@sentantiq A very fun and very unscientific theory about Iliad and Odyssey taking place in Baltic and North Sea. Compares descriptions of places and - as said - goes often off the rails. And since it'd place Achilles in Estonia, I'm biased lol.
@BretDevereaux Of course Achilles was real and from SW Estonia if we go by Felice Vinci. And given the Nolan's choice of boat design and colour, I thought he followed that school of thought lol.
Any comment on the very serious claim of Iliad taking place on the shores of the Baltic Sea?
@sentantiq It's not the source that's the problem, it's people having lost trust in Hollywood (and filmmakers in general) when it comes to these choices. They are of course too lost in the sauce to realise it and thus try and claim more "honourable" reasons.
@randomfilmtalk Well, your review is well structured, wittily written, splendidly acted and charmingly designed. And absolutely autistic in its pedantry, but that's too high bar for any mainstream media. Random for showrunner 2026 has my vote!
@tubutjalle@Thorin The channel wanted to do decade old format in YouTube, but with less edge and sex appeal and with a million dollar budget. Their model was wildly unsustainable. And that's before we take into account the grifters and/or out of touch people involved.
@MadamSavvy You mean the attention seeker Zoe Quinn who used the fading Me Too movement to bully an ex from a messy relationship from 2 years agou out of job and into suicide?
@Prominent_Bryan@tombennett71 A generation back at least state and most parents understood the necessity to give teachers the space to teach and demand discipline. And usually even most admins. Nowadays when something happens, everyone throws the teacher under the bus.
@Prominent_Bryan@tombennett71 Everyone are against you - the state, the admin, the parents, the old cadre and their cliques. Nobody has your back in a dispute and the kids have always been adversarial so it's impossible to establish authority without one. It's demoralising for a newcomer.
@emkenobi Oh and I don't care if he looks effeminate, I don't believe Page can look like somone who's a born fighter through gait and other body language.
@emkenobi Agreed on people wanting to hate on Elliot Page and not confirmed. But if it doesn't matter, why not do it well? ave someone whose physique says "unbeatable". It's the "it's just for kids so it's ok if it sucks" excuse all over again.
Both the production and reactions are stupid
@AnimarchyYT Nah, that's pretty on point with average Soviet naming schemes. I've lost count how much Friendship, Victory and Dawn our streets, bridges etc used to represent.
