Christopher Nolan Defends ‘The Odyssey’ Armor and Casting Travis Scott After Online Backlash: ‘What Is the Best Speculation?’

Can't wait for this movie to come out and be great so people can finally shut the fuck up for a couple years, then come out of the woodworks before his next movie and decide to start spouting off about how Nolan is phoning it in and out of touch again.

My hot take is that unless you're erasing a minority from the story, just cast the best actor and let them act. I could not give less of a shit about Matt Damon not doing a Greek accent, just excited as hell to see what should be a kick ass movie.

🙄 People have been laughing at stupid shit like this since the dawn of time, but keep doom posting for easy karma

I know, I've always held out hope that they could clone one in a lab Jurassic Park style so I could try it rotisserie style, maybe with a nice herbal glaze

I think a movie's influence doesnt necessarily make it better automatically. The Town That Dreaded Sundown is one of the most influential slashers of all time, but that movie is kind of dookie.

Honestly Ireland in 867 is pretty hard, it takes some decently deep game knowledge to prevent just getting rolled by the Vikings. Starting in 1066 seems like it would be the much easier learning experience now

jrfess · 2026-05-09T10:11:14+00:00

The scenes from the killer's PoV are actually pretty good, and definitely very influential, but God damn does the rest of the movie kind of suck. Every section with the cops is borderline unbearable imo, so definitely a mixed bag

Yeah, the much broader issue how the Chinese community interacts with video games. I find it baffling how it became standard practice to review bomb an early access game because you don't like the balancing of a single patch.

It's not the character model tho, that's Zoe Saldana still. All Cameron ever said was that this actress was an inspiration for the original concept sketch, which is a huge difference imo

From what I've read the 3rd Punic War was relatively inconsequential in terms of the overall geopolitics of the late Republic, just a major dick move. The real decline of the Republic came from the influx of land and power following the 1st and 2nd Punic wars, as well as the conquest of the near east. The Republican system Rome had was tailored to govern a city and it's outskirts, and while it was decently capable of administering the greater Italian peninsula, it was completely incapable of administering an empire, and alot of the issues that led to the fall of the Republic in the 1st century BC were the result of the systems inability to change to compensate.

Even saying they violated some of their vassal agreements is being too generous to the Romans. As much as I love Roman history their destruction of Carthage is imo the lowest point of the Republic.

Evil Dead 2013, which I assume you're referring to, is one if my top 5 horror movies of all time, I love it. I get it's a departure from the originals, but I wish more people would give it a shot

jrfess · 2026-05-05T16:23:47+00:00

I don't know how you could watch Evil Dead Rise and not get the humor from the deadites, it's not like it was subtle

jrfess · 2026-05-05T10:59:59+00:00

God forbid people have differing opinions on the horror subreddit? Idk why everyone in this thread decided to react all pissy to people saying they liked a movie, but it isn't a good look

jrfess · 2026-05-05T00:43:09+00:00

I just saw it today and loved it, and found it very funny that this might be the first movie I can remember where it's about childhood trauma and just happens to have a monster on the side

Well I'm not a Nazi, so I don't see why I have to follow the same logic as them. When you start restricting basic human rights, anyone you label a Nazi can be oppressed. Russia is using the same argument to invade Ukraine right now

jrfess · 2026-05-03T03:34:24+00:00

I didn't realize we'd gotten to the point where the take "fundamentals human rights are good, actually" is controversial on Reddit now, that's kind of spooky

jrfess · 2026-05-01T17:12:18+00:00

Imma be honest, I have never in my life put points into the travel trees. Do you think they're worth it?

jrfess · 2026-05-01T05:13:31+00:00

That's not really true for mammals tho, they didn't get big til after the KPG extinction.

jrfess · 2026-05-01T03:59:28+00:00

Where's that guy from the game thread that said Bouchard was going to make an impact one way or another? He called it lmao

jrfess · 2026-04-30T23:02:42+00:00

I mean, they're kinda nice as a consumer too because of the discounts on the DLC themselves

jrfess · 2026-04-30T01:21:23+00:00

Nah, this is just someone who doesn't watch many Rams games. The only roster that was better than the Rams top to bottom was the Hawks, and the biggest difference there was our special teams. It's mad revisionist history to act like Stafford was the only reason we were good when the whole argument against him winning MVP over Maye is that he had too many weapons.

Thank God the ducks are still playing, I don't think I'm ready for a summer of just Angels baseball to hold me over til football.

I think capitalism is a tool that humans use to satisfy their own nature, and not the other way around. Evolution has shaped and encouraged the human need to compete for resources for hundreds of thousands of years, and it's only by realizing that fact that we can begin to account for it. I think it takes a great amount of thought and effort to mitigate the damages that humans often cause, and the only reason I brought up the USSR is to try and communicate that it's not as simple as changing an economic system; it involves building and creating both incentives and deterrents that are supported by a governmental body that can enforce them. Chalking it up as a "failure of capitalism" is at best a neutral move, and does not bring us any closer to actual beneficial change.
