In Troy (2004), Sean Bean's intro sequence as Odysseus was cut from the theatrical release.
Wolfgang Petersen removed it for pacing, but restored it in the director's cut.
It perfectly establishes Odysseus's cunning intellect before he ever sets foot in the Greek war council.

What an incredible film, going to see it again tomorrow to really absorb the small details, my first watch i had to just let it all wash over me and experience the spectacle of it
“What if the Odysseus you knew lost his way? What if...one night, in a strange city, he saw things that made him think the home he knew couldn't possibly be there anymore. What if…when he left the belly of the horse, and opened the gates of Troy, he saw ten years of rage pour into that city in one night?
We left them a gift, an offering of peace, that they took into their home. We violated all that's ever sacred between people. It turned a fight into a hunt.
To burn the walls of Troy was to burn the world-entire. Including his home.
What if he knew, that very night, as he walked through fires, anarchy, and pain—and in a daze of sweaty celebrations that follow—what if he knew exactly what he'd done?”
And Nolan is sure a great story teller, i can't want wait to see how he brings this cornerstone peice of western literature to life. Its going to be an absolute ride!
Man im so jacked up on history right now. Just finished refreshing myself on the Iliad and Odyssey with some audio lectures before I go see Nolan's Odyssey tonight and im just so freaking excited! There's few things I love more then getting to see history and myths come go life
It’s pretty wild to recall that not so long ago, DUNE was considered one of those doomed, unadaptable properties that might never get a film worthy of its scope and imagination. Now we’re at hyped up trilogy-capping adaptation of MESSIAH.
Last year, Microsoft made $101 billion in profits, got a $12.5 billion tax break from Trump & paid its CEO $96 million.
This year, it’s raising the price of an Xbox by $150 & eliminating 3,200 jobs.
Please don’t tell me corporate tax breaks create jobs. It never trickles down.
Thinking about doing a stream this weekend showing off the late game and giving some more of my thoughts, if your curious and don't mind some spoilers for the story, come check it out! Also you can subscribe to my YouTube to see when I'm going live ✌️

Still working my way through The Adventures of Elliot and im having a blast! Its a first attempt at a retro Zelda-like and other then a bit of bloat with some less then stellar side quests I think it does a great job invoking the feel of playing those older games 👍
