These people are permanently stuck in their teenage self-consciousness who saw Inception in theaters while high.

Nolan is and always has been the midwit's "intellectual" director.

Mel Gibson and Robert Eggers transported you into the mind of Matt Walsh, commentator, watching Mel Gibson and Robert Eggers in between handfuls of popcorn. Nothing more.

In “Apocalypto,” Mel Gibson transports you into the mind of a Mayan 500 years ago. In “The Northman,” Robert Eggers transports you into the mind of a Viking a thousand years ago. In “The Odyssey,” Christopher Nolan transports you into the mind of a liberal woman in 2017.

There is a scene with Odysseus and Penelope that is explicitly sensual where she is lying on his back, which says everything that needs to be said, but because there isn’t literal porn you have written this.

It’s weird that no one is sexually attracted to each other in THE ODYSSEY, like, at all. The only horny person in the whole movie is the guy who suicide rushes the sirens and he picked his way out which I respect.

@saracen_heath Calypso keeps referring to how happy they’ve been, one could easily imagine them having sex. Bringing in the lotus flower there was effective either way.
English
@saracen_heath That aspect is implied without needing to be written into the script.

@astigmatic_eye I think you’re being disingenuous. Nobody wants pornography. It feels strange that Circe and Calypso were also completely rewritten to eliminate that aspect of Odysseus’s delayed return, mainly so Nolan can isolate his fault to the violation of “Zeus’s law”at Troy

A translator of The Odyssey is the exact person who one could predict would like a tweet about the way a movie adaption failed to precisely cuck itself to a work of literature.

Odyssey translator Daniel Mendelsohn liked my tweet about Nolan Odyssey. One of the purest feelings of vindication a curmudgeonly pseud such as myself can possibly achieve.

@YoungerPope You’d like that, “Evil Sexy Hamlet.” Then enough characters would be sufficiently horny for you.
English
@astigmatic_eye No you’re right, the post is my coded way of saying the movie could only be good if there were full penetration scenes, several of them, each lasting at least 10 minutes.

@astigmatic_eye Have you read about Orgonomy? I wonder if there are similarities

@Logo_Daedalus @FlannaGanna It is crazy how every 70mm showing for the next week is sold out, I’m going to go in person and inquire
English
Think I have to cut my losses at this point. Every 70MM Imax screening of the Odyssey is sold out for as far as tickets are listed. They are sold out at 10am shows in August. I will have to watch the peasant version without the Dune preview. Maybe not even worth.
