@kleeposting Not sure if you knew this, but the entire movie is in English and not Homeric Greek

Immediately dismissed the entire movie once I heard Telemachus say "dad"

@thhouseofblack @Jinxx079 Hopefully you take a media literacy class alongside your masters
English
@Jinxx079 precisely! i plan on doing a masters in the classics soon, but i've read the sources and plenty of academic articles on the subject, so i find it really absurd that people are defending this. the gods are kind and rewarding to those who worship them well and such+

Odysseus is one of more pious heroes in Greek Mythology. He constantly sacrifices to the Gods and is the favourite of a Goddess. To warp Odysseus' story into this is ridiculous considering Odysseus wouldn't even have made it home without all the Goddesses helping him

Matt Damon as Odysseus in Christopher Nolan's ‘THE ODYSSEY’. “No one can stand between me and home - not even the Gods.”
English
@allowedtohit Nah, I think whatever trailer house Universal is using is not doing a good job with Nolan films. They should get the same guys WB used
English
@justinboldaji Kind of opinion of you’d have if all you’ve seen are Marvel movies
English
Imagine lugging an IMAX camera the size of a refrigerator around a scalding hot Greek desert for a couple years only for your shit to look like that one Marvel movie with Kumail Nanjiani

@blakethinks “I’ve never liked the work of this guy before, I’m stunned by how much I don’t like his new work”
English
I've never liked Nolan much, but I am rather stunned at just how unremittingly awful that Odyssey trailer is
English
@kickassvargas Huh? People from the culture depicted can enjoy a movie that is racist towards them. Temple of Doom is pretty fucking racist towards Indians but I (as an Indian) love it. Doesn’t mean Ill deny that its racist
English
I love when people call this movie racist when literally every Mexican I know fuckin loves it lol
from death to death transfigured@BODY_W0_WHORGAN
Insane for Mel Gibson to make like this INCREDIBLY racist movie for like 99% of it only to sort of pull the rug and be like 'yeah what comes immediately after this is so much fucking worse' with one shot

@HeylKatme @StolenDans Sneider is an total asshole but he’s been right many times. I think people only doubt this because of the yaoi fanfic they built in their heads

@WhiteQueenNV @Damac1214 I thought Anderson made 7 films. And sure let’s exclude the most recent one. That still brings the average up to around ~200 mil. It’s not an impressive number. It’s just profitable because these movies have low budgets
English
@LORDEMAXUS @Damac1214 No, six films. There's a reason 6/10 of the highest grossing zombie fims are RE films. R rated zombie films have always had a glass ceiling.
English
I like the implication that people think Cregger is “using” the Resident Evil name just to sell an original horror movie. Ignoring that Barbarian and Weapons are successes on their own, the average movie goer associates Resident Evil with the worst movies ever made.
English
@WhiteQueenNV @Damac1214 1.25 billion over 8 movies is an average of 156 mil per movie. Thats not remotely impressive
English
@Damac1214 I think you might be missing the point a tiny bit. People do associate Resident Evil with the 1.25 billion dollar film franchise. That's the entire reason Sony is making this movie. They're trying to squeeze more blood from the stone.
Nothing wrong with that. But this film...
English
Considering how limited his imagination was in a film like WEAPONS… I just don’t know man. He does not have it.

Zach Cregger says his RESIDENT EVIL is light on zombies, heavy on T-Virus mutants. He tells @IGN, "This movie doesn’t utilize zombies that much. It’s much more focused on the weird creature stuff than the zombies." "You have this opportunity for the T-Virus to do all these really fascinating things to the human body, and to the world around you, and so to just limit it to zombies feels like a squandered opportunity," Cregger explains. "So I tried to really vary it up."

@jonathanmb32 Eh, Dune could’ve moved there too if WB didn’t go all in on those 8 month early IMAX presale drop

@DawsonEJoyce Replace Sony with Constantin and they are probably right.

"Sony definitely didn’t want to hand over the movie rights back to capcom"
james.@JamesResEvil
Sony definitely didn’t want to hand over the movie rights back to capcom. This is just a horror movie with resident evil slapped onto it. And i will call out its bullshit.

@eventualforever will gluck the most reliable 7/10 movie director i’m hyped

@poeticdweller I think this girl means well but all her attempts at dunking on right wingers are so superficial and incoherent

We are continually plagued by a lack of filmmakers who are willing to transform their anxities into transgressive nightmares and instead soley seek to affirm the viewers consience.

Curry Barker (Obsession) previews his upcoming TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE movie for A24: "I really think that the potential for that series has not been fully realized. I actually feel like a lot of the remakes went the opposite direction than it should have gone." “I’m really excited to do a Texas Chainsaw Massacre that’s not just about a guy chasing some people around with a chainsaw; that has some heart to it. You care about these characters and want to see them survive, and it’s brutal.”

@TAGintheGame @AKlay19 It’s the score for the 1996 film starring John Travolta as an angel.

@testpatterns_ @chrissky_ It’s pretty easy to see how a guy who has been deeply insecure and angry his whole life and has turned crazy from old age made Mishima tbh

@Liam_The_Nerd I enjoyed this show, but Jake Schreier is not a good director and is too obsessed with shooting “oner”s to make up for it

Don’t think i’ve talked about how much I hated watching this
