Intensely interested in everything. He/Him.
Here's director Christopher Nolan in this month's Sight and Sound (interviewed by Christopher Grayling) on the topic of Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey. The interview was conducted the night before the premiere and notably before her review came out. Seems pretty unequivocal:

Here's the full quote. Devastating. Not only betrays a lack of understanding of the batshit amount of work councillors do but is also in sharp contrast to Burnham who wants to devolve power to local councils because he knows from experience their capabilities.

Let’s do this but DVDs instead. My book answers would be embarrassing.

Ridiculous. Hopefully The Odyssey will turn things around for her.
DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · 2d agoSamantha Morton says she hasn’t had any work since filming ‘THE ODYSSEY’. “I’ve got really good agents & a manager, but at the end of the day, I’m 49. I do believe I’m a good actor, [but] there are other good actors out there.” (Source: @joshuahorowitz.bsky.social)
An ILL can't "admit" anything. Nate has lost it.
Nate Silver Tweets@natesilver538bot.bsky.social · 2d agoThis is an interesting admission from Claude, and it's consistent with my experience with it. It gets more stubborn and attached as the context window gets longer. Kind of like people as they age, arguably. Original post
I did not know this.
Jörg Hillebrand@gaghyogi49.bsky.social · 2d agoMany people were commenting on similarities between the latest #StarTrekSNW episode "The Griffin Incident" and the film "Event Horizon". A reminder: the #StarTrekVOY episode "Random Thoughts"➡️ featured three shots from the film ⬅️ which had debuted in cinemas only three months earlier...🤯
Immigrant Explains Difficulty Assimilating To Culture That Constantly Reboots Film Franchises
This is really depressing. Neko Case doesn't name names, and nor does she need to, but I believe her. If anything, she tends to be honest to a fault--this post illustrates exactly what I mean--and abso-fucking-lutely does not hold back (except for said dude's name). [ht: @rahnealexander.com]
IN WHAT FUCKING UNIVERSE?
This last week I was just cookin’ along minding my business when I suddenly found myself quite depressed.

Why do all of the Hollywood films this year star the same ten or twelve actors in different configurations? Florence Pugh is going to be in two blockbusters which open on the same day. It’s basically this but Anne Hathaway. youtu.be/QKJ6J8R087k?...

Fortunately I was listening to Debbie Gibson tunes and shit through the whole thing.
Cara Ellison@caraellison.bsky.social · 3d agonot that I don’t appreciate oasis and the nostalgic resurgence of britpop but their influence as a band is something I can’t detach from the massive amount of misogyny I experienced as a girl in the UK at the time, their fans really dug deep into total wanker behavior
God, yes please. Supermarkets keep putting prices up while their customers provide free labour.
Miles Grant@milesgrant.bsky.social · 4d agoWent to highwayside gas station for road trip grab & go dinner with kids & groaned aloud when I realized it was self-checkout - would’ve gone anywhere else Dems everywhere should copy this bill to require a 10% discount for self-checkout
Currently watching A Nightmare on Elm Street for the first time. I’m surprised by how little Freddy there is and how he’s just sniping from the dreams. His personality must develop across the series. No spoilers please.
The new Spider-Man is about the epidemic of male loneliness, which is an incredible choice and made me feel seen.
Dorian Lynskey@dorianlynskey.bsky.social · 4d agoIt's very impressive to me that The Devil Wears Prada 2 made close to $700m with a story that is almost entirely about the decline of the magazine industry. Shockingly relevant to my concerns but wouldn't have figured it as blockbuster fare.
