@PageauJonathan @Tom_LSOO Hope they paid you well for that self-own you just pulled.

@Tom_LSOO I agree with you that this is very concerning and disturbing, and you are probably right that I should not have apologized. Might delete the tweet. Although I don't think the people attacking me are my base.

Refers to Elliot Page as “he” in his review and immediately has to correct himself for his outraged, bigoted base. Who’s the pronoun police now?

@2m_rvs Nothing that deep, he's controlled opposition.

i'm including myself here, i've been pretty vocal about my disbelief over the choices nolan made, but i have yet to encounter a moment where jonathan wasn't spot on about some weird shit going on in contemporary culture

@Krasaki_Tsou Τέτοιοι είναι οι τουρκόφωνοι από Φάσαρα και γενικά Καραμάν, ξέρουν ότι είναι τούρκοι κατά βάθος που από σπόντα βρεθήκαν Ελλάδα. Θέλαν και Τουρκικό Πατριαρχείο αλλά φάγαν πόρτα.

Πήγαν Έλληνες σε τουρκικό χωριό να βρουν τις ρίζες τους και συνυπέγραψαν μαζί με Τούρκους: «Νιώσαμε μεγάλη χαρά που μας δόθηκε η ευκαιρία να γνωριστούμε καλύτερα και να αναβιώσουμε τους δεσμούς γειτονίας που είχαν κάποτε οι παππούδες και οι γιαγιάδες μας στα ίδια χωριά. Ευχόμαστε στο μέλλον να συνεχίσουμε να συνεργαζόμαστε, συμβάλλοντας και από τις δύο πλευρές στη διατήρηση της ειρηνικής συλλογικής μνήμης που μας κληροδότησαν οι πρόγονοί μας.» Οι «γείτονες» όμως των παππούδων και γιαγιάδων ήταν ο καδής, ο βοεβόδας και ο μουντεσελίμης. Στα «δικαστήρια» του καδή η μαρτυρία χριστιανού είχε μικρότερη βαρύτητα. Οι ραγιάδες είτε έχαναν είτε «έχωναν χοντρό μπαξίσι» — ντενεκέδια λάδι, λίρες, κατσίκες, πρόβατα. Οι φτωχότεροι έδιναν αβγά ή κότες για να μειωθεί η ποινή. Ο βοεβόδας ήταν η προσωποποίηση της καταπίεσης και του τρόμου. Φοροεισπράκτορας και τοπάρχης με στρατό πραιτοριανών δίπλα του. Όπου περνούσε, τα κεφάλια των ραγιάδων έφταναν στο χώμα. (Σαν τον Σεΐζη στο «Ο Χριστός ξανασταυρώνεται»). Ο μουντεσελίμης ήταν όλα σε ένα: διοίκηση, ασφάλεια, φόροι. Υπήρχε για να επιτηρεί την ανισότητα. Μικτοί γάμοι; Κοινωνικά κατακριτέοι. Ρωμιά με Τούρκο = μεγάλη αμαρτία και κατάρα (μόνο αν αλλαξοπιστούσε). Το αντίθετο θεωρούνταν ύψιστη ντροπή και απαγορευόταν. Ιδιοκτησία γης; Δεν υπήρχε με τη σημερινή έννοια. Η γη ανήκε στον Σουλτάνο. Για να αγοράσει χριστιανός χρειαζόταν έγκριση + μπαξίσια από βοεβόδα και μουντεσελίμη. Νταβατζήδες των ραγιάδων. Με το κίνημα των Νεοτούρκων χιλιάδες σφαγιάστηκαν από τους «γείτονες». Και όμως υπήρξαν Έλληνες που συνυπέγραψαν ότι οι πρόγονοι κληροδότησαν «ειρηνική συλλογική μνήμη» και ότι πρέπει να συνεργαστούμε για να τη διατηρήσουμε. Πολλά από αυτά τα κουσούρια δυστυχώς μας έμειναν. Είναι αυτός ο τρόπος να τιμήσουμε τη μνήμη των προγόνων και την ιστορία;

@CinemaTweets1 Shut your face, shill.

I have one question for the Christopher Nolan haters/for all the folks on this here app who questioned Nolan: what’s it like being on the wrong side of history? I’m truly, genuinely asking. What’s it like having to go to sleep at night knowing you were so fucking wrong? Face the music. Look in the mirror. Christopher Nolan just brushed you off his shoulder.

@PageauJonathan "Trust me, bros, you think it's woke but it's actually super-based, you just need to also be super-based and smart nooticer like me, the Orthobro intellectual, it's so good it's a triumph."

