The Odyssey is a nice example of the problem with every effort to "understand" Trumpers. There's nothing to "understand" here: this man has no idea what happens in Homer's epic, he's an arrogant dimwit with a made-up version in his head that he uses as an excuse to be weird and racist. That's it.

Matt Walsh complains that Nolan brought his obsession with nonlinear story telling to the Odyssey, undercutting the original's narrative. The defenders of western civilisation, folks.

Matt Walsh tweets: Nolan's obsessions with the non-linear storytelling gimmick really hurts this film. It jumps around so much, and spends so little time on any one particular moment or scene, that you never really feel like Odysseus is on an epic journey spanning many years. When he makes it home, you never feel like he's been gone for 20 years. The film does not capture the grandeur and scope of the original epic. That's why it feels rushed and too long simultaneously. The movie comes off like a rough draft. Nolan was searching for the actual story but never quite found it.

Theatrical distribution is good, and for people who really don’t see the difference between it and your tv, I have good news! It is coming your living room in a couple of months anyway. But if theaters go away, the movies WILL get worse, and I would really love it if people thought that part through

3) There are many $150 million movies that make a billion dollars in theaters, but there are no $150 million straight-to-Netflix movies making them a billion dollars worth of new subscribers. This behavior is temporary, and it’s very important that people understand that

My life has become a Far Side comic. I’ve chased this duck away from my pool a couple of times and he’s been sitting up there on my neighbor’s roof watching me all day. As soon as I go back in the house I know he’s gonna make a break for the pool.

The entire reason AI is being deployed in schools is to funnel money out of schools and into tech companies. Whatever reasons you've convinced yourself that AI edtech is necessary, regardless of how "useful" you think it is, it's sole purpose is to pad the pockets of the wealthy.
