius. Fabulous cast, really clever multi layered storytelling, and it has a distinctly un-Hollywood ending, which I always appreciate.

    I enjoyed that.
