I watched Boris Johnson in the Ukrainian Kill Zone doc on ch.5. He managed to dial down his "persona" and delivered a sobering view of the spirit and difficulties on the frontline there.

My take is that Emily Wilson has the problem many people do. She cannot stop reacting to the version of the movie she would have made instead of the version someone else made. She is a great translator. She's not a very good film critic.

Missing jigsaw piece: the (former) Nazi now runs a popular satirical website where Badenoch is treated as some sort of cross between Boudicca & Margaret Thatcher while Labour & even Reform are constantly mocked. So this whole sorry mess is just another symptom of her being terminally online.

Another glorious vindication of Kemi Badenoch’s impeccable political judgment. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

She’s just milking the attention at this point. She’s got nothing but the harshest criticism for Nolan’s Odyssey but thinks Troy was “fun”? If she was truly bothered by how Nolan deviated from the story, Troy would give her ptsd. She’s gotta be trolling.

Emily Wilson describes Wolf Petersen's 2004 Troy as “fun”.

Bloody ridiculous carryon with two louts and a "referee" bare knuckle, bare chested brawling on Belfast's High Street this evening in the middle of the Fleadgh. PSNI "spoke to them" and issued a slap on the wrist. I wonder what flag they march under?

Ukraine and the world have seen horrifying footage from Kherson today - a Russian drone hunting down a civilian. This person is Mr. Yurii, he sells vegetables. At about 6.30 a.m., Mr. Yurii was putting out the produce by the market, as he does every day⤵️

In the spirit of Zeus’ law, I’m honored to welcome Emily Wilson to the land of film criticism. As she’s learned, it’s an adventure that sails smack into islands of musky internet trolls and clashes with cinematic and literary titans. I'm here to broker a truce. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Yes, Emily Wilson, Odysseus has been changed for the movie. Deal with it

Critical swords are clashing, but there's a way to cut through the debate and really talk about how we review art.
