I genuinely wouldn't care if the Odyssey movie featured an all-midget cast and moved the location to Boston.
It's an ancient work of fiction that has been adapted many times. Creators should be able to do anything they like with it.

I read a comment on this thread yesterday (no credit to me) that said…why does the male relative have enough cash to buy the child bride but not enough decency to help out financially to stop his relatives from starving. Whoever made that comment should be replacing the journalist who wrote this piece.

@willovision @LORDIOFFICIAL The only time the televoters were allowed to decide
English
20 years ago today 🇫🇮 Finland won #Eurovision for the first and only time to date @LORDIOFFICIAL ‘Hard Rock Hallelujah’ at the 51st contest held in Athens Greece. 🇷🇺 Russia were 2nd 🇧🇦 Bosnia & Herzegovina finished 3rd

@marmielake2000 @ThePosieParker @SarahTheHaider So, if the BBC was there, why have they not helped these girls and family instead of filming them being sold for a report!? How evil are these people!
English
@ThePosieParker @SarahTheHaider it gets even worse though. the article makes it clear that the little girl is being sold to a relative. meaning that this bastards family had money to loan his lazy ass, but they want his daughter to rape in return. how incredibly fucked up can you get??

I'm 🇬🇧 British, so I hope me laughing at Ukrainians laughing at us is acceptable.
They send professionals to Eurovision, we send the guy from down the pub who is trying to count to three.

I got it! I know what could save Christopher Nolan's Odyssey movie: Pedro Pascal.
English
@sedaye_iran @HamblinHen61649 I think it depends what the director wants to achieve with the movie. Nolan is making a historical epic, this is how they try to market it. 300 is not trying to be anything but entertaining and eye candy.
English
@HamblinHen61649 Nolan is taking as much liberty with Homer as that graphic novel and movie took with history.
English
Fun Fact: Lupita Nyong resembles Helen of Troy much more than that character in 300 resembled Xerxes.

@mamamamove I wonder if she wrote the song when Bulgaria was rumored to return in 2024 (hence the song writing camp) but then kept it unreleased for when the time came in 2026 👀

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BANGARANGA WAS WRITTEN IN NOVEMBER 2023?!!?!?

One of the most beautifully crafted films of all time..
The Fall follows a hospitalized stuntman who begins telling an elaborate fantasy tale to a young girl, as the boundary between imagination and reality gradually fades away.
Directed by Tarsem Singh, the film is widely regarded as one of the most visually stunning movies ever created, known for its vivid colors, surreal landscapes, and breathtaking imagery filmed in real locations across the world.

@DomiAreWe I thought it was a mess and the outfit like an oversized nappy

@LittleMermaidKV Similar to Alexander the Great Movie. This will be a hard flop.

Forget about the race inaccuracies, Tom Holland is so ridiculously feminine it hurts. And to imagine he portrays the son of Odysseus…
I am not changing my mind on Damon and Hathaway either. The casting is just altogether bad.
As someone who extensively studied ancient Greek history, I was excited when I heard there was going to be a movie. Genuinely sad I won’t be able to watch it.

THE ODYSSEY official trailer on YT has now become the most disliked movie trailer in Christopher Nolan career.

@Ifrit_WG @bosdovja92 Nemo changed his pronouns 6 months before the contest. He is in a straight relationship and changed pronouns to be more edgy. The guy has no charisma and rode on jury sentiment. He will change back to he/him in a year or two.
English
@bosdovja92 Eden kept using Nemo pronouns wrong & mock Bambie even before Eurovision Month started?!
English
It is genuinely heartwarming to see how everyone was with Noam this year. It doesn’t mean they support the Israeli government, it means they see PEOPLE and accept them.
Bambie, Marina, Nemo and everyone else who ostracised Eden, take note!

@nonregemesse @theemetris I don't think you understand the importance of ethnicity outside of the US. You are very ignorant.
English
@theemetris Chinese people are a different race to white people whereas Greeks are not a different race to other white people.
Your comparison is a false equivalence and you are overreacting
English
The criticism of the Odyssey casting veers into delusion once people start demanding Greek actors.
This is a major Hollywood film and the fame of the cast matters very much.
To demand a film studio risk their film failing in order to cast unknown Greek actors is ridiculous.
Niklander@Niklander3
"Cast Greek people" they say about The Odyssey meanwhile the irony is people can't even come up with a Greek actor. Even the Greek ones who are yelling this can't even mention any Greek actors cause they know that it won't be taken seriously and I speak as a Greek

👇Mel Gibson's 2006 film "Apocalypto" cleared 3x its production budget and was cast with ethnically faithful unknown actors who, no pun intended - killed it.

Again, a quality bit of comms. Reform operating on a different level of professionalism compared to Farage's previous outfits. Exactly the sort of candidate they need to run to be competitive. Going to be quite the contest.

Makerfield was Andy Burnham’s back up plan. For Robert Kenyon, it’s his home. This battle will be David Vs Goliath.

@lewis_goodall Farage parachuting into a constituency he had never visited before is exactly what he's complaining about in this video. Does he realise what party he's decided to be a member of?

@willovision This is the last UK Eurovision song I remember being a huge hit in its own right. No.1 in the singles chart back when that meant something. I remember this song was everywhere.

@willovision If televote would have been allowed, this would have won.
