Malcolm gladwell did a podcast on how country music is uniquely vulnerable / emotional in a way that no other genre has ever really gotten close to, it was actually so true, even The Rolling Stones trying to do a country inspired ballad with “wild horses” doesn’t quite get there

This is why After Hours (1985) is by far the more thematically accurate adaptation of the Odyssey

[Gareth Harney @OptimoPrincipi]

Emily Wilson after watching the Odyssey:

‘The film presents an Odysseus who feels very bad about things that he's done in war, and is struggling to process them in a very modern, psychiatrised way – and needs drugs to do so! He seems to feel bad about being a warrior, and we never actually see him get to do much warrioring ... Nolan makes the protagonist a likeable, all-American hero; Homer's Odysseus wants glory, and he wants to get spoils from the sack of a city! I kept looking in vain for a sense that this was a film about glory. This is a film that has an interest in shame, but I don't think it has any interest in glory.’

lowk me if I had to write a male character not even gonna lie but I guess that’s my fault for reading Virginia Woolf before I ever contemplated whether men were ensouled much less whether they possessed interior lives

[kendall @filmbitten]

the concept of elliot page getting a better written role in a nolan movie because he transitioned to the gender nolan writes better roles for is actually killing me

[dying marxist @elenaferrante14]

people preaching the importance of communication are at least a bit wrong here because there’s a very obvious decent chuck of the population with pathological demand avoidance that is far more—need I say only?—responsive to passive aggressive non verbal cues than direct comms

you expect me to care about a lame ass premise like “the odyssey” when movies could be about the one night a year single people are legally allowed to have sex

[dying marxist @elenaferrante14]

the use of “hehehe” is really telling here

[🧡Shannon🧡 @killa_shannon]

Sydney Sweeney, girlfriend to Scooter Braun, has a Taylor Swift lyric on a pair of panties that her brand is selling: "but daddy I love him." And then she says it is one of her little sayings? Messy girl.

[Maid(evil) @MalloryMable]

I don't like it when the state has the power to kill people. I fact I'm pretty much always against killing people

[I'm five foot nine @7bBitters]

The existence of capital punishment is a moral abomination far in excess of the evil any individual can do. Every blow against it should be celebrated. It's existence negates the idea that the state can deliver justice, it is rotten to the core.

@flowrmeadow Wait what do you mean I thought it was very optimistic! The ending mainly but how it ties it all together that people are imperfect and relationships are imperfect but both are worth having

[dying marxist @elenaferrante14]

It’s against nature to have air conditioning—doesn’t mean it doesn’t hit which it absolutely does—but at what cost? to not only the environment but the plasticity of human neurology?

I think the most French trait about me is my belief that y’all doth complaineth too much about lack the of AC in Europe…like grow up or move to Dubai those are your choices ?

[tyler woodward @tyler02020202]

People adopting conservatism so they can pretend not having sex or enjoying their youth is a decision they made out of morality and not because they’re anti-social losers is by far the most annoying post-covid societal trend
