I love baseball, books, flicks and cats. I practically live at the movie theater.

Hey man can we get an update
Mid Thirties Manhattan Guy@Mid30sManhattan
Are we in a Twitter bubble or does The Odyssey actually have potential to bomb harder than Joker 2?

I just got home from watching The Odyssey.
A year ago, my one worry about Nolan’s adaptation was that “defy the gods” marketing tagline. Homer’s poem was not about defiance. It’s about a man who breaks a sacred law and spends the rest of his life answering for it. If the film didn’t capture that, I’d say so.
I’m thrilled to report that Nolan understood the assignment. This is fundamentally a film in which men are answerable to an order they did not author and cannot escape, and violating it costs them everything. Few modern films carry that kind of metaphysical weight anymore, and it was a genuine pleasure to see those values dramatized on screen.
The scale invites comparisons with Lean’s masterpieces, and the performances from Damon, Hathaway, Pattinson, and Leguizamo are superb. A few choices in the sound mix and photography occasionally threw me off, but never enough to sink the experience.
In short, this is a magnificent epic that respects Homer’s moral universe. It’s a film any conservative serious about cultural inheritance ought to appreciate. Those who spent months denouncing it as “woke” were reviewing the tweets they read, not the actual film, and they’ve told you precisely how much to trust them on everything else.

Tonight, the epic arrives. Experience Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey in theaters. Get tickets now.

@cinemattie Maybe it depends on where you live but I encounter clapping all the time. I literally just left The Odyssey and a lot of people clapped.
English
Who claps at the end of a movie unless it's some kind of festival screening with the filmmakers in attendance?

Cameron is the biggest waste of talent in the history of movies haha three (max) stone cold classics but everything else is meh. Denis has dropped seven classics using different genres in the past 13 years which is insane. I won’t even dive into the great directors of the past.
Casey Tebo@caseyshoots
Guys. Chris Nolan might be the only other major director other than James Cameron, who has not made a bad movie.

It’s almost like there have been a billion visions of The Odyssey before

The Odyssey isn't historically accurate because it's not historical. It's a work of fiction. I don't understand how people can't grasp this very simple idea.

Not the mention we got Fincher directing a Tarantino script and the Academy owes Fincher. Dude directed two of the, at minimum, top-10 movies of the century with zero big-time awards?
English
I’m hyped for this but declaring this best picture before Dune Messiah drops is kinda crazy in my opinion. Even if it’s better (which I doubt because Denis>Nolan) I would be shocked if they go back-to-back with Nolan flicks.

Just watched the Odyssey in IMAX 70mm. My 3 takeaways: 1. Indisputably the most epic and visually striking film I've ever seen. It'll certainly win Best Picture. 2. What surprised me most: it refuses to Hollywood-ize the myth the way Troy (2004) did. The Odyssey is not a story like any other : it's how Greek society saw the world 3,000 years ago: the omnipresence of the sea, the traditions, the place of the gods. Nolan's film keeps all of it. 3. Only caveat: the pacing. The story's so dense it races through some episodes to stay under 3 hours. Some parts could've been cut to let others breathe. The Laestrygonians, for instance, land as just another epic scene if you don't know they're Poseidon's sons. The Odyssey avoids the trap Troy fell into 20 years ago, and stays epic doing it.

This is really incredible. Docs released by Trump tonight confirm RUSSIA tried to spread claims Biden was engaged in criminal activity vis-a-vis Burisma and that it advanced those narratives "with US officials" and planed a "high-profile corruption scandal... at the peak of the 2020 US presidential campaign."

Tonight I heard a failed and desperate president who as war spirals and prices rise is as always focused on his grievances, his shame, and above all his fear of the accountability that will come with defeat.
I also heard a president signaling his unmistakable intent to attack these elections and our voting rights, just as he tried to throw out our votes and seize the presidency in 2020.
Our answer will be overwhelming.
Across Georgia a wave of defiance is building to rebuke him so decisively that no president ever again dares such brazen corruption and abuse.
The power of the presidency is nothing compared to the power of the people.

The only election I don’t trust is the last one with the lifetime loser that nobody loves Elon spending a ton of money.

President Trump announced that his administration is declassifying intelligence that reveals "shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure," including "hacking, exploitation and foreign interference." FACT CHECK RATING: False. Officials have repeatedly said election infrastructure remains secure. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said there was “no evidence of any malicious activity” affecting the integrity of the 2024 elections. CISA also said the 2020 election was “the most secure in American history,” with no evidence that voting systems deleted, lost or compromised votes.

People replying to this, like, “Come on Tom Cruise, stop trying to enter the culture war to look good.”
Folks, he’s in a scandal-plagued religion, has more money than god, and can star in any movie he wants. For better or worse, I don’t think he gives a shit about culture wars.
Tom Cruise@TomCruise
Wow! To Chris, Emma, and ALL of your brilliant cast and crew. Thank you for an amazing night in a movie theater. I can’t wait to see it again!

All I see on Twitter is people hating on this movie. Considering Elon had been shitting on casting I assume he fucked with the algo to pump the hate up.

Every single review I’m seeing on 𝕏 is wildly negative… so what’s going on here?

The fact that the dude even had a girlfriend is astounding. This obviously wasn’t the first time he said something like this.
