I saw it this afternoon.

Fascinating, tedious, thrilling, laggy, edge-of-your seat, thoughtful, talky and about 15 minutes too long.

"Oppenheimer" is impressive.

Still, even though our sound system on the Super Screen DLX screen and audio was loud, I, and my boyfriend, still had trouble clearly hearing and understanding all of the dialog.

And, boy, is there ever plenty of dialog.

But, we managed to keep up. Be prepared, however, to put real effort into concentrating on listening and watching.

And, I might get flamed for observing this, but, if the two women in his life were depicted at least somewhat accurately in this film, I'll just say Oppenheimer had a taste for, if not a fetish for, brooding, unhappy, downbeat women.

Our showing piled on the preview trailers, of course. The new "The Exorcist" and another horror movie trailer were among them.

I bring up those particular trailers because, at least for me, the testing of the bomb scene in "Oppenheimer" is so suspenseful, fraught, nerve-wracking and, yes, horrifying, in a real-life and real-death kinda way, it made me feel silly about the fear I felt watching that stupid "The Exorcist" trailer.

I took away from "Oppenheimer" that it ain't Satan, God, Ghosts, Goblins, Zombies, Angels, or Vampires that are scary.

Plain old human beings are what are truly horrifying.
