I'll raise you Crouching tiger hidden dragon as being better/cooler, but that one is among my favourites too. Always liked how heavy the impacts felt.

Me when the barber tries to cut my hair but I'm very ticklish.

In other news, it really speaks to how nonsensical the casting for this film is when you can walk down the street in Manhattan and spot dozens of random girls who would make for a great Helen.

I don't think those people even attempt the enter the industry any more. Hollywood has changed too much in the past decade or two... or we simply know too much about it. Probably a combination of both.

I recall Schwarzenegger writing in his biography that it was mostly naivete that led him to Hollywood. He said that would he have known everything he now knows about the industry he would probably have never even attempted to go there.

Unfortunately yes, he's now on the side of the UK police imprisoning people for mean tweets. Check his recent appearance on Triggernometry if you're curious. Disappointing. Regardless, there are much better scholars of Greek Mythology out there.

I doubt anyone thought the choice of lupita was dictated by a lack of beatiful blonde women :lollipop_grinning_sweat:

Maaaaan 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Gonna be serious for a moment though gents: while he/they is without a doubt mentally ill, I genuinely wonder what goes through "their" mind when they get ridiculed en masse by millions of people and then see all these videos about themselves. I mean, obviously they feel hurt and angry at the "-phobic®" masses, but if I were in their shoes, I'd probably dig a hole deep enough to disappear into out of pure shame and never come back out.


Yes, they have zero self-awareness, and yes, they come across as egotistical and narcissistic, but still… how exactly do they cope with that level of ridicule?

I almost feel bad for them, even if it's ultimately a self-inflicted wound.
 
Honestly, this shit can't get enough hate, glad people have finally woken up to it. Fucking bastardisation of my culture and history. Representation matters TM - except when the country in question is seen as white, in which case it's inherently multicultural.

Agreed. He was in some big stuff in the 2000s. I googled why. I dont know how accurate it is, but AI says he purposely chose private life and low key stuff than big Hollywood blockbusters. Might be a BS answer cobbled together from the net. Who knows.

That would make sense. I've only seen a couple of interviews, but he seemed pretty down to earth. I knew he was into cars and auto racing, so the Hollywood scene might not hold appeal to guy like that.

To start cutting themselves up and mutilate themselves they have to adopt the stance that everyone is transphobic and close-minded. It's their self-defence to justify their illness.

Like people who believe in lizard people and pinapple on pizza, they have to convince themselves that everyone else is dumb and wrong.

For her, it probably make sense that everyone hates her, because in her world she is a man and everyone is stupid but her.

Troy was great. I just hated how Orlando Bloom gets away at the end.

He played such a good beta in that movie. Everyone always says how much they hated his character.
He does redeem himself in some ways at the end, but he's been such a liability that no one agrees with him when he says they should burn the Trojan horse.
 
I timestamped the part where author of the translation is talking about it, of course you can guess how "problematic" earlier translations were...



Earlier in the video... I didn't know Mario was Latino, I always thought he was from Italy.

I'll have to wait to see how the Odyssey pans out (undoubtedly I'm gonna be sitting in am IMAX theater watching it, regardless of reviews) but I might agree. I put Villeneuve in the same bin that I put Nolan....pretty films, a lot of thought into their making, but the end result is more often than not lacking. It's like the best bread ingredients in the world but it didn't quite get the rise necessary. For me Nolan peaked with TDK, with his first Batman and Inception rounding out the pedestal. Most of the rest of his films just don't emotionally connect. Villeneuve has some very striking visual excellence, but none of his movies, other than maybe parts of sicario, really work for me. I RARELY rewatch any films from these guys, and that is a DAMNING thing because I rewatch lots of stuff.

I doubt their sense of shame and your sense of shame are comparable to begin with.

They live in their delusional lalaland.

That pineapple on pizza zInger was chef kiss, BRAVO :lollipop_squinting:
 
This feels like Concord: The Movie, where the product is utter garbage but it's still worth it for all the laughs.

Man, the memes being made about this film are probably more entertaining than the actual film will be! 😂

I was initially pretty excited for Nolan's Odyssey like over a year ago, but I've pretty much lost all enthusiasm for it now. I've liked most of Nolan's films (except for Tenet really), but nothing about Odyssey is appealing to me right now.
 
They tell everyone not to believe their own eyes or pay attention to their instincts. They tell you its racist to ask logical questions, that its art and doesn't need to be accurate. Funny how their concept of diversity only extends to Africans and gay people (with a small smattering of mentally-ill people like Ellen Page). Actual Greeks? No. Of course not.

If I was Greek I'd be very annoyed that Hollywood was using my the bedrock of my culture to play stupid political games.

Nolan peaked with The Prestige, and its been a long fucking time since that movie. $250,000,000 budget + $200,000,000 marketing + 50% cut to the movie theatre. This thing needs 750-800 million to break even. It's not happening.

A full Greek cast of unknowns would've been way better than what we got. This cast top to bottom is just horrible. Even Matt Damon. The fuck were they thinking?

What I loved about Apocalypto was full native cast + original language + original setting.

Say what you want about Gibson but no one else in Hollywood would have done this movie in this way. And the movie itself is also very good, I really liked it.

I can understand why Genghis Khan was played by a white actor in the 50/60, but 2026 movie not having native cast? Even better, using people from all around the world that have fuck to do with Greece?

It's possible. I'm not sure Matt Damon himself is a huge draw, the topic/setting is traditionally a hard sell (Gladiator 2 did 460 mill worldwide), and all I'm seeing is negative PR online, which ain't great. Obviously Oppenheimer was a pretty big rabbit to pull out of his hat, but I'm not sure how much that film will translate to this one, though I'm sure the PR machine will kick up in a few more weeks. 250mill budget, plus another 150 mill PR or so at least, and Universal has to clear 800 mill worldwide to break even. Certainly doable, but not a guarantee unless they get a nice clear 3-4 weeks at theaters to rule.

the flash only did $271.4 and that had a nb in it.

If Nolan (a British director) had made The Odyssey with an all-Greek cast and crew and the actors would all speak Ancient Greek, it would not qualify for the Oscars. Too white. So Greek actors aren't diverse, a North-American actor of Greek descent would certainly not be diverse, but if he'd go for South-American actors of Greek descent (like Mexican actress Sofía Lama Stamatiades or Argentinian actress Mónica Antonópulos) he'd immediately meet a diversity target. that's how ridiculous Hollywood's diversity rules are.

He should not give a fuck about Oscars in the first place.

Some people love recognition.

It's like corporations. You know when you see those lists of Best Managed companies and they receive an award or plaque?

That's because those companies were willing to be analyzed by that award giver or magazine as they get checked boxed yes or no and a score is tallied up.

If you dont see a big company on the list. It doesnt mean they are a bad company to work for. It might just means they dont give a shit about the award and dont want any of them snooping around their business. But some companies love getting brownie pts like a badge of honour assuming it attracts talent.

Everyone is cooking Nolan, he went full Bungie... You never go full Bungie.

Now I wonder if it's going to have a big impact at the box office. This movie will be the Marathon of Hollywood
