@SUB_MAFlA @borngayXX @sum1saiditinnit I care to point out pointless futility. I take great joy in pointing that out to morons who are wrapped up in pearl clutching behavior. As I said, it’s a free country.

@bencavell @borngayXX @sum1saiditinnit You cared enough to respond to him several times. That’s what’s funny, You Care.

saw the odyssey imax prologue and yeah sorry to all of u doubting this film loooool

@borngayXX @sum1saiditinnit Yet, no one cares, and the movie will still be extremely successful. Waste all Your time if you like, it’s a free country

@bencavell @sum1saiditinnit Yes it does make a different. I pay $30 a month for hundreds of movies, it’s not the same like going out and spending a $100 (imax tickets + popcorn). And know my money is going to people who believe in the existence “Elliot” page. Any director that cast her needs to be boycotted

@borngayXX @sum1saiditinnit No one cares that you personally won’t pay to see it, yet you will, because you pay for whatever streaming service you will eventually see it on. You think you are fighting a culture war. You aren’t.

@bencavell @sum1saiditinnit Many many many people care that’s why its making headlines

@borngayXX @sum1saiditinnit

@sum1saiditinnit I saw that too and it looks great, but after I learned Ellen page is in the movie, I will not buy a ticket and will stream for free in a few years. I’d rather miss on the full experience than give my money to support transgenderism.

X is so cooked. Everyone and their cousin is now a classics scholar who cares deeply about movie casting. The lamest app.

@JenLRossman Hes from Cambridge, Khed.

I don't care about Helen of Troy being black I'm trying to wrap my mind around Odysseus being from Boston

@GenZ_Snowflake @xspotsdamark You didn’t answer my question. you obviously have never read the odyssey if you think Page is playing Achilles.

@bencavell @xspotsdamark In no version of the Odyssey is Helen a sub-Saharan black woman or Achilles a twink transboy LMAO.

You ain’t Greek either. Why did you play Hercules?

@GenZ_Snowflake @xspotsdamark There are multiple versions of the myth you plebe. Maybe you need to be the one doing more reading. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leda_(myt…

@bencavell @xspotsdamark Learn some basic history retard. Zeus (disguised as a swan) seduces the Spartan queen Leda. SHE birthed Helen.

@GenZ_Snowflake @xspotsdamark Can a person fathered by a swan and birthed out of an egg be a spartan?

@xspotsdamark Greek people are white. Meanwhile, a sub-Saharan black person can never be a Spartan.

@bernardtjoy So Helen of Troy’s father was a swan. That happened?

Myth did really happen. It has structures at least as deep and probably deeper than history. And we disturb its balance at our very real peril.

One disturbing thing I've heard over and again in the last few days is people saying that The Odyssey is myth, not history, and so "it didn't really happen" and therefore we can play as fast and loose with it as we wish. This shows a deep, dangerous misunderstanding of myth.

@elonmusk @bonchieredstate So when a god in the form of a swan seduces a woman the progeny must be a white human? She’s not a historical character, she’s a mythological creation, like Cerberus or Medusa or anything else in Greek mythology. The aesthetics of all of it is up to interpretation.

@bonchieredstate Exactly

Helen of Troy will probably be in ‘The Odyssey’ for like two minutes. It’s not going to make or break the movie. But come on. Everyone knows what the reaction would be if Nolan was doing an African mythology and cast Sydney Sweeney as a sub-Saharan princess. Let’s not be dumb.

@bonchieredstate Is the sub-Saharan princess the progeny of a swan as the fictional character Helen of Troy is? It’s a myth, what the characters looked like is completely up to interpretation, especially ones who were made by the gods..

@ChiDeviDasi @elonmusk Why can’t Helen be black? Her father was a swan for fucks sake.

Chris Nolan desecrated the Odyssey so that he would be eligible for an Academy Award …

@edneydenis @theQbanguy No, she was made by Zeus who was in the form of a freaking swan when he seduced her mother, Leda.. she is the most beautiful being in the world. Lupita Nyong’o is Kenyan and a Mexican national - born and raised there, if that’s who you are referencing. She is very beautiful.

@bencavell @theQbanguy But Helen of Troy came straight from Burkina Faso.

leaked Elliot Page fight scene from "The Odyssey" 😱

@MattTheHewR @JoshDaws Ok, if you are the demo - what part does the actor that you hate play in the epic? Hint: it’s absolutely not Achilles.

@JoshDaws I’m their target demographic. I love historic epics. And I’m not watching it. I won’t even watch it for free.

No, you are not going to lead a boycott of a Christopher Nolan movie, and your attempts to do so just reveal how little cultural influence you actually have.

@ryssee @6beerdinner Been there and open since 1934..

@bencavell @6beerdinner Isn't that still there?

For anyone Boston/MA based what was one bar/venue in Boston you went to that you were actually like “this place is actually quite nice and i want to come back”

@6beerdinner I’ve been several time. Wife used to drive a cab on the vineyard

@bencavell THE PAC. They have one on marthas vineyard it’s a must visit

@6beerdinner Also the Portuguese American Civic league in Inman is amazing
