Would John Cusack as Nelson Rockefeller in a battle of wills with Mexican muralist Diego Rivera seal the deal? If not what about Susan Sarandon as socialite Jewish fascist Marguerita Sarfatti?

Look I’m right there with you. Bob Roberts kinda sucks but Cradle Will Rock owns bones There’s a whole subplot about Bill Murray sabotaging the WPA because they’re making him tutor a pair of shitty wannabe ventriloquists played by Tenacious D.

Especially when it’s about the production of a stage show called “The Cradle Will Rock” (Movie rules btw. Hank Azaria is haunted by the ghost of his dead wife and Bethold Brecht to write a pro union musical produced by Orson Welles)

You’ll never guess

i've heard about people getting desperate to find parking in downtown LA but this is a little much.

It was an early point of study at my school. I read mostly Fagels but occasionally I'd cross reference it with Lattimore as his was "the more accurate" and of course a few select cantos here and there in the original for Greek class. Haven't actually read Wilson's yet but I should.

like I said, it's a good translation, but there's another, equally good translation of "wily" or "clever" (the same word is commonly applied to Hermes for example), and another equally good translation of "wandering" or "lost", and both of those words definitely apply to even Nolan's Odysseus

worth it

nolan discourse time for a ducks baby lightbulbs meme

it's worth noting that "complicated" is wilson's word, not homer's. it's not a bad translation but the literal / clunky translation of the first line of the odyssey is "of the man to me sing, muse, of many turns" & how exactly to translate "πολύτροπον" has been vexing people for like 3000 years

this site has the juice

HOLLYWOOD EXEC: no no no. He might be a bit of a sex pest but we need to keep Jared Leto around for economic reasons. ME, LOOKING AT HIS IMDB: so like... Tron: Ares and The Haunted Mansion and Morbius were huge in China? HOLLYWOOD EXEC CLIMBING OUT OF FIFTH STORY WINDOW: oh yeah for sure man

stella you're not telling us about one important part of the motion picture: how were the babes?

!!! did they reopen?

someone just hearing about St Paul mayoral scandals?

yeah man fuck... *checks notes* The Odyssey

Fuckin rich for Boy George to write a pro Zionism song that starts with “you say genocide / I say war / after all that’s what the army’s for” when literally the first words of his first single are “War is stupid and people are stupid”

surprisingly successful internet search: "japanese city pop album with a guy looking at a beach" (the thing I was looking for was the LP "Summer Breeze" by Piper)

see if people who normally go to a privately owned grocery store instead switch their shopping habits to shop at a city owned grocery store, then the people who own the privately owned grocery stores will be happy because they get to keep more of their inventory & hire fewer people to stock shelves
