Ça me fait toujours marrer les Tik Tok Kids qui disent « Aimer le Spider-Man de Tobey Maguire c'est de la nostalgie »
Alors que Sam Raimi nous a offert :
- Le meilleur traitement de la dépression dans un film de super-héros
- Les meilleurs antagonistes de Spider-Man
- La meilleure adaptation de la relation Peter / Tante May
- Le meilleur Oncle Ben
- Des scènes encore iconiques plus de 20 ans apr��s
- Le meilleur équilibre entre la vie de Peter et la vie de Spider-Man
- Des scènes qui ont défini le cinéma de super-héros avant même que le genre devienne une machine industrielle
Mettez un peu de respect sur les anciens !
"One man's idea. One man's trick to break Zeus's law forever. We lived in a world of palaces and trade, language, blind to its beauty, until we broke it"
Zendaya's Athena doesn't have more than five minutes of screentime in The Odyssey, but damn are they effective. The final reveal *why* her human form looks the way she does was utterly heartbreaking and the most emotionally resonant scene of the movie. Zendaya is simply terrific.
"My contention is that prior to the Trojan war, the political structures of the Greek kingdoms, especially in the island territories could most aptly be characterized as...
Ofc that's your contention. You're a young aristocrat who just finished listening to some wandering poet, probably that hack from Pylos. You'll be convinced of that until next month when you hear the bard from Sparta. Then you'll be taking about how the kingdoms of Mycenae and Thebes were models of divine rulership back in our grandfathers' time. That will last until next year when you're back to regurgitating Mentor's speeches about the sacred bonds between king and people and the divine right of succession.
"Well as a matter of fact I won't because Mentor completely overlooks the importance of...
"Mentor completely overlooks the importance of the council of elders in tempering royal authority, especially in matters of inheritance..." you got that from Halitherses' speech at last year's spring festival, right? Yeah, I heard that too. Were you going to plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or is that your thing. You come to a feast, quote some elder, and pawn it off as your own idea to impress Penelope and embarrass my son Telemachus?"
“You know what the best part of my day is? It's for about ten seconds from when I sail up to the island to when I get to your cave. Because I think maybe I'll get up there and I'll knock on the door and you won't be there... I don't know much, but I know that."
On the basis of the images made available to referee Raphael Claus, the decision to send off USA forward Folarin Balogun is understandable. From the vantage point presented, via slow motion and still images, the threshold of serious foul play is met.
This challenge did appear to endanger the safety of an opponent. Those ensconced in FIFA’s refereeing hub may see that as an open and shut case. Yet to most observers and many of those who have played the game, at any level at all, this was a miscarriage of justice.
To show the challenge to the referee at a different speed to the incident he originally adjudicated upon is to warp and distort the judgment, removing context from the call. Slowed down, an accidental collision can resemble a premeditated challenge. A bad challenge can become a horror challenge.
In the case of Balogun, the freeze frame and slow-motion images eliminated the essential context. This was a simple ball played forward by Antonee Robinson, where two players jostled for position, and as Bosnia and Herzegovina defender Tarik Muharemovic got in front of Balogun, the forward, off balance, landed in an unfortunate — but clearly unintentional manner — on the ankle of his opponent.
In football’s history, it has sometimes required major incidents at big international tournaments to accelerate change.
FIFA must use Balogun’s injustice as a line in the sand, ending once and for all the unfair and disfiguring use of slow-motion and freeze frames.
