@eric_nail @kangminlee Yea, the casting may have been “woke” but the movie itself is not. In 20 years newer generations watching probably won’t know elliot use be ellen and will only judge the performance on screen.

@kangminlee I’m legitimately confused. The movie really wasnt woke at all, in fact, it had a great thought provoking take on breaking societal standards for the sake of winning with Troy and the Trojan horse. I thought it was great other than casting page.

The success of The Odyssey will be Hollywood’s green light to go full throttle on wokeness Woke isn’t over. The right just enjoyed a brief taste of minor victories the past few years, then proceeded to devour itself with Egyptian plane conspiracies and pure retardation

@LemmeReact @clayclay1234566 Peak Incel-Maxxing.

@clayclay1234566 My video got 3 mil views on Instagram making fun of it so lmao

I had a feeling The Odyssey was going to be bad… But I didn’t think it was gonna be THIS bad 💀 Christopher Nolan just RUINED what would’ve been a great story to tell with modern day technology and cinematography. Lame.

@kfeb45 @YahooSports The incident happened in Canada. So you sound dumb AF.

@Heffer @YahooSports Well we ain't Australian so in the US it would be similar to being called an "animal"🤷🏽‍♀️ and anybody in "these here" United States in these comments acting brand new can STOP IT acting like they don't know🤨 Now, whether or not this coach had Australian intentions or US intent IDK

Toronto Tempo head coach Sandy Brondello has been suspended without pay for one game for an inappropriate comment she made regarding Angel Reese, the league announced. Brondello made the comment during Friday's game against Atlanta, yelling at the referees, "Angel, she's a protected species," for which she later apologized.

@Yomama010621 @YahooSports Technically, the incident happened in Canada.

@Heffer @YahooSports She’s not in Australia. When in America do as the RIGHT Americans do?!

@AftermathThrash @AnotherSapien I never read the Harry Potter books, only watched the movies—guess my view is warped.

All the supporters of the movie are completely indoctrinated to support it. Anyone that knows the Greek version completely disagrees with you. It’s not about casting a black woman as Helen. That’s your simple view to justify your narrative. It’s the diminishing of Greek culture ( not a single Greek actor in the entire prosecution). It’s about Nolan turning Odysseus into victim of PTSD when he was full of hubris according to Homer. That change altered the entire movie. The problem begins with the version Nolan based his movie on. It’s that he introduces a character from the Aeneid so he could cast Page to play him. It’s that so many that watch the movie and never read the material will now have a warped view of the material.

Every criticism of The Odyssey has come from people who: 1. Can't accept a black actor playing a fictional woman (who was hatched from an egg). So, racists Or 2. Got their knowledge of ancient Greece from 300 & Brad Pitt's Troy Critics/historians/normal folk seem to love it

@JoeWallace5150 @hackedbracket @timkawakami Fair enough, some people simply don’t like certain directors. Just never thought Nolan was as polarizing like Tarantino.

@hackedbracket @timkawakami I’ve never liked Nolan films going back to the 2000s before I’d even heard of Elon. Nolan is an awful director. I’m sorry you’re hurting inside.

Oops weekend for the Elon Boys who swore this film wouldn’t do well.

@Aarow_16 @mackaybell Also the run time too. It’s why movies nearly 3 hours long like titanic, avatar and potentially Odyssey have smaller opening weekends, but longer legs.

@mackaybell The odyssey being rated R is a pretty big factor and the fact you don’t mention that shows how disingenuous you are being.

Nolan Bros: The Odyssey is a massive hit! Look at the opening weekend numbers! Others: Superman had a better opening last year around the same time. Nolan Bros: Superhero movies don't count! They always have big audiences! Other: Superman crapped out at 625M. A hugely disappointing number. So you're saying The Odyssey will do worse?

@JeffDLowe @BillHuntBits lmao

@BillHuntBits I will say, the Irvine Spectrum IMAX breaks like it’s the main feature.

The scary thing here is that IMAX can't build any more new projectors. (They apparently don't have a complete set of the engineering blueprints, most of the engineers who designed them have retired or passed away, and the parts supply chains have long since dried up.) So the goal for the foreseeable future is to upgrade and keep all the existing projectors running for as long as they can.

@WillLewis_1976 @MySportsUpdate @AndrewMarchand Nah, Screamin A Smith is GOAT’d

@MySportsUpdate @AndrewMarchand Wow, dude wins an award, gets a new contract, and then soon gets laid off. Please do Stephen A. That's who most people really want gone.

ESPN has parted ways with Ryan Clark in what is the first of several layoffs expected to occur this week, per @AndrewMarchand. nytimes.com/athletic/74595…

@angelnezzz @RMBee Will be interesting, I heard they cant make 70mm imax projectors anymore. Last one was built 50 years. nofilmschool.com/imax-70mm-proj…

@RMBee Someone is gonna have to step up and invest more on imax tech because that format is making millions and no one from the company seems interested in developing more projectors or theatres to accommodate 70mm imax projection

The 70mm IMAX, running 24/7 at the Irvine Spectrum for THE ODYSSEY, overheated today!

