  4. me: I know doing an #asterism on the #odyssey would be very on brand for the #podcast...

    BoP: Yeah

    me: but i just don't want to go to a 3 hour movie..

  6. On the fantastic @standardebooks website – which takes public domain books from Project Gutenberg and reformats them from pretty bad files actually (sorry, Gutenberg, I love you, but you know it's true) into fantastic high quality ebooks – The Condition of the Working Class in England by Friedrich Engels is a more popular download than Dracula and Moby Dick!

    Also, the ongoing The Odyssey fever has not skyrocket the book to the top

  8. I can't believe the classics department died for this.

    Our entire western civilization is only three budget cuts away from rediscovering etymology.

    Got a ticket to see #Odyssey in #IMAX in a couple of wks but thinking about switching to a #Dolby tix instead.

  12. Kävinpä minäkin katsomassa The Odysseyn 🎬

    Oli kyllä 5/5 elokuvakokemus. Nolanin tulkinta oli varsin uskollinen alkuperäiselle tarinalle mutta toi siihen myös sopivasti omaa sormenjälkeä, ml. koskettavan ja valitettavan ajankohtaisen teeman Troijan sodasta.

    Leffan inspiroimana aloin myös paikata aukkoa yleissivistyksessä ja lukea Odysseiaa. Valitsin Pentti Saarikosken suomennoksen 70-luvulta, koska se oli helposti saatavilla ja homeerinen kreikka ei ainakaan vielä ole minulla hallussa 😁

  14. I feel like I should somehow capitalise on all the buzz around what looks like a gods-awful adaptation of the Odyssey. But how? Anything sexy or kinky you've always thought Homer should have explored more?

  16. This excerpt from The Odyssey, sung in Homeric Greek, is even better!

    It must have been so good! Bring back bardic story singing!

  18. The Odyssey by Nolan insufficiently accurate for you?

    Here’s a dude singing it in Homeric[*] Greek with lyre and tambourine accompaniment!

    What the Internet is for!!!

  20. I don't recommend you try to read The Odyssey along with the movie. It's too dark in the theater and people will get mad at you if you turn on a book light, even on the lowest setting. #odyssey #movies

  22. So we just got in from seeing the #Odyssey and it was very good. It a was very Nolan #movie (iykyk), and the audio was quite awful (I blame my local #cinema but let me know if you have similar issues) -- the highs were *VERY* loud to the point of pain, and the lows were not that present.
    Acting? Very good. Oppenheimer was better.
    Cinematography? Top notch.
    Story? Decently told, out of order, of course.
    Overall? Recommend, but does not need #IMAX. Perfectly good in AVX visually.
    Dune is better.

  24. The lost Homerics
    newcriterion.com/article/the-l

    "[T]raceable to the end of the sixth century B.C., and in some cases earlier, are six epics that complemented the Iliad and Odyssey to tell the whole story of the Trojan War as we know it. These are the Cypria, whose text started the tale that leads to the Iliad; the Aethiopis, which began with the funeral of Hector that ends the Iliad;"

  28. #odyssey 4.5/5

    The soundtrack is a masterpiece. So well balanced. Always there but almost never in the center of attention.

    The IMAX sound mix for the cave scene almost destroyed my ears though.
