fascinated by how little some people are willing to engage with the idea of the odyssey depicting the gods as people as experience them, through acts of nature and coincidence not personification.

People also forget that Nicole Kidman has two kids with him, but she hasn't seen them in decades because, after they divorced and she left the cult, the kids stayed and were forbidden from speaking or seeing her, since she was labeled a suppressive person and enemy of the church as well. Those kids are full-grown adults in their 30s, and the last time she was seen with them publicly was in 2007. Allegedly, she has tried to reconcile with them, but I do believe they are still members of the church, so I do not think they are able to contact her. Tom doesn't even talk about his kids, and they are never seen together publicly. It is such a bizarre and fucked up situation.
Scientology is one of the most deranged cults, and Tom Cruise has completely destroyed his kids' lives because of it.
Adam Siao Him Fa thinks he’s Patrick Chan. Patrick Chan thinks he’s Kurt Browning. Kurt Browning thinks he’s Gene Kelly. Gene Kelly thinks nothing (he’s dead).
Here's my final word: both the success of the Nolan Odyssey and Emily Wilson's cranky review are good. They are signs of a somewhat healthy-adjacent public intellectual culture.
Having a guy who was in the biggest film series of all time and got paid jack shit for it is lowkey the guy you want in charge of making sure actors get a fair deal
I deeply miss the world before AI existed. I’m so exhausted from side eyeing videos, recoiling at tacky fonts, sepia tinted art, the messy blobs and blips of unmatched colors. It’s slowly sucking all the creative life out of the world while it physically destroys it.
I said this about Wuthering Heights and everyone got mad at me. Was it a good movie? Idk, that’s a matter of opinion, but the people who were screaming about how it wasn’t faithful to the book were being weird. Directors are not beholden to any other version of the story.
The toxic discourse around The Odyssey fundamentally sucks because any film by any director has no implied obligation to depict any story in any particular way. A guy decided to make a movie he wanted to make exactly how he wanted to make it.

This makes my stomach turn bcs wdym you have a man who stalks you for his job and he's done it so long that when another man stalks you, you feel safe with your og stalker. Like I can't fathom that being any everyday part of life
