Everyone is saying how the new Oppenheimer will be the film of the year and how it could save Hollywood. Some other directors describe it as a kind of horror movie.

I think we should make a movie about Edward Teller instead of Oppenheimer, one that is historically accurate and not a Oppenheimer horror story.
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

All I know is that Nanos would not have put up with some clown cowboy like Oppenheimer and would shut the 1945 lab down as fast as he could. What was done at Los Alamos that could not be done elsewhere?
As you can see Los Alamos has always been a problem filled with problems and cowboys. Lewis Strauss/Tony Stark is great American hero who like Nanos "got it".
If Oppenheimer and his associates didn't leak the nuclear bomb secrets to the Soviets, America would have been the only country with a nuclear bomb
America could have potentially pushed the soviets out of eastern europe because it had a nuclear weapon and saved the millions of slavic (and other) people 80 years of crushing communism that they are still catching up from.
Classic line from Von Neumann: "If you say why not bomb [the Soviets] tomorrow, I say, why not today? If you say today at five o'clock, I say why not one o'clock?"
