Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

A House of Dynamite (2025)

Radar picks up a missile aimed at the United States -- is it a deliberate attack? A launch error? A test? A data glitch? And, if it's real, who's behind it and how should the U.S. respond? We take it in turns to follow the action from different perspectives including the the base that would launch an interception, the White House Situation Room, and the President himself.

The lack of professionalism in almost every area was what struck me most. People strolling rather than sprinting when they know time is of the essence; the time wasted on personal matters when training should've kicked in to make them focus on the actions that might actually help, etc. I imagine I would've been yelling at the screen if I had been engaged at all.
