No idea what's going on with this "cost of lunch" discourse. I paid $5 for all this just a couple months ago at a bar in rural Upstate NY. Two mini-burgers + pickle for $1 2 pickled eggs for $1 Labatt Blue $2 Tip $1 I get this meal fairly often. Y'all suck at being poor lol





Let’s compare Fagles and Wilson on the proem to the Odyssey. Their skopoi differ. Wilson wants the same number of lines as the original; Fagles wants everything the original says. Wilson gives you the pace; Fagles its imagery. Both convey and both betray the original. >

Daniel Kaluuya hasn’t starred in a major release in four years. What gives? He’s only 37, already has an Oscar & is clearly one of the most talented actors on Earth. It confuses me why he’s not making more films right now. This guy is a world-class actor in every sense imaginable

we are losing the ancient texts





Miles Teller stopped doing press profiles after Esquire magazine labeled him "kind of a dick." He now says: "It felt like such a violation..." “That was so mishandled. The reason why I have not done profiles is because I said, ‘Wow, if I’m not doing this interview on camera, this person can misquote things or put things out of order or say things that didn’t happen.’ It felt like such a violation of what actually transpired. I told my team, ‘Guys, I don’t think I’m doing this again, because I’m reading this and this doesn’t sound like me to me. This is not life, so why would I ever want to be a part of something where they can just put that in?' So it’s unfortunate that being a good person, that doesn’t sell. People want to click on the negativity. If you go to bed and put your head on your pillow and how you treat people truly, that’s what matters. That [2015] interview was like 12 years ago.” (via IndieWire) variety.com/2026/film/news…
