@sassmyassafrass Everything I don’t like is woke. Duh.

[Josh Olson @joshuarolson]

I'm so tired of covering for this shit. Over 30 years in the film business, and I've never seen anything as vile and despicable as Christopher Nolan making changes to the source material AND casting a Black person in the film. This just isn't done, and we in the film business don't stand up now, it will keep happening.

[Jon Del Arroz | Sci-Fi And Fantasy @jondelarroz]

Nolan on why he gutted the real ending of The Odyssey: "The end of the poem is so grim and so misogynistic, I had to exclude some of that material."

He didn't adapt Homer. He edited him for wrongthink.

3,000 years of literature, rewritten because a millionaire director decided the original was problematic.

Note he waited until the film had been out a week to release this information.

Hollywood is intentionally destroying our culture. Do you get it now?

@sassmyassafrass Woke lies

[Josh Olson @joshuarolson]

@GumptionAndCo Have you seen it? It doesn’t even rhyme!

[Josh Olson @joshuarolson]

@mgalindo_gif @lspear412 Who would do such a thing?

[Josh Olson @joshuarolson]

@Jaden_Hercules @lspear412 If an adaptation isn’t a literal word for word transcription, it’s an abomination.

[Josh Olson @joshuarolson]

@lspear412 You do not make changes to the source material. It must not be done.

[Josh Olson @joshuarolson]

@DanBurmawy Allahu Akbar!

[Josh Olson @joshuarolson]

@Gazz_54 This is your first time seeing a movie, isn't it?

[Josh Olson @joshuarolson]

@BadFilmTakes1 I love Drive with a deep and endless passion, but I hear you. You'll like this - the screenwriter of Drive told me the elevator scene was his attempt to one up the stairway scene in AHOV.

[Josh Olson @joshuarolson]

@Liberal_Monkeys @BulwarkOnline Yeah. He sucked ass too. What’s your point?

[Josh Olson @joshuarolson]

@phillyliquorlaw @jakeures Believe me. I know.

[Josh Olson @joshuarolson]

@ksorbs You smell your balls.

[Josh Olson @joshuarolson]

@jakeures Never saw it.

[Josh Olson @joshuarolson]

@jakeures When I was writing the first Reacher movie, we knew it had to be an established movie star, but we all dreamed of finding the perfect unknown actor (sorry, Tom), AND he had to be American. 10 minutes into the first episode, I know our prince had finally come.

[Josh Olson @joshuarolson]

@LexiAIexander I’m sure you know this, but you know who is spending a ton focusing on older Black Democrats.

[Josh Olson @joshuarolson]

@phillyliquorlaw @TBifford Biehn had other qualities that made him a better choice.

[Josh Olson @joshuarolson]

@Zaxeter2 @Wiyve LOL

Seriously, dude. That’s supposed to hurt?

[Josh Olson @joshuarolson]

@peteforiowa @daveanthony I met so many amazing people doing that show - like you - it’s ridiculous.

[Josh Olson @joshuarolson]

A listener found this clip. For anyone still wondering if @daveanthony and I knew what we were talking about...
