"People are making the same criticism of Odysseus in THE ODYSSEY as they did the title character in OPPENHEIMER, that's lazy." Yeah, maybe, *or* Nolan as directer has a preoccupation with the notion of The Great Man that shows up in a lot of his work, either overtly or as subtext.

People who think Emily Wilson is being mean have clearly never presented a paper at an academic conference

The ProShot of HADESTOWN briefly blowing through theaters right now is such an intimate, intense delight. It's half like watching the show, half like being in it. André De Shields makes a full-on meal just out of unbuttoning his jacket in the opening, and the audience couldn't be more on board.

It’s nice to see everyone’s textual analysis of The Odyssey It’s almost like the humanities give you entertainment, feelings, pleasure, and fun/interesting stuff to talk about, as well as lenses into both past and current society

“Tonight’s Presidential Hour of Hate is brought to you by the good people of General Motors. Whether you hate transgender kids or are just a garden variety white supremacist, GM is there for you!”

You gotta watch this just to see the movie the Lord put in his hand when he does the eyes-closed pick at the end. PRICELESS. youtu.be/ZCxYGx6ueNM?...

I went “Eyyyy” when Tânia Maria appeared (aka Dona Sebastiana in Secret Agent).

🤣🤣🤣

This piece of shit motherfucker is going to *fucking court* to argue that *making sure there are no health and safety violations* at the property *they fucking rent* is a fucking *unreasonable search*.

This is by far the most fascinating account on this app

We still have the cultural image that actual Nazis were defeated in the 1940's, and the remaining Nazis are either unemployed basement-dwellers or fringe militias in Idaho. There is still a reluctance by media and business leaders to say openly that the world's wealthiest person is a Nazi.

Watching BACURAU again before I hit the gym. I feel like not enough of you have seen it.

"Perhaps the film will persuade a few college administrators not to cut their literature, language and history departments. Nolan, who studied English at University College London . . . is doing his best to get the general public reading again, and I am grateful." www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Repurposed a Letterboxd essay I wrote last year about David Lynch’s THE STRAIGHT STORY, the passing of my father, and seeing American through its highways. Enjoy.
