    The Social Network out of all movies/shows? I don’t know, Queen’s Gambit to chess players would’ve been a better example

      No doubt there are better examples. But him choosing the Social Network just shows the kinda guy he is. Plus the point of Oppenheimer went right over his head

      This guy is such a douche.

      Altman’s got a face that looks like he can’t wait to slap ads on ChatGPT.

    Wasn’t “The Social Network” literally about “brodudes” and simplified it down to “They did it to get chicks bro!”

      It is, it’s about the creation of Facebook hence the title. The movie itself is very well made and I highly recommend it, but using it as an example… yikes.

      I mean watching a bunch of dudes making something did inspire me to make something, but I can think of tons of other shows that does the same without the main character screwing over a lot of people to get where he wants.

    Oh yeah, let’s use the Nazi opportunist Oppenheimer as an inspiration so we can sweep the fact that the USA recruited him from the rubbles of the German Reich because they were so impressed with his cruise missiles.

      we did recruit Nazi scientists, that’s true, but last I checked, we did that after WWII was over and the Nazi empire was, in fact, rubble.

      I should not need to explain why the events of Oppenheimer take place before that point.
