  3. Just watched The Return (2024 film) (It's on Kanopy) (Ralph Fiennes literally chewing the scenery--but some damn good acting overall) I look forward to more films from the Homer Universe

  4. The #Odyssey Film Review: An Uncomplicated Man by Emily Wilson

    “Christopher Nolan, who studied English at University College London – where students still study The Odyssey as a first year ‘foundational text’ – is doing his best to get the general public reading again, and I am grateful.

    But…”

  7. “…when Emily Wilson published her translation of The #Odyssey in 2017, she was subject to what she has described as "misogynist trolling" for her modern wording, among other things.

    “I find it quite baffling.

    It's people who don't care about the poem, yet when it comes to this culture-war internet discourse, they perform anger about it and a protectiveness of it…”

  9. Did you see the #Odyssey?

    The scene where the Laestrygonians decimate the crew (3,000 yo spoiler) uses forced perspective to make "giants" (like how they made "hobbits" in #LotR)

    2.1 m/ 7 foot men in the background, a 1.4 m/ 4 foot 6 inch woman in the foreground, a small aperture, et voila: giants

    "Woman? You mean #MattDamon"

    No

    That's #DevynDalton, a Canadian stuntwoman, on the #movie's poster. Damon called her biceps "the greatest arms I have ever seen":

  19. "The sudden tumult stirred him where he lay,
    And down he hasten’d, but forgot the way;
    Full headlong from the roof the sleeper fell,
    And snapp’d the spinal joint, and waked in hell. "
    --- Alexander Pope. Book X, The Odyssey

  22. Joyce Carol Oates slams Emily Wilson over viral ‘Odyssey’ takedown

    Days after a classicist who translated Homer’s “The Odyssey” in 2017 eviscerated the Christopher Nolan film based on…

  23. After watching the Odyssey I thought about all the characters and after going through every character it was Sinon that carried most of the weight in setting the tone and the weight despite only appearing in a few shots.

    Elliot Page's excellent scene with the dead couldn't be better in any way.

  27. Just saw The Odyssey in the theater. It was a really good movie. As someone who usually doesn’t like Christopher Nolan, I think this was the perfect tale for him to tackle: everyone already knows the story & characters, so it’s fine if the movie is just vibes & visuals. #odyssey

  29. For those of you who have never read Homer’s The #Odyssey - and those who never want to - but your friends are dragging you to see the three-hour Nolan film:

  31. Are the #Iliad, the #Odyssey, and #Odysseus

    simply great #literature

    or do they compress functional #pattern s of complex adaptive systems that help explain their persistence across millennia?

    That is the testable hypothesis explored in my new paper.

  32. #Moth #Moths #Iowa

    I’m going to jump on the #Odyssey bandwagon (even though I might never see the movie…)

    This handsome moth is called “Antheraea polyphemus” and is named for Polyphemus, the Cyclops from Homer’s Odyssey. It’s all about the eyes!

    (My son took the photo yesterday outside of his workplace in central Iowa.)
