“Inception: You love explaining Inception to others. And whenever someone says that they didn’t care for it, you say, ‘Oh, you just didn’t understand Inception. It’s such a complicated film!’ Well, it isn’t. It’s a dream within a dream. It really is that simple. Stop Nolan-splaining.“

"Tenet: You have great taste and tremendous intellectual acumen. That’s what it takes to appreciate the misunderstood brilliance that is Tenet, a work that proves that some films aren’t meant to be fully understood after the first, second, or seventh viewings."

Why didn't the eagles just fly Odysseus straight to Ithaca

TIL ‘cold mountain’ was an adaptation of homer’s ‘odyssey’

It’s the part of the service where they punish the introverts (the extended, director’s cut, Passing of the Peace)

Please be advised: requests to borrow "monk robes" for your musical theater productions tonight are not a legitimate use of the pastoral emergency phone line.

Again, what right wing Republicans and Democrats call "socialism" is the sort of regulated capitalism that was consensus for much of the 20th century. They pretend it's anti-market when really it's only anti-oligarchy
