Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey should have been spoken in the original Greek from the original Greek text. English subtitles only. Christopher Nolan is such a Hollywood sell-out.

Emily Wilson got “lost in translation.” Joyce Carol Oates gets it. Emily Wilson’s academic introduction and translation are both excellent, but it is tragic that she may be remembered as a petty, territorial, reactionary anti-movie movie reviewer. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Joyce Carol Oates Defends ‘Odyssey’ Against Translator’s Viral Slam: “Crude Language of MAGA Folks”The celebrated author weighs in on Christopher Nolan's film: “No reason why Nolan, or anyone else, should not re-imagine/re-envision a classical hero.”www.hollywoodreporter.com

If only the American legal system had a principle or a doctrine that took into account how people rely on promises and contractual expectations. Or the equities of balancing interests and expectations?

Add me to the Greek chorus praising Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey. Critiques of some of Nolan’s choices are fair, but it’s important to understand them as *choices*—deliberate, thoughtful, challenging. And Nolan’s re-interpretation - his thesis - is a bombshell. I use that word deliberately. 1/

How have Red Sox pulled off a 14 game win streak? Yes, it starts with the rotation and bullpen. But the difference is surprise offense: OPS since July 1: Contreras 1.243, Monasterio 1.116 Abreu .982 Cheng OBP .451 Durbin batting .300 June/July Masa Yoshida 15-42 (.357), 7 XBH, 8 RBIs since 6/25

The NL is so much stronger than the AL. Only one AL team has a winning% over .550 (Rays). Only LAD, MIL, ATL, TB & maybe the Phillies look like strong contenders right now. Seems like the Red Sox are missing a historic opportunity this year. Or maybe they are turning it around just in time?

Update: With the Swiss upset of Colombia, it’s no longer the South America region. How about the Hiding Nazis/Hiding Nazi Stolen Property region?

The World Cup looks like it is morphing into March Madness geographic regions: The Francais region (France vs Morocco) The North Germanic region (Norway v England) The Habsburg region (Spain v No Jinx but I’ll say they like Waffles) And likely South America (Argentina v Colombia)
