I eat lots of chocolate covered almonds and I don’t look Gaunt.

A year and a half ago, I had to have suspenders for my tool belt…no waist.

My father got that beat. He worked 40 hours a week as a welder in an automobile parts factory. Hollywood can go Brandon itself.

Murphy also acknowledged he’s completely frontally exposed in the movie.
Who wants to see that!
Not me

Cillian Murphy was always skinny. See “Sunshine” or 28 Days Later.

I enjoy his acting.

Does a movie about J. Robert Oppenheimer really need to show us his junk?

John of Gaunt. He's supposed to be my 17th Great-Grandfather.

Regarding Cillian Murphy, the guy is fairly slim to begin with. Peaky Blinders!!

Methinks I am a prophet new inspired
And thus expiring do foretell of him:
His rash fierce blaze of riot cannot last,715
For violent fires soon burn out themselves;
Small showers last long, but sudden storms are short;
He tires betimes that spurs too fast betimes;
With eager feeding food doth choke the feeder:
Light vanity, insatiate cormorant,720
Consuming means, soon preys upon itself.
This royal throne of kings, this scepter’d isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself725
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,730
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England,
This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings,
Fear’d by their breed and famous by their birth,
Renowned for their deeds as far from home,735
For Christian service and true chivalry,
As is the sepulchre in stubborn Jewry,
Of the world’s ransom, blessed Mary’s Son,
This land of such dear souls, this dear dear land,
Dear for her reputation through the world,740
Is now leased out, I die pronouncing it,
Like to a tenement or pelting farm:
England, bound in with the triumphant sea
Whose rocky shore beats back the envious siege
Of watery Neptune, is now bound in with shame,745
With inky blots and rotten parchment bonds:
That England, that was wont to conquer others,
Hath made a shameful conquest of itself.
Ah, would the scandal vanish with my life,
How happy then were my ensuing death!

No interest in seeing a movie about a traitor red spy.

Sam Waterston was the best Oppenheimer ever in the PBS series 30+-years ago. He was truly iconic in that role, almost like channeling the man. Few actors get it as “right” as they did “back in the day.”

His fellow actor Christian Bale did something similar in the movie, “The Machinist”. He was literally skin and bones.

just an almond a day, or in addition to whatever else he was eating?
I’d like to lose weight but i am not crazy.

So this fool starves himself to look like a guy who lived decades ago and only a handful of Americans could pick out of a lineup while the same Hollywood thinks nothing of making Snow White a transexual grotesque parody of what we know and love.
Oh in case you didn’t know it, the anti-American scumbags in Hollywood are on strike or something and it’s been about three months since they started this rant.
I guess nobody cares.
