#TheOdyssey translator Emily Wilson slams Christopher Nolan's movie over "abysmal" writing: “I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script.”
“Nolan’s ‘Odyssey’ lacks many of the elements that make the poem great. It has nothing convincing to say about time, memory, history, war, or bout the relationship between one warrior’s glorious return and the lives of his family, adversaries, comrades, friends and neighbors. It lacks psychological, emotional, political and ethical depth. Its narrative structure is gimmicky. The writing is abysmal. None of the characters has convincing motivation for their actions or words. There are no sex scenes, and all the food looks horrible.” (via London Review of Books/The Guardian).

“Reacher” star Alan Ritchson slammed the “fucking rapists” in politics and says he’d release the full Epstein files “in two seconds” to “hold people accountable”:
“I don’t care what room they’re in. Bitch, move. Give me the fucking manila envelope. I will get you the Epstein files,” he said on the “Happy, Sad, Confused” podcast. “Don’t you want to see what’s in there so that we can hold people accountable? These fucking rapists! We’re just cool with it?”
Without naming names, the action star turned his attention to a politician with quite a lot of power: “That bitch has the keys to the nuclear. He’s, like, all up into 13-year-olds. Like, dude, what? Go to jail. Go to jail.”
Ritchson prefaced the rant by joking that his publicist is somewhere “biting her nails” and saying he is “missing” the gene that makes some actors “afraid to speak their mind.” “Everybody is scared around me for what I’m going to say,” Ritchson said, adding that he is not a “loose cannon,” he’s just “saying the shit that everybody should say if they give a shit about humanity.”
