It's worth reading Emily Wilson's own words, rather than relying on the articles about her article which inevitably reduce or sensationalise her thoughtful reflection on Nolan's adaptation.

#TheOdyssey is a disenchanted movie. Deliberately so, no doubt, but curious to render a mythological world of Gods and Monsters in such a straightfaced manner. As with Oppenheimer it will have its defenders; but in its 3 hours did it offer a scene as magical or eerie as this...

[Daniel Hussey @DanielHussey2]

Look at these scenes.

75 years of Hurt.

@EoinLenihan "Where everyone is responsible, no one is really responsible.”
— Albert Bandura

While crime is a multivariate phenomenon the project to redistribute primary responsibility for crimes to "culture" rather than the criminal perpetrators should be treated much more skeptically.

Ultimately any artistic endeavour worthy of the name is a product of the unconscious. AI is neither conscious nor unconscious, it's algorithmic. It cannot create, it can only emulate.

[Variety @Variety]

Salman Rushdie says AI has "zero" role in storytelling.

"It’s not useful to creative work because AI has no capacity for originality. What it can do is suck up enormous amounts of information and produce versions of that. But what it can’t do is something nobody’s done before. And that’s what art is, is to find things people haven’t done before. So, I mean I have less than zero interest in AI.”

@ATRightMovies The last of the V8 Interceptors... a piece of history

[Kenneth Sloane @kennethsloane]

@Katie_Lam_MP @JohnCleese This delusional, but flattering narrative prolonged political violence unnecessarily for decades. When the British Government finally acknowledged and addressed the intolerable conditions it had created the violence ended. Demonisation didn't achieve anything, it rarely does.

[Kenneth Sloane @kennethsloane]

@realMaalouf @ProfDHayes That's easy. The Egyptian Government is a military dictatorship which coordinates & collaborates with the Israeli occupation on condition that 1: Israel does not displace the population into Egyptian territory, 2: Israel does not attack Egypt 3: The US pays Egypt $1.3 billion p.a

@griptmedia @Ben_Scallan "I learned that very often the most intolerant and narrow-minded people are the ones who congratulate themselves on their tolerance and open-mindedness." - Christopher Hitchens

[Kenneth Sloane @kennethsloane]

@ColetteColfer Given their daily displays of sanctimony, dogmatisim, intolerance of dissent & evident belief in themselves as a sacerdotal elite one wonders if/when our politicans will gain sufficient self reflection to realise they are not only deeply religious, but embody it's worst elements

[Kenneth Sloane @kennethsloane]

This is one of the most perfect scenes in cinema history

[Kenneth Sloane @kennethsloane]

Without doubt, without question, the greatest television series ever made. As relevant as it is enigmatic. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

@ATRightMovies Christopher Nolan is a metteur en scène.

[Kenneth Sloane @kennethsloane]

@griptmedia If these people sincerely meant what they say they could alleviate the "problem" by resigning from their well paid position of power. It's curious how they never mention this as an option, much less act upon it. It's just misandry and racial prejudice masquerading as compassion.

[Kenneth Sloane @kennethsloane]

@griptmedia The incremental authoritarianism of the political class keeps on ratcheting up. The contempt these politicians hold for our constitutional right of free speech, freedom of the press and freedom of conscience is palpable and already permeates reams of Government policies.
