I bought an old iPod shuffle from a thrift store and its previous owner never wiped the memory so now it’s a time capsule of all the music that meant the world to this person
For The Odyssey (2026), Christopher Nolan told Ludwig Göransson, "No orchestra," because they didn't exist in the Bronze Age, forcing him to instead record himself striking 35 bronze gongs, scrap metal, and air-conditioning units — creating a completely unheard, raw soundscape.
Christopher Nolan says they found a real Viking ship in Norway and had its actual crew join as extras and teach the cast how to sail it for “The Odyssey”
Q: “Everything was shot practically. These ships are actual ships. Where did you get them?”
Christopher Nolan: “Stavanger, Norway.”
“We found a Viking ship that had been built exactly according to those ancient specifications.”
Q: “When the ship is moving, are you on a different ship?”
Christopher Nolan: “No. I’m on the ship with everybody.”
“Odysseus’ men had to learn how to row.”
“They had to learn how to raise the sail.”
“The crew that sailed the ship became part of our movie crew.”
“The actors joined them.”
“They learned how to rig it, how to sail it, and how to row.”
“They were out there for months.”
This is a photo of a room I took with the Backrooms camera (Sony Cybershot DSC-S50) alongside the same room in a real estate photo. Really goes to show how yellow the camera can make things look

ONE COPY OF THIS MOVIE WEIGHS 384 KILOGRAMS
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey was shot entirely on IMAX film.
A single 70mm print is so massive that Cinemark had to show people how it even gets loaded into the projector.
- One print stretches 640,000 meters of physical film
- That same print weighs 384 kilograms, heavier than a grand piano
- The movie cost 375 million dollars to produce and market combined
- Only 41 theaters on the planet are built to run a copy this size
This is not a movie file. It is basically cargo.
