John Carpenter: “Oppenheimer was OK.”
Is this the most beautiful(visually) movie ever made?
The show didn't capture the essence of the games: Fallouts were comedies!
Fat=bad, Bald=bad, Beautiful=good.
Why the fight scene is black and white? Will they release color version?
Better than the original... which is a bad thing, because...
The director think the movie can help Jake Gyllenhaal win awards.
Anyone bought the 4K Blu-Ray?
Better than Venom 1&2, Morbius, Across the Spider-Verse.
I don't understand: Why Isabela Merced said she can't go to police until 18?

Is there a First Reaction that says a movie is bad?
How about conscription? Most countries draft men only:

And we are talking modern militaries, body size and strength shouldn't matter that much, militaries use guns and missiles. Why do most countries think women can't handle guns? How hard can it be to use a gun or press the button to launch missiles?
I didn't forget Star Wars, I said: "Star Wars 7~9 was better than 1~3." Yes, 7~9 was bad, but 1~3 was worse. And Dark Fate was better than Genisys. New Tomb Raider? Old Tomb Raider was a success and led by a woman. When movies led by men fail, no one will use them as the reason why movies fail: Genisys, SW 1~3.
She is hot! I've no complaints about it. And Indy 5 was better than 4, Star Wars 7~9 was better than 1~3. Using women as leads has nothing to do with quality.
When they announced they will change the director for sequel Dawn I had the same concern: "Why? The first movie Rise was great. Why not use the same director? Who is Matt Reeves? Cloverfield? Meh, it was average."
But Dawn turned out to be the best in the trilogy. When they announced Matt Reeves will do the third movie: War. I was happy: "Yes, Dawn was great! I've faith in Matt Reeves!" Then War turned out to be the worst in the trilogy, I'd say War was the only bad movie in the trilogy.
Did you play any Fallout game? The games are absurd and ridiculous. And the praise from the creator means nothing, because adaptations help sell their original works, most creators wouldn't bad mouth adaptations… beside Alan Moore.
That is how people survive Nazi's Germany. I remember a chapter in Adventures of a Bystander by author Peter Drucker. He criticized no one dared to question Nazi, not even famous scientists, scholars, and politicians. Because people are afraid to lose their jobs.
Now we live in the same society: the right for free speech was a thing of the past.
I have the same question for years, I can't figure it out. I wish Corridor Crew can analyze it. From the director commentary, he was very proud for the scene, but he didn't reveal the secret:
Morgan Adams (Davis) jumps through a window at 27:18 and lands in a moving horse-drawn carriage beneath her. It’s show in a single take and clearly Davis in the carriage as it rides towards camera, so Harlin adds “I defy you to figure out how that was done.” He says there’s “a little magic” there, and it’s clear that something digital is afoot as the stunt person hits the carriage seat and then flips the hair back to reveal Davis. It was 1995, though, so color me impressed.

No, I'm quite good looking.
I thought it was a clever design choice, because the emperor had limit power in the world of Dune, most powers hold in the Houses, Guild, superpower women cult(I don't remember the name).
