.@ClayTravis thinks if Christopher Nolan had cast Zendaya as Helen of Troy, there would have been much less controversy.
But Hollywood seems to value making people mad over making great films.
Best historical epics this century:
1) Master and Commander
2) Apocalypto
3) The Northman
4) Gladiator
The Odyssey is somewhere well below these films on the list
Hey @ABC News. How can Sunny Hostin be your Senior Legal Correspondent and Analyst when she was caught on video unethically abusing her power to help her son escape accountability with police and lying about being a current federal prosecutor? The latter is a federal crime.
In “Apocalypto,” Mel Gibson transports you into the mind of a Mayan 500 years ago. In “The Northman,” Robert Eggers transports you into the mind of a Viking a thousand years ago. In “The Odyssey,” Christopher Nolan transports you into the mind of a liberal woman in 2017.
Just saw The Odyssey. Despite what you may have heard, literally all of the criticisms by conservatives were entirely correct. The movie is just as woke as you fear, if not more so. The DEI casting is atrocious. Completely takes you out of the story right from the beginning. But even worse than that is Nolan’s decision to turn Odysseus into an anachronistic whiney, solemn shell of a man plagued by “trauma” and guilt. It’s impossible to overlook these flaws because the film itself is not terribly entertaining or well constructed. For the most part it is disjointed, dull, self-serious, disenchanted, somehow feeling both verbose and overly rushed at the same time. The dialogue is some of the worst I’ve ever heard in a “critically acclaimed” film. “On the nose” and “clunky” are descriptions that can’t even begin to describe this script. At no point in the story does Nolan ever transport the audience to the ancient world. You never feel like you’re 3,000 years in the past. You feel like you’re watching modern Americans put on a pageant, because you are. Nobody would be calling this thing a masterpiece if it was made by a director not named Christopher Nolan.
Ferrán Torres, who scored the game winning goal at the World Cup, is wearing a “Make Spain Great Again” hat right now at the victory parade in Madrid.
This is amazing.
The media’s heads are going to explode 🤣
We’re proud to report that, thank God, and thankfully to the men and women of the FBI and our partners, we had no significant criminal attacks during this World Cup.
To put that in perspective, we had 6.5 million people attend the 78 matches in the U.S. across 11 venues.
Socialists aren't hypocrites. They're just liars. They are wealthy, privileged, downwardly-mobile losers who resent their father for being successful. So, they aim to destroy successful people and successful societies because that success reminds them of their loserdom.
Kimi K3 just fixed 15 critical security bugs that Codex and Fable refused because of “cyber guardrails.” There’s no reason to limit American models on tasks that Chinese models handle without issue. We’re only making ourselves less competitive.
