Best interpretation of the Siren's Song I've ever heard:
"They sing to you about the things you can't ever have, but want most of all. And they show you that what you want most of all, is what you've already had."
Christopher Nolan is a talented, talented writer.

Wowow the Odyssey is absolutely amazing! Truly an epic film.
*spoilers below* (although it is a 3000 year old story lol)
Anne Hathaway’s performance is particularly memorable. The way she shows the delusional energy slipping through the cracks of Penelope’s noble facade is inspired. And the reunion dialogue with Odysseus will surely win her an Oscar.
I also loved Christopher Nolan’s framing of the first act through the view of Odysseus piecing together his memories on Calypso’s island as he stops eating the lotus flowers. Then it continued as we watched him live out the prophecy she shared with him before he left. Peak storycraft.
Robert Pattinson’s Antinous was a fantastic villain, smooth and sly at first, until he reveals his true colors and starts to make you hate him, so his eventual death by Odysseus’ hand is all the more satisfying.
And I can’t not mention the costuming, which was period appropriate yet told a story of its own.
So much more to mention, but just go see it yourselves!!

It’s looking like Soylent Green in Toronto today: hazy yellow smoke, dehumanization of the masses, haves and have nots.
Here’s a trailer for your enjoyment! https://youtu.be/qTsqrniHuhw?si=qNVyDn0UNkDbKLlx

@verafaye
one of my favorites
to calm my nervous system
while the smoke fills our lungs
it’s a weird sort of smell
it’s somewhat delicious because bonfire is a favorite scent
without a/c we are at the subject of the wind
and the wind speaks there’s fire

In 1998, Robin Williams, Annabella Sciorra, and Cuba Gooding, Jr. starred in a movie called, What Dreams May Come. It was a movie about what comes after death and how love can endure past death. It was about heaven. It was about hell. The audience sees through the eyes of Chris, a loving husband who died helping someone. His two children also died - leaving his wife, Annie, as the sole survivor of their family. Suffering from miserable desolation and emotional ruin for having her family ripped away from her, she passes and her soul is in a hell fashioned from the torture of her lost loved ones, the wretched hell she endured in life.
While in heaven, Chris learns where his wife is and embarks on a journey to save her. It’s a movie about everlasting love and hope where anything you can imagine can happen. In heaven, it’s like being in a forever oneiric dream state. In hell, it’s a forever nightmare. Here’s the trailer which is worth the watch.

@listen2mm.eth
Watching House of the Dragon and accidentally ended up on the “with ASL” version. S3E2 has no dialog for a minute or two so when the ASL guy showed up in the bottom corner I was so confused.
Bit odd aesthetically but cool they’re doing it I guess?
I’m back on the regular version now…
