Barbenheimer: Part 2
Barbie 10:30PM Dolby: So well researched and written. With every vignette you can feel the delicate care to make details perfect. An excellent examination of life and worth. Loved the pink of course. So many specific, nuanced jokes to laugh at. I will say this: Life-Size walked so Barbie could run. Left feeling wistful and weird and content at being reminded that big dreams, big wonderment, and big feelings are all very human.
Barbenheimer: Part 1
Oppenheimer 10AM IMAX: I've never seen a Christopher Nolan film before so I wasn't sure what to expect. But I loved it. The intentionality with sound, light, and color. The abstract montages and story structure truly capture reality better than reality itself. Definitely want to watch again to catch all the details. Left feeling strangely hopeful that while actions are absolutes, the feelings over them are always relative and fluid.
@shayman I'm so glad someone I know is doing Barbenheimer! Going to do the double feature tomorrow; will report back!

Michael B. JohnsonIn my experience, you need to make the thing as you design the thing, and keep using the thing while you make the thing.
It’s all about iterating on the thing, demonstrating the thing, getting feedback and being thoughtful in your response.
That’s how you make a functionally beautiful thing.
At least, that’s how I do it.
