@Cold_Arya @JohnnyFocal Wouldn't "the picture is just bigger" mean the screen is just bigger with the same aspect ratio? Its a different aspect ratio not just "bigger". Either way, movies great in IMAX and normal theatre

@JohnnyFocal That’s a lot of words to use just to say “the picture is just bigger”

Again, this is somebody spreading misinformation about how IMAX actually works. You are not “missing information.” IMAX is an immersive format, and the additional image area is there to extend into your peripheral vision and create that immersion. Treating every difference in framing as though essential visual information has been removed completely misunderstands both the purpose of IMAX and how human vision works. It is not simply about seeing “more picture.” It is about how the image occupies your field of view.

@YoztheCoder @hutchinson Deadass the most unsettling sound in a theater I've heard

@hutchinson The cyclops screams are what really got me. I had chills

This scene was fucking horrifying btw

Some very scattered thoughts on The Odyssey. Also, caveat that I know much more about Homer than I know about films, so this is very much a literature person reacting to a movie. SPOILERS AHEAD (how can you spoil a 5000 year old poem…) - I don’t really care whether it’s “faithful.” There is no single faithful Odyssey. Every translation is already an interpretation. - The music score was just…unremarkable. I kept waiting for the music ro do something to me and it didnt. It was just loud. - Matt Damon will win the Oscar for the siren scene - I wish Hollywood let women be this complicated more often. - Penelope is one of the best parts of Homer and I was glad the film understood that. - Matt Damon completely surprised me. I wasn’t sold on the casting. I thought he was fantastic. - The weariness of the film is intentional. By the time Odysseus gets home, you’re exhausted too. - The modern language didn’t bother me at all. Stopped noticing after 10 mins. - Circe is one of the biggest departures from Homer. Instead of simply being a witch, she’s a woman responding to violent men arriving at her home. - The biggest change is replacing divine punishment with guilt. In Homer, Poseidon keeps Odysseus from getting home. Here, it feels like Odysseus can’t forgive himself. - The “Sea Peoples” bit gutted me because suddenly Troy feels less like a glorious victory and more like a gross violation. Originally the sack of Troy was sanctioned by gods but here it’s the violation of Xenia (Zeus’s law) so uhhh. - The near absence of the gods was fascinating. Because they’re talked about constantly and they’re almost never present. - the Athena reveal scene fucked me uuuup. - I think Nolan is using Homer to say something about modern war. PTSD, shame, veterans unable to truly come ‘home’, innocents and bystanders dealing with the consequence of war. - Tom Holland’s Telemachus was perfect. He’s a boy raised without a father. This is his coming-of-age story too. - Robert Pattinson is delicious. More films should let him play pathetic little men. - I still have absolutely no idea what Nolan was doing with the Laestrygonians. Overall: Enjoyed. Dont go for faithfulness or education. Go to be awed.

@eksforos @RetroGamerKong Do you understand what a monopoly is or is this just bait. You got money thats cool, but the console you own has always been the "cheap" alternative compared to pc lmaaao. Your argument doesn't make sense when the point of the console is that its cheaper lmaaao

@RetroGamerKong @WackerWetNaps A) Studio doesn’t get paid, I pay $20 B) Studio does get paid, I pay $60 C) Studio does get paid, game’s on sale, I pay $20 Picking A just means you’re cheap, selfish, or both. “I want physical games to stay, because I’m cheap” is not a good argument.

I see a lot of these, people pretending to not understand what's going on. Or maybe they really don't, and they are absolutely clueless. Both? NO DISC 💿 NO BUY is about punching SONY straight in the purse. Money is the true universal language, and we are speaking to Sont with our wallets. No, screaming at them. We DO NOT want an all digital monopoly of video games & anime controlled by SONY. We want to own what we buy! If they ignore us, and don't reverse course..... KEEP HARASSING PLAYSTATION ON X- Keep the community notes coming! No Mercy! CANCEL PlayStation Plus CANCEL CRUNCHYROLL - owned by Sony and they are trying to limit the physical release of anime! DON'T BUY GTA6- why waste $100 on an empty box? NO MORE DIGITAL or NEW PLAYSTATION GAMES - support your local used game store and buy used physical & retro!!! NO DISC 💿 NO BUY, MAKE SONY CRY

@eksforos @RetroGamerKong As well the regional pricing? Why defend this? Its so confusing

@WackerWetNaps @RetroGamerKong “No Mans Sky is $80 without this specific sale” Okay, but No Mans Sky is $20 in every sale, and there are many sales. I think the way you frame things for yourself is just to make yourself angry lol

@JGoodroger @CultureCrave I apologize, didn't realize it was just the marketing campaign that was the problem, personally haven't seen any ads saying its worse in normal aspect ratio, enjoyed the movie fine without seeing the actors legs haha

@WackerWetNaps @CultureCrave If expressing my disdain for Nolan’s pretentious marketing campaign bothers you, feel free to stop responding.

