Anyone who uses "begs the question" like this should be decimated.

These are facts about The Odyssey. Which begs the question: Why were the actors so prominent in the advertising for this film?
English
@faceuh8 Ironically, this movie is primarily meant to be a study of obsession.

@chapel3929 @metaplexmovies IMAX is maxed out at a 3:00 runtime. This barely comes in under. Assume that’s the point he’s making about an IMAX limitation. Without that hard three-hour stop, they may have paced differently.
English
@metaplexmovies 100% the biggest thing wrong with it, but I don't blame IMAX
As far back as BATMAN BEGINS, some of his movies feel like they're on fast forward
Not enough to sink it, but it robs a lot of power and momentum

I loved the movie, but THE ODYSSEY is Nolan's first in ages that felt compromised due to the limits of IMAX –– I wanted a more patient build to Hades, a bigger sequence around Scylla, with dozens of shots I wish ran longer. it's what's stopping it from being one of his very best
English
@anangbhai Apparently I've been living under a rock because I had no idea he was an academy-nominated actor but I believe it because this scene alone was incredible!
English
Reactionary chuds: Uwe Boll is a cinematic genius for killing muslims but you're an NPC if you clap for Oscar nominated Elliot Page in a three hour long epic.
Sawyer Loves Movies 🍿🎥@sawyeurism
And while we are on the subject of phenomenal actors—Elliot Page was on screen for all of 5 minutes and delivered this bone-chilling sequence in Hell that will stay with me forever.

@Dudddeeer @matthewdmarsden Travis Scott’s playing a Roman Storyteller? Is this true???

Imagine how massive the Odyssey would have been if it didn’t have woke casting, shitty dialogue and a decent marketing campaign?
English
@janthonylong @toucheclancey @charlescwcooke So it’s your opinion that, despite commenting on it for multiple podcasts, he actually, secretly doesn’t want people to know what he thinks?
English
@TheRightDuff @toucheclancey @charlescwcooke Can we cut the crap? Cooke makes a living commenting on politics. The fact that he didn't comment here on a completely batshit presidential speech would not have happened if the speech were given by Joe Biden or Kamala Harris or any Democrat.

Do you mean other than the detailed criticism of it that I made on The Editors podcast, and the long argument I had about it with the other hosts on the Ricochet Podcast—both published yesterday, and free to download everywhere?

@charlescwcooke Hey Charles, what did you think of Trump's speech? No comment?

@bendreyfuss I think in the earlier years of DHS some people still spelled it out like its predecessor, INS.

Was watching the awful 2009 film RIGHTEOUS KILL and there is a line where Detective Robert DeNiro says to some immigrant “you better tell me what I want to know or I’m going to call I C E” (eye cee ee) and I have no recollection of anyone saying it like that in real life.
English
@janthonylong @toucheclancey @charlescwcooke You’re in advertising. Do you think every marketing channel is equally suitable for every kind of media? Do you recommend brands run TikTok shorts as broadcast spots? Their direct mail pieces as Instagram posts? Or can some channels be better suited for different media/messages?
English
@toucheclancey @charlescwcooke He discusses quite a lot, including random takes about The Odyssey.

@TAmTrib “The cast was diverse to reflect inner-city gang rivalries which were making headlines at the time, and it was set in the heart of these troubles in Verona Beach.”
There were headlines about gang fighting centered in “Verona Beach”?
English
For all the people whining that critiques of Nolan's Odyssey are just chuds trying to stay mad about ancient texts being modernized...
Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet (1996) took a foundational text of Western society and updated it for modern audiences.
The cast was diverse to reflect inner-city gang rivalries which were making headlines at the time, and it was set in the heart of these troubles in Verona Beach.
Handguns were called "knives" and long guns called "swords". Everything was set against a totally contemporary backdrop. You'd think everyone would be up in arms and furious, right?
Wrong, it was generally well received by critics and home audiences. It earned $132.8 million in profits.
All because it kept the original spoken script of Shakespeare's play spoken by present-day people, and stayed true to the source material. It was an interesting take on a classic that had swag and didn't subvert the original for weirdo antisocial political agendas.
All you have to do is not fundamentally hate the story you're trying to tell (or the culture it comes from) while making a concerted effort to make it shittier. Make actual art and people will be just fine with it. Who knew?

@Xenofilms_ @kirkneverdied You don’t have to accept his logic, but it would be nice if you used, like, ANY logic at all.
English
@kirkneverdied "That's obviously unnatural."
So again, by YOUR logic, the spike at the higher end is also "obviously unnatural" too yeah?
English
Totally organic distribution of scores. Nothing unnatural here.

Totally normal behaviour by the way 🤣 #TheOdyssey

@lulumeservey This seems fine? I didn’t have any problem discerning what they meant.
“Based on FDA guidance, we’re removing all iceberg lettuce. Our other products are fine, as they contain no iceberg lettuce.”
English
This confusing statement raises more questions than it answers…
1) most importantly, they give no straight answer to the top question people have, ie: did they eat or buy something that’s gonna destroy their toilet?? Instead there’s just a flood of words (fittingly, that’s called logorrhea)
2) “no branded salads or kits are associated with the outbreak” + “no salad kits contain iceberg” forces the reader to solve a twisted logic puzzle
3) “no branded kits contain iceberg lettuce” followed by “we’ve removed all iceberg lettuce” is again perplexing and feels squirrely
Good crisis comms should resolve questions and allay doubts, but this statement just raises a bunch of new ones
Taylor Farms@YourTaylorFarms
No Taylor Farms branded salads or kits are associated with this cyclospora outbreak.

@pegobry_en @3LandObserver Exactly how much money to give away his first Oscar in 30 years?

Answer to your second: LOL

Given that Matt Damon is a turbo-lib and Affleck has a trans kiddo, this might be as good a time as any to tell y’all that the story around Good Will Hunting is fake.
The scenario for Good Will Hunting was written by notorious Hollywood script doctor William Goldman, who also wrote Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Princess Bride, and All the President's Men.
Damon and Affleck were cast to play the part of the penniless screenwriters who made it in Hollywood by none other than Miramax’s Harvey Weinstein.
Good Will Hunting fit right into Miramax’s ‘90s recipe of making movies with broad audience appeal but enough veneer of intellectualism to win oscars (with vigorous campaigning).
One of the most striking aspects of the entire Weinstein fracas is that Damon and Affleck were never asked, not once, not even when they went on Rogan, what they knew when about Weinstein allegedly preying on movie starlets.
Affleck and Damon are ultra-wealthy and ultra-respected even though their entire career is built on a lie orchestrated by the most infamous conman and sex criminal in Hollywood history.
