@rustyrockets My thoughts are more about how Musk convinced his cult following to dump their money into his unprofitable space company so that he could pay someone else to make a film in his personal taste because he didn’t like Nolan’s adaption. Yea, thats sane behavior.

What were your thoughts on The Odyssey?

@MattWalshShow I know we live in a capitalistic society but damn isn’t there a better way to make some money instead of relying on manufacturing a culture war that relies on hate to sell clothing?

The Odyssey Was EVEN WORSE Than I Expected. Here’s Everything Wrong With It.

@bennyjohnson Only a werido would spend hours making a 2 minute and 40 second video straining to make it seem like Trump was actually embraced by these players.🤣

Did you catch this moment at the World Cup last night? As President Trump was awarding Spain their trophy, players started hitting the ‘Trump dance’ and invited him to celebrate with them. The team wanted him to be part of their victory picture while the FIFA president tried to drag him away. Despite Trump’s differences with Spain’s leaders, the players loved him. This has been the theme of the entire World Cup: Europeans came here expecting to hate America but now they love it so much they don’t want to leave 🇺🇸

@Oilfield_Rando The modern pieces recontextualize the story into a modern framework. The golden rule being a universal hope for humanity that is tragically abandoned civilization after civilization. These lessons are meant for today’s world just as much as they were in Ancient Greece.

@Oilfield_Rando Because they are great fucking actors and crush their scenes, that’s why. Elliot was cast perfectly as Sinon because his strength lies in his intelligence, not brute physical prowess, his monologue is baller. Lupita isn’t in it long but her lines are delivered so piercingly.

Which raises the question: Why do it all? Why even inject the subversion? Is it just subversion for subversion’s sake?

@liam_out_loud @holland_tom The flaw in your argument is that you attach your criticisms of casting directly to these parameters set by the Oscar’s. You have assumed they have been hired for political motivations. This is a stacked cast of amazing actors. To bypass that obvious reflection reveals your bias

Tom, I've read your work and have enjoyed it. I'm also a longtime admirer of Nolan's films. That said, I've expressed disappointment with some of the creative decisions surrounding The Odyssey, particularly aspects of the casting and dialogue. I think there's a more balanced position here. If this film turns out to be as good as you believe it is, it will be despite those decisions, not because of them. Nolan may very well have made a great film. I genuinely hope he has. I'll be seeing it with an open mind and will judge it on its own merits. Where I think your argument falls short is in dismissing those who recognize that many of these choices are better understood as political decisions shaped by contemporary ideological pressures rather than purely artistic ones. For years, governments, NGOs, universities, and major corporations have openly pursued policies aimed at redistributing what they describe as cultural representation and equity. Whether one supports those goals or not, this isn't a conspiracy theory. It's articulated plainly in their own standards, diversity frameworks, and institutional policies. What many people find frustrating is not simply that these priorities exist, but that their influence is so often denied. That persistent insistence that obvious political considerations are merely organic artistic choices feels like gaslighting. What critics say also carries far less weight than it once did. They overwhelmingly praised Star Wars: The Last Jedi, while audience reaction was deeply divided. Time and again, audiences have been told a film is a masterpiece only to discover that it places ideological messaging ahead of compelling storytelling. Fair or not, that history has eroded trust. I'm approaching The Odyssey hoping it's every bit as good as you say it is. But I also think you should be more charitable toward people who have grown weary of seeing beloved stories repeatedly filtered through contemporary political priorities. Their skepticism was earned.

Wondering if those who have spent months lambasting a film they haven’t seen will now, confronted by 5 star reviews for The Odyssey, reconsider their boycott, or whether they will dismiss the positive reviews as evidence of a woke conspiracy to overthrow Western civilisation?

@C_3C_3 If you are bold enough to claim the future, you are dumb enough to think it belongs to you.

Christopher Nolan desecrated Homer’s Odyssey and deserves the absolute humiliating flop coming his way. Woke critics won’t be able to save it. Woke awards won’t be able to save it. The people will know. His movie will be a bad punchline for years. Let it be a lesson.

@TheBoodogan @bewilderedEric @The_Epic_Mike You just proved Eric’s point. Instead of naming someone worse, you went straight to the hate. Maybe pick up a book. I recommend Page’s own memoir “Pageboy”. Start learning about the Trans experience by reading about it instead of rejecting what you know nothing about.

