Greece is closer to Africa than Dallas is to Austin, but illiterate C students who barely skimmed the Cliff Notes version of The Odyssey in HS, who wouldn't be able to point out Greece on a map, and who fundamentally don't understand the concept of artistic license, are triggered
Every famous death in The Odyssey is the same crime.
The Trojan War? Started because a houseguest stole his host's wife. The cyclops? Blinded for eating his visitors. The suitors? Slaughtered for overstaying their welcome in another man's home.
Nolan read it correctly. Homer wrote 3,000 years ago about one thing: how you treat strangers decides whether civilization holds.
Here's why the Greeks were obsessed with it. Ancient Greece had no hotels, no cops, no ID. If you traveled anywhere, you knocked on a stranger's door and hoped.
So they made hospitality sacred. Feed the stranger. Give him a bed. Don't ask his name until after dinner. Zeus himself enforced the rule, and any beggar at your door might be a god in disguise. So you treated every stranger like a king.
Break the rule and the gods break you. That's the entire plot.
We still carry the proof in our mouths. Guest, host, and hostile all come from the same ancient word. A stranger at your door was always both things at once.
Nolan bet $250 million that after 3,000 years, we still need the reminder. $257 million opening weekend, his biggest ever, says he was right.
The Odyssey in IMAX vs. regular screens.
So much of the film is lost on a regular screen.
Nolan did a disservice to the majority of viewers who don't have access to IMAX.
Need an extended cut of The Odyssey where more weapons keep dropping from the ceiling for Pattinson to point out to the other suitors. “The nunchucks!! The Glock, get the Glock!”
"para los argentinos el fútbol es lo más grande que tenemos, es lo único en lo que podemos destacar"
Que país más patético y lamentable amigo, ya hasta me dieron lástima. A estos mononeuronales les quitas el fútbol y te queda Mozambique.
Let’s see the Thunder team if they were in the Grizzlies injury situation real quick
No Ja = No Shai
No Des = No JDub
No Smart = No Dort
No Adams = No Giddey
No BC = KWill
No DRose = No Cason
And also no Isaiah Joe/Luke and JWill/ Santi from time to time
Y’all would suck😭
Oklahoma City Thunder wanna claim that best, most exciting young core title so bad but it belongs to the Memphis Grizzlies and will always belong to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Memphis Grizzlies are your 2024-2025 NBA champs. We may have added 3 killers to our team. We wouldn’t have been able to find this out without the injuries. The injuries this year are gonna be a blessing in the long run!
GG Jackson & Vince Williams led all scorers tonight in the Memphis Grizzlies win against the Heat.
