Yeah, that's another plausible explanation for both scenes. I would have liked to see some visual highlights of it, such as Bob being freaked out and pulling the trigger only for nothing to happen (with Bob being shown cycling the bolt to eject his previous empty round before the penultimate scene).

They just can't help it. Holocaust guilt and AIPAC make for a powerful combination across all parties.

These are just minor nitpicks in what's surely an Oscar contender for best director, best screenplay, best cinematography, best score, etc.

took me out of what was otherwise a strong scene. If PTA's attempt was to convey Bob's discombobulation and washed-up nature after the previous events, (despite having used guns in the past) it didn't work because see Bob use the rifle only minutes (?) before.

The scene where Willa is mag dumping a Negev(?) LMG has her half shouldering the gun in between her arm and chest, which would never work IRL.
Secondly, Bob creeps around with his borrowed hunting rifle with its bolt only half closed (and maybe two rounds in the chamber). It looked very goofy and...

...even more relevant now than when the movie was shot last year. The breakout performance by Chance Infiniti really showed she can hold her own against vets like DiCapprio and Penn.

honestly, the only gripes I have are small and only had to do with how Bob and Willa handled their firearms.

I just got back from seeing it in a Marcus Ultrascreen (unfortunately the picture didn't fit the wider aspect ratio and left vertical bars on both sides).

It's a very timely movie about not giving up on fighting for one's ideals even in the face if severe repression. The ICE/CBP/NG villains are

Trump is failing Ukraine — that will only change if he gets tough on Putin If the U.S. president is serious about a ceasefire, escalatory measures may well be the only way to make it happen.

Okay, but why attack an LDS church?

The term RINO has no meaning any longer since the GOP no longer exists. You must mean MINO, MAGA In Name Only, as it's much more accurate.

Few people care about domestic violence because it's so common. School shootings are moving that way, too.

Some important information to add context and nuance to the possible motives of the Kirk assassin.

tldr: People are complicated.

As a follower of Christ, I'm pretty confident in saying that many of these folks are "Christian" in their cultural trappings, and nothing else. The fruit of God's work in their lives is missing and leads one to conclude that Matthew 7:21-23 applies to many so-called influencers.

This kind of stupidity?

Insect populations drop even without direct human interference, a new study finds Research published this month found that even in pristine, untouched areas, insect populations are still on the decline. Climate change is a likely culprit.

These data are important; we need to face this head on: "Even in areas relatively undisturbed by human activity, insect populations are on the decline, with climate change as a likely culprit." ("Pristine areas" really?, but the overall point, yes.) #insects #nature #climate #climatecrisis 🧪

New COVID-19 ‘Stratus’ Variant XFG Now In 38 Countries, WHO Monitoring.

90% chance these tariffs either get applied for a few days and then paused, or extended again for specious reasons. Watch what Trump does, not what he says.

What a proud, handsome lad.

One step closer!

What a mess of class the DDG-1000 is/was. Too ahead of its time to be bought in large numbers, too early to enjoy mature railgun tech.

One step closer to my dream.

Training flight!
