The goal of the far right is to drive anyone who isn't like them out of social media. I understand boycotting Twitter or FB if you feel it's the right thing to do. But I am not going to have what little voice I have in the public sphere removed on the say-so of a bunch of Nazis.

No one will like it. Okay. Critics like it, but the audience score will be dismal. Okay. The audience score is high, but it will fall at the box office. Okay. The box office is high, but that’s because the masses are a bunch of brainwashed idiots who aren’t super intelligent like me.

@ZherkaOfficial Shove your 'she' and 'her' up your fucking arse. You know what you're doing and you deserve no respect.

You’re convinced Ellen Page will ruin the movie for you, but she’s actually not that bad. She doesn’t play a major role, and the character she plays even makes sense within the story. Tom Holland, on the other hand, is the one who completely ruins the movie. It’s genuinely surprising how miscast he feels here, because nothing in his previous performances suggested he would be this distracting and cringe.

@ValentinusSecun @Smeggman32 @normposter 'This person'? Who? The cat's mother?

@Smeggman32 @DanielNothing @normposter Culture has always been a war wtf is this person even saying

"There were only a couple of small turds in the entire pudding. What's with all the hate?"

@Smeggman32 @normposter See? Not happy.

@DanielNothing @normposter Shut up, ya dumb bitch.

@Tiger_Rider_ Disaster = I personally didn't like it.

The Odyssey disaster has started a wave of Nolan revisionism that I don't quite subscribe to. I think his filmography is broadly solid. He elevated the popcorn blockbuster to at least middlebrow levels and he deserves credit for that

@AnthonyCumia Don't you have a child bride to rape or something?

If your food touches dog shit for only 3 seconds, are you still gonna eat it?

@venom1s This could just have been the phrase "I haven't seen The Drama"

What does Zendaya have on Hollywood filmmakers that they keep casting her in almost every major upcoming movie? She plays the same character every time. And no hate to her, but her acting range is limited. Despite years in the industry, can anyone name even one scene from any of her movies where she delivered a truly outstanding performance? So why do they keep choosing her over other talented actresses?

@Interzone418 @Gnosisinformant Please stop crying. It's embarrassing.

@DanielNothing @Gnosisinformant You know, the deranged surgical experiment playing Sinon

Wait.. so there is not "Achilles in Hades" AT ALL in Nolan's adaption? No Achilles? Elliot Page plays Sinon? I mean, I get that Achilles is not a major character in the Odyssey. But that scene in Hades is pretty important in my opinion. Why did everyone think this was Achilles then? I guess I have to wait til I see the movie on wednesday.

@venom1s "Lupita? Hi this is your agent. I've just read a very sobering message from some internet rando, and well...just listen to what he said. We should both be ashamed of ourselves, basically. I'm quitting the industry for homelessness, I suggest you do the same"

"The face that launched a thousand ships." People are saying, "Don't blame Lupita Nyong'o. The casting decision wasn't hers." But she chose to accept the role, right? Imagine if a white actor decided to play Michael Jackson, Barack Obama, or T'Challa. They're saying The Odyssey is fiction. So, Black Panther is a comic book. Can a white person play Black Panther? Helen is one of the most important characters in The Odyssey. Her beauty plays a huge role in the story. She was Greek. Casting a Black actress ruins everything. She's a good actress, and people may find her beautiful. But that's not what Helen of Troy was like. Woke Hollywood is destroying thousand-year-old history.

@Interzone418 @Gnosisinformant Who's 'she', cunt?

@Gnosisinformant He meets Sinon in Hades instead, the theory is that originally she was playing Achilles but they changed the name in post.

*It's clear* is it? The Film Understander logs on.

@13thschizoidman @PlatinumEquinox Holy fucking shit give it up. "I got angry about something that didn't happen, but instead of going 'Gee, I was wrong about that, oops!', I'm just going to pretend I was right and that the most successful film maker alive had to change something because I scared him so much"

@PlatinumEquinox By the look of it. No. Its clear Page was supposed to be. Edited out in reshoots. Billed as best warrior. Appears as a ghost. Its achillies by another name.

So literally nobody has been able to answer who is really playing Achilles in The Odyssey even now????? Is Achilles even in this film?

@BortonDoug I'd certainly be into seeing it. What I don't get about the hatred for Nolan's movie is how much power the haters are giving it. "I was looking forward to seeing ONE film for the rest of my life,but now it isn't exactly what I just looked up on Wikipedia 5 minutes ago, I'm angry"

@DanielNothing I mean, I can't lie. The proposed alternative version sounds pretty damn cool.

"They should have done what Mel Gibson did with Apocalypto, cast it with indigenous unknowns in Ancient Greek and made it brutal as fuck!" Yes. Please do this. The existence of one film from a public domain text in no way stops you from making the version you've just described.

@KineticSKATE Mate, it's your movie, do what you like.

@DanielNothing In the end can there be a bunch of German U-Boats pulling up to the shore? We need to maintain the Mel Gibson standard of historical accuracy.

@DonaldDucktat0r @BWLH_

@DanielNothing @BWLH_

It’s bad. Real bad. I was the only person laughing every time Ellen Page showed up on screen. Achilles conversation with Odysseus is one of the most important scenes in all of our literature. In our mythology. In our theology. It’s an abomination.

@bendreyfuss Does he, at any point, say "Maaaatt... DAAAAMoooon..."

Whoa can’t believe THE ODYSSEY begins with Matt Damon looking directly into the camera and apologizing for being white.

@SnowmanMcK Don't apologise for enthusiasm and insight :-)

@DanielNothing sorry to go on, i just watched it so it's all very clear in my head.

@bernardtjoy Are you still sad you can't watch the popular movie that everyone likes? Jesus Christ, what a fucking wimp.

Isn’t it wonderfully convenient when people find cinematic masterpieces that bring them intense viewing pleasure and somehow the filmmaker happens to share their political opinions on every major issue.

@dissidentwest You are shit from an arse.
