In “Apocalypto,” Mel Gibson transports you into the mind of a Mayan 500 years ago. In “The Northman,” Robert Eggers transports you into the mind of a Viking a thousand years ago. In “The Odyssey,” Christopher Nolan transports you into the mind of a liberal woman in 2017.
Gosh, I hate these people so much. They get one (possible, still not guaranteed) modest win and they sing about how stupid and awful and wrong we always have been and will be. 🤦🏻♂️
Everyone in this "Hollyweird world" is so up their own ass. 🙄🤡
Mel Gibson’s Odyssey would’ve been the greatest ancient epic of all time.
Greek cast of unknown actors speaking Ancient Greek, seeking out the most beautiful women in Greece for the roles of Helen & Penelope, with historically accurate armor & ships
For Apocalypto, Mel Gibson cast primarily Indigenous people from Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, many of whom had little or no previous acting experience. To add to the film’s authenticity, the entire movie was performed in the Yucatec Maya language.
@david_parker@TheAliceSmith Zendaya also looks absolutely nothing like Chani.
Regardless, her unwavering faith and loyalty to Paul were central to who she was. Changing that changes far more than just one character. 💔
@david_parker@TheAliceSmith As a massive fan of the first book (a masterpiece of science-fiction) and even the next 2 or 3 after that (it gets increasingly ridiculous after 3), what Denis and Zendaya have done with the character of Chani is nothing less than a complete betrayal of her character. 😤🙄👎🏻
@DiscussingFilm "One of the lowest scores ever?" 🤔
Umm, it's *the* lowest score for a live-action remake other than Pinocchio at 27%. Unless you want to count 102 Dalmatians and Alice Through the Looking Glass, but you really shouldn't, as those are sequels, not remakes. 🤷🏻♂️
Rainn Wilson says “fuck you” to Ricky Gervais for telling actors to shut up about politics
"One of the things that pisses me off to no end is Ricky Gervais saying, ‘Just take your actor award. No one wants to hear what you have to say.’ It’s like, Fuck you. Bullshit"
"Everyone gets to say what they want to say about anything. Gaza, climate change, politics. You get to say it if you’re a truck driver or a school teacher. We have free speech"
"Why would you try to shame and silence someone from speaking their truth?"
@TheCriticalDri2 Why in the actual hell are you referring to a *woman* (in literally every sense and meaning of the word) as "he/him"?? 🙄🤦🏻♂️
Give me a break, Drinker. I know you're not a traditional conservative or anything, but you are better than this. 🤝🏻
Reality and truth matter. 🙏🏻
