And drunk delight of battle with my peers,
Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy,
I am a part of all that I have met...

@escapefrommelos Wait you’re telling me adapting old stories and putting them in the modern day is more interesting than taking old stories and making them for “modern audiences”

[The American Tribune @TAmTrib]

For all the people whining that critiques of Nolan's Odyssey are just chuds trying to stay mad about ancient texts being modernized...

Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet (1996) took a foundational text of Western society and updated it for modern audiences.

The cast was diverse to reflect inner-city gang rivalries which were making headlines at the time, and it was set in the heart of these troubles in Verona Beach.

Handguns were called "knives" and long guns called "swords". Everything was set against a totally contemporary backdrop. You'd think everyone would be up in arms and furious, right?

Wrong, it was generally well received by critics and home audiences. It earned $132.8 million in profits.

All because it kept the original spoken script of Shakespeare's play spoken by present-day people, and stayed true to the source material. It was an interesting take on a classic that had swag and didn't subvert the original for weirdo antisocial political agendas.

All you have to do is not fundamentally hate the story you're trying to tell (or the culture it comes from) while making a concerted effort to make it shittier. Make actual art and people will be just fine with it. Who knew?

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.

I prefer the more modernist retelling of The Odyssey

Allow me to introduce you to Lance Thomas, a watchmaker and repairer who owned a high-end store in Los Angeles.

From '89-92, he was in four shootouts with armed robbers, in which he killed a total of five and wounded one, while also being shot a total of five times.

One of the best pieces of scientific evidence that Jesus existed, was crucified, and resurrected from the dead is the Shroud of Turin.

If you are someone that wants physical evidence in order to believe in Jesus and His divinity, this thread is for you.

When I take Semax, time goes faster.

But the time also feels more controlled.

Highly recommend.

800 years ago, Italy had a city of skyscrapers — it's known as the "Manhattan of the Middle Ages".

So what happened to them all? 🧵
