Made the very silly decision to take two days off next month just to read a book coming out that I’m excited for.
The world is big and scary and exhausting and I’ve found that a kitten always makes things a little sweeter. I hope this helps!
I think (if you’re able to do so) more people should take a day or two off from work to read a book that they’re excited for.

Agamemnon showing up looking like a seven foot tall Darth Vader in his armor kicks ass & that’s what makes the movie great.

once again I would like to say that I think it’s ok to like something (a movie for example) that isn’t beat for beat taken from the original text (or the translated version) but inspired by it instead and also it’s okay to like both, nothing is stopping you from that
Not enough nerds on here talking about the fact that the end of Nolan’s Odyssey is the same as the end of Return of the King
For a movie that’s so epic in scale I didn’t expect the Odyssey to be so claustrophobic.

can we sometimes be asking "what qualifies this guy to speak on this subject?" or has that ship sailed
This was at a time before we really knew what we know now. Another friend of mine had a small HP tattoo and got it covered as soon as she could. You can’t easily or cover or remove a sleeve. I don’t care how much a franchise or characters mean to you - it’s a bad idea to do this.

The only taxidermied blue whale in the world, 1865 CE, now housed at the Natural History Museum in Sweden. The public was allowed to enter the whale up until a couple was found having sex inside it. Now the whale’s jaws are opened only for special occasions, such as Swedish election days.
There’s a woman who comes to my book club every month who I would describe (without really knowing her) as a suburban housewife type. When she first joined, she hated most of what we read because of how strange and different it was from her usual books…
Not to really lean into two things can be trueism but I think it’s possible to enjoy Nolan’s take on the Odyssey & also enjoy Wilson’s takedown of it. We don’t need to pick sides here or be mean about it.
