At first, I expected Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey to carry the breath of a new myth.

But after seeing the imagery suggested by the trailer, learning that Emily Wilson’s translation forms the foundation of the script, and watching the studio settle once again into its familiar zone of “safe” casting, that expectation faded.

What now comes into view is not a reawakened Homeric world, but an extension of the machinery modern Hollywood has been using for years:
time loops, psychological labyrinths, puzzle-box causality, wounded families — and IMAX spectacle arriving exactly on cue.

None of these things are inherently bad.
The problem is that they have become entirely predictable.

It is the inevitable product of a culture that no longer possesses the imaginative capacity to depict a true collision between gods and men, and therefore folds every myth back into the circuitry of personal trauma and temporal distortion.

It is another repetition of the same logic that compresses the ancient world into forms consumable by the Friday-night multiplex.

Wilson’s polished language becomes the skeleton of the script.
Studio-approved “safe” casting supplies the flesh.
And what finally emerges is a familiar Nolanian myth — a maze of time, psychology, and the unmistakable sense of having been here before.

Looking at that image, I suspect I will feel only this:

not that a new fire has been lit,
but that the fading afterglow of an older fire has begun flickering in another shape.

Not a new flame capable of illuminating the dark depths of myth.

(Perhaps you can already see the same image forming.)

染谷隆夫副学長（51.0%・1,107票）

現場の「過半数の支持」という政治的重みはデカいよ
まあ、DEIに傾斜してケンブリッジやハーバードのようにならないようにして

[東京大学文学部学生有志会議 @bungaku_renraku]

東大総長が藤垣裕子氏になったとのことですが、予想通りです。藤垣氏は、全候補の中で最後まで東大新聞の取材を拒否し続けた唯一の人物で、今までの選考プロセスの傾向に非常に合う。おそらく学生やメディアに対する強硬な態度というものが評価されている。

@GigaBeers I like a smile that's been around a bit.
Those little creases? That's just years of smiling.
I'd rather leave them be than buff them out.

Those little creases? That's just from living.
I'd rather people leave them be than buff them out.

Madonna doesn’t age gracefully because her whole brand is “look at me.” Sex. Shock. Youth. That’s it.

She’s 68 still in lingerie acting like it’s 1989. It’s not empowerment. It’s fear of becoming irrelevant.

Grow up or don’t. Just stop pretending we wanna see it.

UN chief Guterres slammed for ignoring Iranian regime executions in talk with President Pezeshkian.

UN Watch director Hillel Neuer wrote that, according to the official readout, “the Islamic regime’s slaughter of tens of thousands of civilian protesters was not discussed.”

[Q The Storm Rider @Q_TheStormRider]

WOAH 🚨 Secretary of State Marco Rubio CONFIRMS they have evidence that the mass protesters that come out for different protests like Anti-ICE, pro-Hamas and even the 2020 protests ARE ALL THE SAME PROTEST GROUPS

“There's nothing organic about it. It is funded, it is organized.” They just remake signs for each different protest

“They were the same people you saw on the streets burning things in 2020. They then flip it around and they become the pro-Hamas protesters, then they flip it around and within 48 hours of Maduro's arrest have pre-printed signs outside the courthouse demanding his release. Then they're out there doing the ICE stuff, attacking ICE agents.

There's nothing organic about it. It is funded, it is organized, and Cuba is a part of that network, and in some cases, a critical part of that network, and it's a network they will weaponize against us. And they talk about it openly, about how they will use that network to pressure American policymakers, not just here in the United States like Code Pink, but all over the world”

Here are just a few of the groups involved in the mass protest network. It’s so much bigger and organized than people realize

All of them should be arrested for intentionally setting up mass protests:

- Code Pink (CODEPINK)
- The People’s Forum
- National Network on Cuba
- ANSWER Coalition
- BreakThrough News
- Tricontinental Institute (Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research)
- National Lawyers Guild
- Pastors for Peace / IFCO
- Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)
- Black Alliance for Peace
- ICAP (Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples)
- Venceremos Brigade (historical)
- Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL)
- Workers World Party
- Freedom Road Socialist Organization

You should recognize a lot of these names because everything we have mass protests they are always filming and posting to platforms like Facebook

Now you know why they’re filming and posting. They’re literally paying for the protests and organizing them

FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING.

@billieeilish When humans shifted from hunter-gatherer to agricultural societies, average brain size dropped at least 10% — grain just doesn't hit like meat. Given she won't touch the stuff, her brain's probably closer to a Melogold than a human organ.