Yes, it was a slip of the tongue, speaking about someone with a male name playing a male character. Gender confusion brings about confusion in all of us. It was certainly not an ideological decision.

@MarthaFaus39412 @AleaJactaEst101 Ναί.

@vrts_333 @AleaJactaEst101 Οπως κι αυτος ας πουμε;

@annielcrawford It's common for new world orthobros to hate on Greeks, nothing new here.

In order to see this moment clearly, and to wisely participate in the Good, we need to understand is it DOES NOT MATTER what story Nolan thought he was telling; it only matters what story he actually told. Art is a thing greater than the artist through which it comes. Until we grasp this, we will never recover from all our individualistic narcissism. I see a great deal of old school Puritanism in response to @PageauJonathan, that graceless purity cult which cannot receive any truth unless it flows from some kind of pristinely unsoiled source - which is a thing that doesn't actually exist in this world, which is why conservatives never have any good art.

@PaulTassi Stop pissing all over my culture and history. Stop hating on Greeks.

The Odyssey is going to make a bunch of money, win a bunch of awards and millions of people will love it. Hating it sight unseen because you want to be part of an edgy antiwoke movement spamming buzzwords and slurs in comment threads is just a miserable way to live.

@PageauJonathan We know you hate Greeks, it's common for new world Orthobros.

First thoughts on The Odyssey. There is a scene at the very beginning of the film in which, in the absence of his father, Telemachus is being trained by the blind Eumaeus, Odysseus’s loyal servant. Eumaeus warns that the reason Telemachus is constantly being bested by his sparring partner is that his defense is too quick. He must move more slowly, open his chest, invite the attack, and use his opponent’s momentum against him. In the spirit of Odysseus, deep trickery is at work in this film. Don’t let the apparent compromises fool you. The Odyssey is an absolute triumph. It is made with a profound love for the source material, filled with deep pathos: the return of the father, the elevation of the son, and the restoration of proper order despite all the sins perpetrated by the guardians of that order. It is a film about the end of one world and the beginning of another; about remembrance, return, and the perpetuation of an order after a long wandering through chaos. It’s The Odyssey.

@daveleedwnundr I am Greek and that film is cancer, and so are all of you shills.

Don’t listen to manufactured online outrage. Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ is immense filmmaking. We’ve never had a movie like this in my lifetime and I fear we never will again.

@Tweets4Onur You can have them, komsu, we don't want them.

Bunu ilk gördüğümde dalga geçiyor sandım, ama gerçekmiş. Yunanlar yağlı güreşi de çalmış! Kıspetidis, pehlivanis....

@HardwareUnboxed You sound like a neurotic foid, mate.

So the Steam Machine is meant to be easier to live with than a traditional gaming PC, but already needs a BIOS update to avoid thermal throttling. It uses a Radeon GPU, what were they expecting?

@romanhelmetguy @DiscussingFilm No one likes a smart ass.

@DiscussingFilm The Greek is literally "pater."

Tom Holland explains why he says “Dad” instead of “Father” in ‘THE ODYSSEY’. “I wouldn't have said ‘Father’ back then anyway, it would've been in Greek.”

@LundukeJournal Can it run steam.

@ElifinErdem @HeraldOfRome @Mustafa33339986 @YusufErim34 Cope and seethe. 🇬🇷🇮🇱

@vrts_333 @HeraldOfRome @Mustafa33339986 @YusufErim34 You better focus on the vulgar reality of your condition that made those words aptly applicable.

The Greek Cypriots left themselves out in the cold when they shot down the Annan Plan and the Cyprus issue became unresolvable after it was shelved during their EU accession process. Now they are trying to present the Cyprus issue as an EU problem. If it was an EU problem it would and should have been addressed in 2004/2005. The EU accepted Cyprus as a divided island and until Greek Cypriots get off their maximalist high horse and reach a deal with their Turkish Cypriot neighbors, a divided island it will remain.

@ElifinErdem @HeraldOfRome @Mustafa33339986 @YusufErim34 Vulgarity is your natural state of being, I understand.

@vrts_333 @HeraldOfRome @Mustafa33339986 @YusufErim34 I can’t take responsibility for the fact that there doesn’t seem to be a polite way to describe your condition.

@ElifinErdem @HeraldOfRome @Mustafa33339986 @YusufErim34 You're crass, turk. Very apt.

@vrts_333 @HeraldOfRome @Mustafa33339986 @YusufErim34 Relax, no need to piss your pants over it just yet.
