@viscountofturen What are you some kind of psychiatrist?

[𝕭𝖆𝖈𝖈𝖍𝖚𝖘 @TheWineDaddy]

@SDeCasien Well said. The reason Troy is more forgivable than the Odyssey is because it’s more openly a cheesy sword and sandals epic, not a self-serious invocation of Homer. So all the chuds trying to defend scenes like the beach landing here are so out to lunch.

@namwalien THANK YOU. My poor friends have been having to hear me ramble about this point, and I’ve felt so lonely that no one gets it. It’s either the outmoded - “shame cultures don’t have guilt” idea or complete vacancy behind their eyes.

@Nasdorachi @RachelLeishman The problem is that everyone treats Interatellar like it’s some profound piece of art like Tarkovsky or Kubrick, but it’s trite and commercial Hollywood as usual.

[𝕭𝖆𝖈𝖈𝖍𝖚𝖘 @TheWineDaddy]

@sillylilghosty @TheCinesthetic Nolan borrows the authority of better thinkers, Homer, Thorne’s physics, Dylan Thomas, to launder trite, commercial ideas as profundity. His fans mistake structure for wisdom and think they’ve touched something deep. Marvel fans know what their films are. That’s the scandal.

@sillylilghosty @TheCinesthetic Interstellar is his worst film. It’s a perfect example of spectacle over content.

@bostonwriter This is the lamest thing I’ve ever seen.

@CinemaTweets1 People loved Interstellar and that was slop too, no?

@Grimezsz If only there some sort of social safety net…
Hmmm… perhaps a tech billionaire could invent something like that.

@Aella_Girl Are you able to sponsor visa applications for motivated applicants?

@kenzbenz777 Got my first shundo. Just an Onyx but I’m happy. 😅

@chancewars_91 It was a good movie, and I don’t love Denzel in general, but that that was a good casting decision. There isn’t as much of a fuss to be made because the casting made sense for everyone who wasn’t racist. With the Odyssey the movie looks pretentious and poorly conceived.

@kel93934 @HistoryBoomer You’re being a bit too kind to that third film, methinks.

[𝕭𝖆𝖈𝖈𝖍𝖚𝖘 @TheWineDaddy]

@HistoryBoomer Return of the King legitimately bastardized its source materially, and deserves more criticism than it gets nowadays. As for the so called hobbit trilogy, no way the Odyssey could be that bad.

@Aella_Girl I’m surprised to read this. Considering your interest in data science and statistics I’d expect you’d understand how much stronger genetics usually is in shaping a person. They are both relevant, but nature accounts for a higher portion of the variance in most traits.

@Knightly_Hist Wrong era. Still superior to the bizarre choices Nolan made, but these are classical hoplites, not Mycenaean warriors.

[𝕭𝖆𝖈𝖈𝖍𝖚𝖘 @TheWineDaddy]

@clairlemon Helen is a minor character, but an important one.
That doesn’t justify the racist yammering, but I do think it’s valid to criticize Nolan’s casting and costuming.

@popupipapo @Michael11674747 @AI_EmeraldApple Sorry, I didn’t realize that you’re blind and stupid.

[𝕭𝖆𝖈𝖈𝖍𝖚𝖘 @TheWineDaddy]

@GiancarloSopo @dpotter I kind of wish you’d pushed back on the framing of Oppenheimer as leftist kook there…
