If Mel Gibson were to direct The Aeneid he would show Hollywood how its done - no apologies for the culture of the times and in their original language.
What the cinema snobs are missing about the Odyssey hullabaloo isn't that Nolan's Odyssey is a bad movie, after all, it benefits from a cast of Hollywood prima donnas, a massive budget, Nolan as its director, and it's The Odyssey dammit.
The argument is, incorporating wokeness has made it a lesser movie.
It could have been an all-time great given the all-time great source material, but Nolan frittered it away with anochronic race-swapping of established historical figures, committed egregious miscasting, and profaned the source material with modern language that dumbs it down doing a disservice to the cinematic experience.
The Odyssey is not any source material, it is World Heritage stuff. Of course people are going to have an opinion on it and wish to see it at its most historically accurate and well produced so that it is a cinematic jewel it deserves to be and future generations are motivated to read it.
So she submitted a falsified financial disclosure form. Then she followed it up by submitting another financial disclosure form that is just as sketchy.
And we’re supposed to be good with that?
Rep. Ilhan Omar's financial disclosures erased millions, leaving her with a potential negative net worth — but she won't explain why.
Fox News Digital repeatedly asked the Minnesota Democrat whether her husband still owns the consulting and wine businesses tied to the dramatic change in the couple's reported assets. Omar declined to answer.
The questions come after Omar revised financial disclosures that reduced the reported value of shared assets from millions of dollars to a maximum of $125,000, fueling scrutiny over the dramatic change in the couple's finances.
Today is the last day of the Great American State Fair. Proud of the entire team at @AFPhq@ConcernedVets and @LIBREinitiative for putting on one of the best exhibits at the fair. Collectively, we welcomed more than 20,000 Americans at our booth to talk about the principles in the Declaration of Independence. 🇺🇸
@JetJacket They’ve lost the script haven’t they?
Relax, take in the moment with your homies, celebrate the wins that come around so very rarely. Be a fan that can have fun, too. Life is short
Its hard out here being a true pedant, for all the world to behold.
Yes, he could be having fun, he could be sharing high-fives, backslaps and pints… but then who will call out the arrant practice?
My man.
A Norway fan has gone viral for not taking part in their Row celebration after matches and won't do it if they win the World Cup

Looks like America is showing up at the doorstep of @fortworthpd - thank you @HarmeetKDhillon.
Freedom of speech and religion are both fundamental freedoms enshrined in our First Amendment for a reason - we must never cede an inch of our freedoms to any level of government.
@libsoftiktok Brass at @fortworthpd better get this mini tyrant in alignment with the First Amendment, or America may show up at their doorstep demanding accountability.

James talarico says Islam and Christianity are "equal pathways to truth."
"I always think of all the world's faith traditions as a circle, with that divine mystery of the universe in the middle. We all have different names for that mystery, whether it's God or Yahweh or Allah or Nirvana or Great Spirit. Whatever you call it, this is all different pathways to the same fundamental truth." #TXsen
I told @JulieBanderas of @FoxNoticiasEnX a month ago that every Democrat who supported/endorsed Platner would be sullied and stained by Platner's multifarious activities.
It didn't take a genius to figure this one out, just common sense.
.@JulieBanderas de @FoxNoticiasEnX me pregunta sobre Graham Platner, candidato al Senado de Maine: le digo que es una vergüenza nacional, que en fin manchará todo Demócrata que lo defiende. Ha hecho de todo los Demócratas que lo defienden hipócritas sobre los temas de racismo, y pierden el derecho de cuestionar el carácter de otros. https://t.co/D2xupNCLqA
I will watch #TheOdyssey given my love for both of Homer’s epic literary masterpieces.
Still, I like others am getting fatigued with flagrantly anachronistic race-swapping of established/historical characters, and blatant cultural appropriation that only goes one way.. enough
Lots of people telling me The Odyssey is a terrible film on the basis of not having seen it…
FWIW, I’ve now watched it twice, and it is by some way the best cinematic adaptation of a Greek myth I have ever seen.
It honours Homer while simultaneously making something new of him
Spectacular goal to tie game by Messi. What a beast.
#Egypt cannot contain the man. Shouldn’t feel bad, nobody else has either.
This #worldcup still writing incredible stories. #argentina
Everyone can say what they want, the 2026 #usmnt team was great.
They gave us some great moments. But mostly,
I love that they are a team that prays, win or lose. Seeking God’s favor is esteemed high above seeking the world’s favor. Proverbs 3:34
