You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

Walking into the cinema to go see The Odyssey while carrying an LRB tote bag and a highlighted copy of Emily Wilson’s review. It impresses all the staff, and they offer me a free bag of popcorn. I refuse, as I pull out my container of Kimchi. Everyone stops what they’re doing and applauds
starting to worry I might have to make my own decision on whether or not I enjoyed something
I am remiss in not letting @darthbluesky.bsky.social know about the new addition to our household, Clover. She is a 4 month old mini schnauzer and she is obsessed with her older brother, Ollie.
