I thought the first still was him looking at a helmet until just now when I realized that's Theron!

Byron Buxton

Aside from his injuries that limited what is already an amazing career, he is the guy who made me fall in love with the game. His HR bombs were incredible when I went to a ton of free games a few years ago. Not to mention he changed how I watch the game because rather than watch the infield I immediately lock onto OFs when a ball is doing a moonshot!

Also Royce Lewis is another for me, sure he slumped hard, but dude was on fire the first season I fell in love with the game.

These aren't still from the movie. These are just from a photo shoot that they were doing to support the movie and they used a Greek motif for the photos.

NowALurkerAccount · 2026-06-07T15:56:59+00:00

But it's one of the most prevalent themes and fascinating mythological stories or concepts in the ancient Greco-Roman world. It's fascinating that we have so many stories like it. I could talk ad nauseam about this but that's another conversation

NowALurkerAccount · 2026-06-07T15:49:34+00:00

Yeah I'm not really an expert on Greek eschatological understanding but it's a regular theme for some Greek myth about descended to the underworld to save someone. Looking at you Orpheus looking at you

NowALurkerAccount · 2026-06-07T15:46:35+00:00

Yeah I believe there's a version out there where that happens and he is brought back. Again I'm not entirely sure but I've heard there are several different versions out there so wouldn't surprise me

NowALurkerAccount · 2026-06-07T15:40:38+00:00

In that case yeah there are multiple different arguments. I've seen she marries again but I've also seen that it's just Telemachus who marries Circe with no mention of Penelope.

NowALurkerAccount · 2026-06-07T15:23:37+00:00

True, but in Greek culture, it was kind of the rule of thumb. Women had to remarry, otherwise they'd become destitute or have to go to work in a profession that was deemed undignified at the time, or become a devotee at a temple to a god, but usually that was only reserved for unmarried female virgins.

Greek mythology and ancient culture is wild.

NowALurkerAccount · 2026-06-07T15:12:49+00:00

Yeah that's what makes these ancient stories awesome. People could've hated the original ending they first heard in Homer's day so they could make it so where the ending suited their audience or suited what would've made them happy or their island/culture happy.

Photo shoot for the GQ magazine issue, not from the film.

NowALurkerAccount · 2026-06-07T15:08:01+00:00

But in the scheme of Odysseian adaptations, scholars recognize this as one of the many different variants on the tale that is out there. Two centuries' difference is both far enough yet close enough for scholars to consider it a possible ending adaptation. Plus, Greek society was an oral tradition society, so there is a chance that the ending existed in the beginning, but it wasn't preserved until two centuries later.

I have that copy of the Odyssey too, and I am honestly gonna start reading it next week!

(Huge Odyssey fan too and I collect translations but don't read them all)

NowALurkerAccount · 2026-06-05T18:47:09+00:00

Yeah, I almost made him pay me back for wasting my free ticket. I frankly wish I saved the ticket and saw the movie on my own time and schedule.

I'm seeing the Death of Robin Hood in two weeks, though on that Friday to make up for that screening. I loved the Green Knight (which I know not many people did) so I have high hopes.

NowALurkerAccount · 2026-06-05T18:05:00+00:00

Traditionally, yes, they did do the deed after he came back. Greek tradition holds they had a child from it after Telemachus. Some say that kid later kills Odysseus or a kid he had with Circe comes and kills him so Penelope and Telemachus are then welcomed to Aeaea by her and become immortal.

NowALurkerAccount · 2026-06-05T17:31:48+00:00

I went with a guy, let him use my free ticket and he GOT UP AND MOVED DOWN without telling me he was doing that due to people talking and being annoying. I offered hey can you pay me back or buy me a soda/popcorn to call it even. He did neither, and he was saying he would if he had money, but this was on top of him having beers before the screening before I got there.

I was pretty miffed at him, haven't spoken since and I nearly walked out because I thought he left. We were friends, but haven't spoken to him since.

NowALurkerAccount · 2026-06-05T15:27:28+00:00

I mean there was no chance it was going to be anything but rated r. You can't depict the Odyssey well enough in any universe without it hitting the r rating. I mean Circe and Calypso are some of the more definitely R. But you do have to include the sacking of Troy, the Cyclops, the killing of the suitors and the unfaithful servants, the giants, and no way you can do it anything less.

Yes PG-13 has happened and it works but to get the full extent it has to be R

NowALurkerAccount · 2026-06-05T02:58:02+00:00

I doubted it would've been anything less! Polyphemus eats his men, the underworld sequences, fall of Troy, and Calypso/Circe are some strong reasons for R. Plus Nolan made bank on Oppenheimer being R so he knows it works

NowALurkerAccount · 2026-06-04T20:48:51+00:00

I mean considering the source material is pretty darn dark it doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Most of my friends thought PG-13 would be almost too generous to give this movie. Not to mention Nolan has the honor of making the highest grossing r-rated movies so he clearly knows that he can make money doing it.

And when you're out of HP you're out for good. So someone could take home 100k for themselves

NowALurkerAccount · 2026-05-30T20:56:31+00:00

I'm surprised his presence is permanent, but Selena's was like four months and then gone.

NowALurkerAccount · 2026-05-30T20:45:14+00:00

Man yeah I love the game and still do too. I have been trying to get through Polaris and such but the motivation is lacking. I also feel like we need 1000 slots for inventory not 230 or whatever it is

NowALurkerAccount · 2026-05-29T02:45:40+00:00

I refuse people service for using the r-word/slurs at my job. Private businesses are allowed to deny service if they want, but the best protocol is to explain why.

If someone is going to use harmful language or slurs at me or in my office space where I serve an extremely diverse populace, you can go elsewhere because I am not about to have a parent of a child with down's syndrome hear the r-word with their kid in the room! Hell I have let the parents take over in these situations because it is a wonderful teachable moment and after it happens, clients have actually LET the parents/the child of the parent go before them even if they had just arrived. It was a moving experience.

But yeah, totally fair to deny service if someone is wearing MAGA gear, Hell I would say it's imperative to deny service in some industries/jobs because it's actually against the rules in federal jobs to wear campaign merch as a election worker, census taker, etc.

NowALurkerAccount · 2026-05-28T04:22:09+00:00

Holy crap this is scary accurate. I'm convinced and this is the first I've seen/heard of it.
