I enjoyed seeing The Odyssey! I liked the art direction and cinematography and acting particularly. But that being said, this critique by Emily Wilson is a fascinating read. I found I agreed with a lot of her points about the plot — to me, the meat — of the film. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Just because an author hasn't released a book in years doesn't mean that they're lazy or not working hard on their next one. There's so many reasons for a big gap between novels. Granted, in my case, it's because I'm lazy and not working particularly hard but I mean for others.
based on the trailer alone I don't think Chris Nolan even played Mario Odyssey

I enjoyed this retrospective look at the all-women Ghostbusters reboot. I was a teen when it came out and I'll never forget the row of little girls all sitting in front of me in the theatre. At the end, they stood up to dance and cheer with the credits. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ju...
