@KylenMills Can someone explain why the team is throwing out the 1st pitch of an MLB game in the middle of the tournament??? Imagine Argentina doing that lol
Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ is INCREDIBLE.
I'm really blown away by this film. Everything from the flawless performances to the way Nolan embraces the supernatural is just perfect.
If you can, SEE IT IN @IMAX 70mm. It’s a jaw dropping experience.
It'll be great wherever you see it, but IMAX 70mm is the best option.
Watching THE ODYSSEY I thought to myself; is this how people felt while watching Seven Samurai, Lawrence of Arabia for the first time? A grand epic about the act of returning, pulse pounding, emotional, futuristic. Pattisions & Damon’s best performances. Loaded front to back.
Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of THE ODYSSEY is as epic as movies get with some of the most breathtaking set pieces he’s ever attempted. A colossal achievement of scale, even by Nolan’s standards, its commitment to capturing as much as possible in-camera using new IMAX cameras is a staggering technical feat worthy of this sprawling yet intimate story of one man’s journey to return home, the burden and consequences of leadership, and the eternal struggle between mortals and gods. Matt Damon’s screen command and glimpse into Odysseus’s soul brings waves of enormous power to a larger-than-life and complex role. Anne Hathaway turns in an equally powerful and emotional performance as the steadfast Penelope. And Tom Holland's coming-of-age portrayal of Telemachus signals an exciting new era in his evolving career as a leading man. The cast is massive but the supporting turns from Robert Pattinson, Himesh Patel, Samantha Morton, and John Leguizamo impressed me the most. Ludwig Göransson turns in another bold and memorable score that brings classical and modern music together into something wholly unique. And the soundscape is thunderous, knowing exactly how and when to dial the overwhelming sound back for maximum dramatic effect. I grew up loving grand, sword and action dramas such as “Gladiator,” “Braveheart,” “The Last Samurai,” and yes, even “Troy.” I’m beyond thrilled to say Nolan’s ambitious dissection of myth and legend looms large over them all. Whether you experience it in IMAX or a standard theater, this is the kind of filmmaking and storytelling that we rarely see anymore and deserves to be honored.
THE ODYSSEY is a staggering achievement. It boasts spectacular & even terrifying set pieces that feel like Christopher Nolan fully embracing the horrors of Greek mythology. Yet, how he tastefully recontextualizes the story for the modern day is what has kept my head buzzing (1/2)
Christopher Nolan's #TheOdyssey is an absolute triumph and a crowning cinematic achievement from one of the great filmmakers of our time. It feels like everything Nolan has been working toward with IMAX has culminated here. The production design is incredible, the action is breathtaking, and the scale is unlike anything he's done before.
What really surprised me is how much he embraces horror. Some of the film's biggest moments are genuinely unsettling, adding a whole new dimension to his filmmaking while never losing sight of the humanity at the story's core.
The cast is stacked, and somehow everyone still gets a chance to shine. Anne Hathaway is incredible, Matt Damon is excellent, and Tom Holland continues to prove he can do just about anything. But Robert Pattinson absolutely stole the show for me. He's so conniving, manipulative and endlessly entertaining to watch. Pattinson leans all the way into the character's villainy, and it results in one of my favorite performances of his. Look, it's the must-see cinematic event of the summer -- and quite possibly the year. I can't wait to watch it again.
US consumer sentiment points to further job market weakness:
The gap between consumers saying jobs are "plentiful" versus "hard to find" fell to just 2.4 points in June, the lowest since the 2020 pandemic.
Just 24.9% of consumers now say jobs are "plentiful," down from ~55.0% in 2022, while 22.5% say jobs are "hard to find," up from ~10.0% over the same period, and the highest since January 2021.
Historically, this measure has been one of the most reliable leading indicators of rising unemployment, and it now suggests the US unemployment rate could rise to as high as 6.0%, from the current 4.2%.
Meanwhile, the labor force participation rate, which measures the working-age population of those either employed or looking for a job, fell to 61.5% in June, the lowest since June 1976, excluding the pandemic period.
This comes as the labor force dropped -720,000 last month, to 169.36 million, the lowest since December 2024.
The job market is much weaker than headlines suggest.
