Nobody wants to have this conversation but the actual way to break Joe Rogan’s power would be for the Nation of Islam to announce they’re open to white people

The best casting in The Odyssey is Travis Scott as a guy whose audience dies at the end

I think there’s probably some very human annoyance about how often people have erroneously said it’s a direct adaptation of her translation but as with so many cases a legitimate gripe slides into crank territory pretty easily

Saw some IBM PR spin that data centers are no different than room-sized computers in the 1940s and I’m not sure about “if it’s wrong why was IBM doing it in the 1940s” as a pitch

PIZZA HISTORIAN WATCHING “MYSTIC PIZZA”: I don’t even know where to begin. I would be ashamed to serve these pizzas.

Muttering “we get the world we deserve” like Colin Farrell in True Detective

Was listening to a montage of media being horrific about women’s bodies in the early 2000s and one of them was a Howard Stern sidekick saying “it would take all day to flip [Anna Nicole Smith] over” and I’m not even sure what that means, is he doing it in sections

Look it could be worse, it could specifically be the brand that decades of Republican messaging has associated with undeserving moochers

The part about the food looking unappetizing, yeah, the most food-intensive scene involves body horror and implied cannibalism

Noel saying things like "a fun age" about being eight is such an elder-millennial Rosetta stone

The problem with the Black best friend trope is that they have no interiority or motivations outside a white character, Eurylochus literally threatens Odysseus with mutiny!

Was wondering what Cillian Murphy had been up to outside the 28 Days Later-iverse and learned about this education drama where he looks like the demon in the mirror who tells JD Vance to skip meals

Coming back to this, I haven't read American Prometheus, so I don't know if Kitty Oppenheimer or others really suspected he was deliberately tanking his security hearing because he thought he deserved it, but that would be the most Catholic thing a Jewish person has done since Peter became pope

Thought it was weird that Paris isn't so much as namedropped in Nolan's Odyssey but I guess you can't have Odysseus going "oh fuck oh shit I invented violating sacred hospitality" when you acknowledge the war was started by a Trojan cucking his host on a diplomatic visit

That we have a perfectly good Thomas Crown Affair remake at home does not change the fact that Michael B. Jordan as Thomas Crown is going to be maybe the coolest motherfucker in any movie ever

Every character in The Godfather or The Sopranos, mostly because the people who understand them least are actual Mafia guys

People throughout the book keep going "Well, I'd like to see ol' Jesse Helms object to THIS compromise! (Helms easily objects to the compromise) Ah! Well, nevertheless"

(This thought inspired by noticing how every male actor in the The Shards adaptation kind of looks like Clavicular even by the standards of a Ryan Murphy show)

Has anyone drawn a line between the looksmaxxing stuff and the number of low-media-literacy young men who only know Patrick Bateman, already a dumbass magnet, from fancams of his opening monologue

that odyssey review was pretty funny but also kind of like if wes anderson did the iliad and someone went long on how everything looks like a diorama and the characters have a flat affect and there's a general named "Gen. Greek Tragedy" and like yes i understand that is a wes anderson movie correct
