I know a lot of people are getting tired of the odyssey discourse, but I am not. I want to let this play out and see how far these cranks are going to go to deny the success of the movie haha

@jpodhoretz: “It’s possible that this is the single-greatest cinematic adaptation of a great work of literature in the 113-year history of the motion picture as a popular art form”: https://t.co/3jpeSTAMHW

If it is in fact true that one of the most foundational texts of Western civilization is not compulsory reading in British schools, that may be a worse sign of societal degradation than the UK having a lower GDP per capita than Mississippi.

Might be showing my ass but I kinda refuse to believe this many people have read the odyssey

A few centuries ago, the King of Spain could definitely afford better entertainment than you. Now, there is no better movie he can watch than the same movie everyone else is watching.

The democratization of entertainment, thanks to technology.

[John Podhoretz @jpodhoretz]

The key thing about THE ODYSSEY, and why we need it now, is the reminder it provides us that Western culture has presented us with the highest expressions of human greatness from the get-go. It is the first story, it's 2600 years old, and nothing better has come along since.

It is funny to see some surprise that the director who sold $1 billion of tickets to an artsy biopic about Robert Oppenheimer vs the Red Scare just *might* have a hit with a dozen super-famous hot people acting out the Ur-text of Western storytelling

anytime i see AI slop I immediately check if they complain about data centers use of electricity

[John Podhoretz @jpodhoretz]

A superb piece by @AlyssaRosenberg on books related to THE ODYSSEY that reveal more about their authors (one of whom is Patrick Deneen) than about Homer.

With THE ODYSSEY, Christopher Nolan once again shows he's Hollywood's great liberal humanist, alive to man's capacity for greatness, and all too aware of the ways in which our nature can also destroy a fragile civilization.
A grand, stunning film.

Does anyone have the number for his fax machine so I can send him my spec script for a “Tchaikovsky tours America” biopic

[Sonny Bunch @SonnyBunch]

They're going to have to change the name of "blank checks" to "Nolan checks" after this and OPPENHEIMER. There is literally no one else like him in movies right now, it's nuts.
