  1. RE: mstdn.social/@ObsidianUrbex/11

    If a #movie is based on a character having a golden coccyx on the back of his head, it’s a sign the filmmakers have an ass instead of a head.

    From The Dark Knight to Interstellar #Nolan made cinema breathe. The Odyssey trailer proved the opposite: when a director bows to Shakespeare and his long-dead buddies, he enters the realm of dead #art. No return from that shore.

    Ideas are finished. Only pomp remains.

    Do you still believe Elon Nolan will surprise us? This is not a rhetorical question.

  2. I can't say #TheCriticalDrinker is right or wrong until the movie comes out...

    ..but it has some good points.

    It looks like this is a movie speared by Hollywood rather than Nolan itself. Who knows if it's a favor for someone at this point.

  7. Last night, I finished reading *The Odyssey* …

    and though I haven’t read other versions for comparison, Emily Wilson’s translation is *spectacular*. This is the one to get. The language is contemporary, clear, and brilliant.

    All the way through, I found myself thinking about everyone who will be seeing Christopher Nolan’s film this summer.

    Ancient as the story is, there is much that speaks directly to our time …

    [a spoiler alert is unnecessary, after nearly 3,000 years]

    it ends with Zeus hurling a thunderbolt, and the goddess Athena shouting “Stop this war!”

    Hard to miss the point, these days …

    The momentum of the final chapters was incredible.

    I found myself thinking … “you know, I really hope that Nolan took the time to sit down with Quentin Tarantino for at least a drink and a chat …”

    because there’s a climactic sequence that struck me as being pure Tarantino.

    Still, I can’t wait to see how Nolan pulls this off;

    I believe he will, and if he does, he has to be a shoo-in for Best Adapted Screenplay awards (among many others) –

    as it’s a Herculean task. (I’m mixing my mythos.)

    If you’ve put off reading Homer’s work because it’s a “classic,” or worried it would be dry or stuffy,

    I can’t recommend Wilson’s achievement highly enough. It will add so much to your eventual experience in the theater.

    I was *so* sorry when it ended, and there was no more to read … now I’m moving on to her translation of *The Iliad!*

    Que ela tinha ampla cultura grega, obviamente que sim. Mas sua aparência ainda é arqueologicamente discutida, embora as últimas notícias que vi traziam possíveis indícios dela ter traços fenotípicos que hoje associamos mais ao negros. Mas, nem mesmo o longo governo ptolomaico lá iria transformar as representações dos deuses egípcios.
    Tudo isso é bobagem? Se fosse, os youtubers não estariam enfurecidos com Helena negra. Apesar de esquecerem dos deuses egípcios embranquecidos.

  15. Então o novo rage bait é Helena negra. Sinceridade? Sim, eu acharia estranho assistir um filme com uma Helena negra. Da mesma forma q achei esquisitíssimo um filme sobre deuses egípcios com atores caucasianos (das centenas, apenas um foi representado por um ator negro; deve ter sido a cota racial...). Teve um grande barulho nas redes quando esse filme dos deuses egípcios foi lançado?
    Veja: toda vez q se discute sobre isso na região do Egito, se usa a cartada da presença grega no Egito, Cleópatra branca blablablá... Vamos lembrar que os deuses egípcios já tinham uma história de quase quatro mil anos d representação antes da Cleópatra nascer... Os gregos chegam no Egito massivamente ali por volta do século V. E nem isso garante q Cleópatra tivesse fenótipo grego. +++

    Ich kann mich wirklich vom Glück umspült sehen, dass solche Kulturkämpfe in meinem kleinen Leben nur im Presse-Spott darüber stattfinden. Meinen Dank dabei an Herrn Fischer, dass er das gleich sarkastisch abgefangen hat.

  22. I'm re-reading the #Odyssey just so I can yell at Christopher #Nolan in the #cinema this summer!

  23. The more I think about the overrated #Nolan & his obvious mistreatment of #TheOdyssey, the worse it gets. #Petersen 's #Troy was at least fun; unfortunately, I expect nothing but smug babbling like #Tenet, which, as I said, was completely unbearable! How bad can Odysseus look? Watch the #trailer...

  24. Wait, The Odyssey (the Christopher Nolan upcoming movie) uses fucking Viking Longships in Ancient Greece instead of Penteconts?

    Well. There's "artistic freedom" and there's "History class was hard, beside it's about a country I don't live in so fuck it".
