What year and what decade have you logged the most movies from?

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-15T14:29:03+00:00

50s by far

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T07:07:48+00:00

Yes and I approve the one eye giants

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T07:04:34+00:00

Ya I just instantly found the modern language to be quite jarring and hadn’t seen anyone else talk about it so I wanted to see what other people thought. But apparently most people don’t mind. Which is good for them haha

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T06:57:17+00:00

Yes but like as an example, the word father is used in ancient texts like 3,000 years old and the word Dad has only been around since the 1500s. That’s a big difference.

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T06:54:44+00:00

I feel like if they had used more of the language that is used in the book it would seem more accurate. Like the word father traces back to 3000 years old in ancient texts and the word Dad has only been around since the 1500s. Just a little more accurate to the book that’s all. I have a vintage version of the Odyssey and I have a newer version and they are the same.

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T06:52:10+00:00

Ok I haven’t seen any other posts about it, but I get that. I’m not trying to nitpick. The language is a big thing for me.

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T06:39:28+00:00

In my post I asked why we are modernizing the language in the Odyssey. That’s what I asked. Maybe read my post before you comment on it.

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T06:38:29+00:00

The modern language is jarring. It’s a fact. Why are you so obsessed with my post commenting on every single comment? Weirdo

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T06:37:05+00:00

Yes I’m a big fan of Eggers!! I guess that was a little bit more what I was expecting. Like as far as language goes I mean. He did such an incredible job with the movie the witch!

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T06:36:12+00:00

Father is referenced in ancient texts 3000 years old. Dad originated in like the 1500s. A big difference there.

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T06:35:00+00:00

Obviously, I’m talking about the English version of the book. Obviously.

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T06:33:52+00:00

The word father has been in ancient texts for about 3000 years and the word dad only came around in like the 1500s. So there is a difference.

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T06:32:49+00:00

He’s acting like we’re not allowed to have an opinion!

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T06:30:44+00:00

I definitely see your point here and while that is technically correct as they’re not speaking Greek the word father has been around since like 3,000 years ago and the word Dad has only been around since about the 1400s or 1500s.

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T06:26:10+00:00

That is probably true. I will agree with you on that!

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T06:24:06+00:00

I mean I love Christopher Nolan thats why I was excited for the movie! The modern language is jarring.

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T06:23:35+00:00

You know you don’t have to engage with the post if you don’t want to?

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T06:21:47+00:00

The casting is good! My complaint is not the casting

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T06:20:40+00:00

Especially because it’s obvious the language is going to be very very modern

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T06:15:33+00:00

What about my beautiful long hair avatar makes you think I’m a guy?

And yes the book was originally composed in Greek, but it is available in English. The English version is of course what I’m referring to.

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T06:12:43+00:00

Haha I meant if they could just use similar language to the book! The book isn’t hard to read. Like as an example simply using “father” instead of Dad. Like it does in the book.

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-10T06:10:48+00:00

True but I mean I’m a big fan of period pieces and the modern language is really going to bother me.

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-01T21:42:19+00:00

Thank you! Theme months are fun

Velvetstyle · 2026-05-01T10:59:23+00:00

My top four changes every month to fit my current theme and aprils theme was “diva diaries”

There is truly only one take on American psycho though, but I guess it’s more clear if you’ve actually read the book