‘The Odyssey’ IMAX 70mm vs standard format ⚔️

@JGoodroger @CultureCrave Im just seeing conplaining to complain, do you want there to be no use of IMAX? Its the first movie fully done in IMAX, do we want innovation or to just chill and not advance? If there were 300 IMAX projectors you wouldnt be complaining.

@WackerWetNaps @CultureCrave Why would i blame the CEO for not spends millions to build IMAX screens when there is no demand? Im a Nolan fan but that doesnt mean he isnt pretentious and making movie with the sole goal of winning awards and stroking his own ego.

@JGoodroger @CultureCrave blame the IMAX ceo for not putting out more projectors? Im in ontario and we got 7, only 2 near me, it sucks, I saw it in the normal theater, everything's booked until Aug 15, but I aint gonna be mad at a director, im hoping this movie adds a push for IMAX projectors

@WackerWetNaps @CultureCrave No i think its retarded to film in a ratio that only fits on 40 screens and then run a marketing campaign about how the poors can’t see it in its true form. Its nonsense. Ego stroking bullshit.

@JGoodroger @CultureCrave Bait? Or do you think he created IMAX lmao? We just need more IMAX projectors at more theatres

@CultureCrave Self indulgent, elitist nonsense. Somebody needs to sit Nolan down and explain to him that he is not the authority on film making simply because hes made some good flicks.

So to recap, Sony is: - Taking physical games off shelves - Taking anime off streaming services - Taking movies and shows out of our account Did I miss one?

@Psycommentary @EvanKirstel @CultureCrave @Variety They have 3 mins of screen time lmao, if that upsets you that much you got way more problems to worry about. you'd be surprised how many people you've shook hands with that have acc fecal matter on their hands. Way worse things to worry bout

@EvanKirstel @CultureCrave @Variety You like that Elliot page aye boomer?

Budget breakdown for Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' ⚔️ Production — $250M Marketing — ~$125M One of the most expensive R-rated films ever made (via @Variety)

@eksforos @RetroGamerKong Without the summer sale No Mans Sky is $79.99, thats a 10 year old game, got it for $20 at waomart two months ago, SONY is creating a monopoly where games will stay full price. No more getting em cheaper at EB games

@RetroGamerKong Yes! Please DO NOT BUY MORE GAMES. We want to enjoy gaming without you 😭

Seeing one of gods most majestic and divine creatures, fight so valiantly against the destruction and rampaging of his home should do untold psychic damage to your psyche. We should be radicalized by this.

its very possible that Sony loses the license to marvel titles in the future which would result in this game being pulled from their digital storefront

Yea that’s kinda the point why everyone is mad in the first place

@Palookaville25 @RockstarGames Be mad at SONY lmao, Rockstar Games and other gaming developers dont make their own discs, they outsource all that

@RockstarGames I thinks it’s shamelessly greedy of you not to even give us the option of buying the game on disc. You expect us to pay $100 and it can only be in digital form. I’m not going to waste my money. Your greed is nauseating.

Welcome to Leonida, the state where anything goes. Seize everything this massive world has to offer with the Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition, an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action around every corner. Pre-Order Now on PlayStation 5

@NathanDrakeFF @JakeArt20068285 @PhotoModeGamer No but if something happens that requires PSN support and you get the wrong employee your account can be terminated for violating terms of service.

@WackerWetNaps @JakeArt20068285 @PhotoModeGamer I'm sure Sony will rollout to more countries prior to 2028. Even so, you don't need to actually live in the country to make an account and buy games.

Man PlayStation really did kill any excitement I had for their upcoming games. I should be hyped for the new Wolverine trailer but I haven't even watched it. I should be hyped for the Laufey panel next week. This just sucks.

@JakeArt20068285 @PhotoModeGamer @NathanDrakeFF The real problem isn't even owning the licence vs the acc game. Its that Sony want an all digital storefront but PSN is only available in 65 countries, 120+ countries would lose access to playing games on playstation consoles with this move. So we need both disc and digital.

@PhotoModeGamer @NathanDrakeFF Completely true, lmao. Tell me you dont work in software without telling me.

@TheReason8286 @russmahrt @katsuxbt @byecradle This gotta be bait. Living off a 12k sponsor cause 950k isn't enough? Lmfaaaao dude

@russmahrt @katsuxbt @byecradle How is it ridiculous. Do you see where hes at. Did you watch the whole show?

CJ McCollum says a $2,000,000 NBA salary gets chopped down to under $1,000,000 after taxes and fees, so early on he lived off a $12,000 energy drink deal instead “Let’s say I was making $2 million, after taxes, let’s call it $950K, $970K, Agency fees 4%, marketing 15%. Those checks were chopped down” “I was living off an energy drink deal, I had a $12,000 deal just to get some posts off, and I lived off of that”