@tootmcboots @SirBylHolte Dude’s incel-maxxing is on another level, man is ready to die on this tiny “Odyssey is a flop” hill.

@SirBylHolte you can just stop moving the goal posts man and move on to the next thing, i bet there will be a chinese dude playing a ghost buster or something else for online mouth breathers to get mad at. it's the 2nd best global opening for a rated R movie. move on to the next complaint

Fun fact: “The Odyssey” UNDERPERFORMED internationally too! $139.6 million from 73 international markets is absolutely DISASTROUS relative to the expectations, budget, and Nolan brand. And even moreso when you consider Nolan's home territory, UK/Ireland, delivered only a measley $17.4M! Other markets: 🇫🇷 France — $13.7M 🇮🇹 Italy — $11.5M 🇦🇺 Australia — $9.2M 🇩🇪 Germany — $8.0M 🇮🇳 India — $7.2M 🇲🇽 Mexico — $7.0M 🇪🇸 Spain — $5.2M 🇧🇷 Brazil — $4.7M 🇦🇪 UAE — $3.0M And the remaining 63 smaller markets combined contributed about $52.7M - less than $1 million per territory. For a $400M investment and a Nolan-level event film, these numbers should be much higher. Don't believe the hype.

@AstroEdBaldwin @Thatfranticpar1 @RpsAgainstTrump Deng Xiaopeng!

@Thatfranticpar1 @RpsAgainstTrump He really didn’t though. He forced China into a regression and when he died, his successors took years to put China back on track

Hasan Piker: “I never would and never will criticize Mao Zedong. He is one of the great leaders of this world.” (Mao Zedong was responsible for the deaths of at least 40 million people.)

@GPrime85 Strong disagree anyone who bought tickets are the most credible to complain about Odyssey. They a literally the customer. People who watched it free (ie press) or who have rage bait X and YT accounts who didn’t watch are the least credible due to conflict of interest.

I say this with sadness, not anger: If you bought a ticket for the Odyssey this weekend, you have surrendered the right to complain about Hollywood ruining movies. Your words & actions are not in alignment. You cannot lead others, because you can’t even follow yourself.

@M_C_Klein @conorsen What do you mean you don’t want Row A, Seat 1? 😏

@conorsen in SF we have one of those 41 theaters and it is effectively sold out for every single showing over the next month :(

You can watch the Odyssey in IMAX 70MM at the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga but nowhere in the states of Massachusetts, Washington, or Oregon.

@PieterSta @RealSkipBayless Nah, even the former pros on TV said it was an embarrassing performance by Argentina. It was anti-climactic. It’s okay to admit what a stinker it was. Happens in all sports.

@RealSkipBayless That was an epic final. Shows you don’t really understand soccer.

I was so excited for yesterday's World Cup final - which left me flat. 1 goal in 120 minutes. Spain won with suffocating defense that rendered the GOAT just another player. More stars in the stands than on the pitch. Soccer turned back into what it mostly always has been - boring

@US_bandit732 @dasbutzemann @Polymarket Crazy, right? How is this not common knowledge like Jews and Sabbath.

@dasbutzemann @Polymarket Never knew that 🫡

JUST IN: Germany considers legalizing Sunday shopping, as its stagnant economy searches for ways to boost growth.

Lamine eating pizza after his victory 😂 Can't forget he's still a teenager 🍕

@Anthony18598418 @EmmanuelAcho @speakeasytlkshw True. Its not like american sports getting drafted to a garbage team.

@EmmanuelAcho @speakeasytlkshw He was on a winning team. What did he do individually? Here we are again with horrible takes. He was just there for the ride.

Lamine Yamal wipes the floor with any American teenager in the history of (the four major) American sports. Arguably the most accomplished teenage athlete ever. 🎥: @speakeasytlkshw

@BrianOsbourne83 @hovah76 Nah, viewership is Caitlin, then Paige, then everyone else. There is no 3-way tie. Aja is not even the most popular black player in the league. Aliyah Boston got more All-Star votes. Aja didn’t even get a million votes as the reigning MVP at the peak of her team’s dynasty.

@hovah76 Best player in the league, no doubt. The viewership is a 3-way tie between her, Paige and Clark. All fun players to watch.

I don’t want to be negative, so rather than discussing first half stats, I am just going to post the face of the WNBA, and the soon to be 5x league MVP.

@ThunderHusky17 @ShamsCharania @SethBatten25 Nah, he’s just rotating the support so he doesn’t have to pay them. Presti, already put his money on a core of SGA, JDub, Chet, Hart and Caruso. Probably add Ajay Mitchell in there too.

@ShamsCharania @SethBatten25 Presti has gotten fleeced all summer. The Thunder are SIGNIFICANTLY worse now.

BREAKING: The Oklahoma City Thunder trading All-Defensive wing Lu Dort to the Atlanta Hawks in a three-team deal that sends three second-round picks to OKC, former No. 1 pick Zaccharie Risacher to the Dallas Mavericks and Ryan Nembhard to Atlanta, sources tell ESPN.