Yeah none of that is true.

@The_Epic_Mike Your own comments prove you wrong. The harassment, the hate, it’s endless on this app.

@BreitbartNews @ThatChrisGore @Nerdrotics These comments below and their intense focus on Elliot Page and Lupita Lyong’o prove to me that this isn’t about hiring relevant actors for the roles, otherwise you would all be just as passionate about criticizing Damon, Hathaway and Holland as not being Greek.

**THE ODYSSEY SPOILER ALERT** Film critic @ThatChrisGore confirms to @Nerdrotics: Christopher Nolan altered the Underworld scene to replace the ghost of Achilles with Elliot Page's Sinon Sinon is not a character in Homer's The Odyssey

@JimHansonDC Rule #1: if you believe consensus = a massive group of people conspiring to make something appear better than it is for who knows what purpose, you are most definitely an idiot.

Rule #1 When the critics come out full force backing a movie It's woke and probably sucks

@mypalal It’s not Page’s fault that you have gone so far down the rabbit whole on anti trans propaganda that you’ve lost the ability to hear the experience and beliefs of anyone that disagrees with your world view. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Do you ever get the sense that if you screw around with your hormone levels, you lose the ability to speak plain English?

@Asmongold @KimKatieUSA @PressHerald First of all, ICE are not Police. Secondly, ICE often shows up in unmarked vehicles, in masks and each agent wearing different clothing. They roll up looking like a bunch of robbers who bought their gear off Amazon. Any person with instincts would flee a situation like that.

@KimKatieUSA @PressHerald You might wonder why left leaning creators never advise to comply with police and not resist arrest The answer is simple: they want ICE to kill more people They might pretend to be sad but they are actually happy because now they have another martyr for their narrative

🚨 Eyewitness says the driver was told multiple times to stop by ICE agents. He then put the car in drive and DROVE AT THE ICE OFFICER. There you have it, direct eyewitness confirms the suspect weaponized his vehicle. Source: @PressHerald

@bennyjohnson @DC_Reporter We’re already used to Trump running his mouth about shit he knows nothing about. Tell me something I don’t know.

HUGE: President Trump is allegedly planning to announce that both Senators from Georgia, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are ILLEGITIMATE due to election fraud, per sources from @DC_Reporter This could be massive.

@Republicans No they weren’t as is apparent today. At least they stepped in, y’all made your “grab em by the pu$$y” guy President.

The Democrat establishment was fully ready to make a rapist a United States Senator. They only took him out because he was going to lose.

@ScottJenningsKY Isn’t this what the Republican Party did with Trump? The only difference is you all decided to embrace him even though he has been accused by dozens of women, is caught on tape bragging about sexually assaulting women and was found liable by a jury for rape. 🙄

Let’s be completely honest about what happened here. Every single Democrat went out there and defended every other Graham Platner scandal until the wheels came off. They only cared about one thing: poll numbers. Now the numbers are bad, and they have no one to blame but themselves.

@TomiLahren Very interesting how your reaction to claims of sexual assault differs here compared to Trump’s. Platner’s a “trash pig” yet when Trump admitted on tape to sexually assaulting women you dismissed it as “locker room talk” and told critics to “shut the hell up”. Hypocrite

Welp, Maine Democrats Biden’d Platner. They knew he was a trash pig from day one, they just thought he could win. The party of “democracy” props up shit candidates then pulls the plug and reinstalls as necessary. Platner is trash. The Democrat Party is fraudulent.

@MeghanMcCain If Kamala's election results are anything to go by, the sitting Vice President to an extremely unpopular President might just weigh against him

The 2028 Democrats convention is going to be an absolute side show freak display - like the bar scene in Star Wars on acid. Congratulations to future President Vance.

@IngrahamAngle You are an elite.

Ignoring public opinion, the elites insisted upon mass immigration from Third World countries, promising “cultural diversity” and an immigrant “work ethic.” A predictable nightmare ensued.

@IngrahamAngle Not a single scandal during Obama's two administrations. Meanwhile, Trump was revealed to have cheated on all his wives, brag on tape about sexually assaulting women, commit fraud and more. Trump winning an election says more about the people that voted for him.

She seems to have forgotten that after 8 years of Obama, the country was so fed up, it elected Donald J. Trump.
