what the hell is he even talking about here. in real life?

wilson reviews nolan's movie like she's reading the script as a translation of homer, & not as a movie, imo. like it is a piece of writing solely. sometimes the answers are in the sound, the score, the acting, the edit etc

it is funny and telling that they left fetterman's name out of the headline here

i really enjoyed the odyssey despite agreeing with a lot of emily wilson's criticisms of it (& finding nolan's overly-expository dialogue generally irksome) but she did go a bit angry video game nerd in her review there

'strategy games where if you take the time to play through the tutorial and do the things it tells you to do it inevitably fucks over your whole run' is my fav niche game genre

genuinely thought 'scrooge prequel' was a bit people were doing for a while there

my new favorite youtuber is this guy, who does a perfect 'tim heidecker in on cinema' but real somehow

i almost feel bad for ben shapiro, who has been trying to get the other culture war chuds to reverse course on the odyssey & claim it as a conservative movie. "it's about obeying god & honoring traditions!" sorry ben, your pals are fully unable to see past the minorities they do not like, no dice

a thing i suspect: nolan's portrayal of odysseus was informed by polybius' account of scipio aemilianus following the destruction of carthage

today's stream is happening Tomorrow! forgot to post this earlier. i have failed

this is one instance where i am sad that nothing musk promises ever actually happens, because i would genuinely love to see this attempted

it's a living

the US is that police officer who emptied his gun into his own car after getting spooked by an acorn falling out of a tree. the UK is the woman who put the cat in the bin

watching a bunch of culture war slop by people who obsess over youtube like/dislike ratios for movie trailers they don't like. "how are they seeing the dislikes, since yt made them private?" you might wonder, as i did. after minimal investigation it turns out they use an addon that makes them up

of the dodgy odyssey takes, 'odysseus is meant to be a stoic badass unaffected by war' probably winds me up the most. in the text the king of the phaeacians correctly guesses odysseus is a veteran of the trojan war because he keeps bursting into tears whenever anyone mentions it

"why does the UK change leaders so often?" there are diminishing returns wrt how long each vessel can house thatcher's spirit. by the end of the century we'll be getting through 1000 prime ministers a day

best of luck to the new starmer

always appreciated how the final boss of the odyssey after all the giants and monsters and magic and whatnot is just a bunch of rude guys

i've never succeeded at getting into the mindset of the weird culture war youtubers who obsess over box office returns, alleging wild conspiracies when projects they predict will flop actually succeed (or vice versa) very odd people

this is why NASA blows up all its rockets on the launchpad and elon musk is taking us to mars O wait hang on, the opposite. the opposite of that
