OPINION: ‘Oppenheimer’ retains fan faith in film director

OPINION: ‘Oppenheimer’ retains fan faith in film director By Emmanuel Reyes CoronaBridge Staff PodcasterPublished Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2023 “They won’t fear it until they understand it. And they won’t understand it until they’ve used it.” These words marked a turning point in World War II, a pivotal historical moment. They also resonated with my encounter with cinematic brilliance. As a devoted Christopher Nolan fan, I eagerly awaited the silver screen debut of Oppenheimer for years. Despite not having explored Nolan’s earlier masterpieces—Inception (2010), Interstellar (2014), Dunkirk (2017)—I was familiar with his style, work ethic and passion for cinema. The announcement of screenings gave me the chance to secure my ticket, and I eagerly anticipated my journey into the cinema. ...

OPINION: Fear will find you, so let it fuel you

OPINION: Fear will find you, so let it fuel you By David Gomez Jr.Editor-in-chiefPublished Friday, May 5, 2023 As I type away this opinion column between our staff’s managing editor and interns on the row of Macs in our office, I realize this is something I’ve always wanted. It’s a shame it comes at the end of my time at this university. The paragraph you just read was written two days ago. This opinion piece will be written with a new mindset and for the better—the theme is fear. David Gomez Jr. I must admit I am taking inspiration from Kendrick Lamar’s song “Fear” because it is a powerful song, and lately, that’s what I’ve been feeling while I type away on this laptop on my kitchen table. I fear earning my degree will be for nothing. I fear I gave up so much quality tim...

OPINION: TAMIU sucks, here is why

OPINION: TAMIU sucks, here is why By Mireilly GonzalezManaging EditorPublished on Friday, May 5, 2023 What is something that has defined your experience here at TAMIU and why? Now that my time is coming to an end, I have changed. I came here in 2019. In January 2020, my mental health, like everyone else’s, worsened as the coronavirus pandemic spread. Seeing the news from my dorm in an isolated campus, looking like a deserted town, was far from what other people’s first-year college experience was before. Mireilly Gonzalez I’ve been involved in several student organizations, among them SLIiC, the film club and then the Laredo Film Club TAMIU Chapter organization it became, and The Bridge. Being involved during the pandemic was strange, but it was my only sanity. For some, ...

SPORTS: Grand slam puts Dustdevils over Patriots

SPORTS: Grand slam puts Dustdevils over Patriots By Cesar OldhamBridge Staff InternPublished Wednesday, May 3, 2023 With a resounding grand slam to left-center field in the bottom of the seventh inning, TAMIU’s baseball team put the pressure on UT-Tyler during the March 5 high-scoring game. The Sunday afternoon Lone Star Conference outing at Jorge Haynes Field ended up in a 14-12 win for the Dustdevils. Texas A&M International University junior catcher Joseph “JoJo” Cruz’s more than 380-foot-deep home-run led to the grand slam, which added enough points to the scoreboard to prevent a UT-Tyler comeback. “It was a big inning for us,” coach Philip Middleton recalled, “and a lot of times when you get a big hit you don’t know when it’s going to happen and so you have to stay pat...
