“He suddenly felt that the very thing that was the source of his sufferings had become the source of his spiritual joy; that what had seemed insoluble while he was judging, blaming, and hating had become clear and simple when he forgave and loved.”

- Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Probably the only one. Will watch it again, though.

[Philotheo @Philotheo_]

This would unironically go very hard

The Odyssey by Wes Anderson

[Philotheo @Philotheo_]

Chris Nolan’s doom and gloom conception of human life is explained by his rejection of human nature. Of course one can’t believe in the transcendent when they’re first in denial of the immanent.

[John Demetry @JohnDemetry]

Do people really not get how inane a response to the sirens call this is?!?! LOL

Christopher Nolan is a filmmaker who does not even believe in pleasure.

@MovieDweller Net positive

Tocqueville predicted that America would convert to Catholicism.

[Jeremy Wayne Tate @JeremyTate41]

The College of Saint Joseph the Worker just purchased the masonic temple in Steubenville, Ohio, to transform it into a Catholic shrine.

@JoeSmith2327 Women are more programmed towards social cohesion. They tailor their thoughts, opinions, lifestyles, etc. towards what is currently socially acceptable. They can’t help the inclination.

[Philotheo @Philotheo_]

The irony of posing with the women. Drops the larp the second social cohesion/inclusion comes calling. Can’t escape biological programming.

[The Bugle Daily @TheBugleDaily1]

The women of The Odyssey pose on the red carpet.

@MovieDweller Not what Portent & Dread Inc. intended for this humiliation ritual! 😂

@MovieDweller How dare he ruin the CiNeMaTiC ExPeRiEnCe!

@megha_lilly Good choice!

Homer celebrates where Nolan desecrates…why so serious, Nolan?

[Walter @MovieDweller]

Homer has such a light, delicate, ethereal touch. And we get Nolan of all people!

[Walter @MovieDweller]

spiritual capitulation

@MovieDweller Ready for some Soul-Shocking Intimacy to galvanize the arts once more!

[Philotheo @Philotheo_]

@MovieDweller A real shame!

[Philotheo @Philotheo_]

The Odyssey is a tale of overcoming adversity. They turned it into a tale of surrender and cuckoldry. Which way, Western man?

[Philotheo @Philotheo_]

Nolan’s attempted coup of The Odyssey is good for the book and for our culture in the long run. A comparison to serve as reminder of what we’ve lost and where to find it!

[Jon Del Arroz | Sci-Fi And Fantasy @jondelarroz]

The cringiest changes in The Odyssey weren't the 3-minute cameos of Ellen Page and Lupita Nyong'o:

1. Odysseus at the beginning of the movie is nearly in tears and demands Penelope remarry if he doesn't make it back -- literally acting like a cuck, that was not the motivation here.
2. Penelope at the end of the movie gives a feminist rant about how she has the "experience" to be the monarch and the fact it has to be a male King leading is "stupid."
3. Odysseus spends the whole movie crying about the Trojan War and how "bad" it was and how it's bringing about the end of the Bronze Age and Greek civilization, which is complete nonsense.

There was no reason for any of this. It was just a complete rewrite that made zero sense in Greek culture. Christopher Nolan 2026 wokeified it.

@MovieDweller @StagsFilm @SpinninBackfist 💸💸💸

[Alberto Miguel Fernandez @AlbertoMiguelF5]

Instead of the "sacker of cities" and "far the best of all mortals in thought and words," Nolan reduces Odysseus to a traumatized, not very clever, self-hating boomer. This is a far greater - and intentional - mistake than some weird stunt casting.

[Morgoth @MorgothsReview]

They had to destroy the Odyssey because they didn’t want European men identifying with a man who gets lost then overcomes adversity and slaughters the raping tricksters and parasites who took over his home.

[Philotheo @Philotheo_]

This is actually a more intriguing image in the regular screen size lol…

[CineHub @Its_CineHub]

The difference 💔 #TheOdyssey

@MovieDweller Mexico has a rich history of ugly, subversive, malignant art. There are some wonderful exceptions but Frida Khalo sure ain’t one! It’s not racism, it’s a F A C T.
