re: New Trailer for The Odyssey. Update: some reviews are coming out now

Can you even name one though? Pre-transition Page was nominated for an academy award in Juno, starred in the x-men franchise, inception, starred in multiple movies every year.
I thought Umbrella Academy was good for a couple of seasons, and I think that one split her mental illness. Started as a girl on the show, ended pretending to be a boy.
I don't know if that's why the show flushed itself, as shows that have a lot of promise going quickly downhill seems to be a theme these days. And Taylor Sheridan isn't writing all of them.

I don't disagree; I said they're making money via public graft. On re-reading that sentence probably lacked clarity but that's what I meant.
I only took issue with him saying they're more corrupt than Biden. Like it or not, Trump's crew wouldn't be poor had he never run for office. Hunter would be in jail and Biden would be a greeter at Walmart, and that's without getting into his Weekend At Bernie's ruse of an administration.

Nolan is simply thumbing his nose at the public.
And it's his movie, if he wants to do that ok. It may still be a good movie, it might suck, I have no idea. I'll give it a shot on streaming unless it's Madame Web level garbage.
What I don't understand is people implying if not outright claiming that's not what he's doing. He wanted to be edgy with some of his casting choices and apparently the story itself and he's Christopher Nolan and he's got the pull to do that. He could have put aliens in it if he wanted.
But I seriously, seriously doubt anybody involved with this story was surprised that there were negative reactions to at least two of his casting choices. They wanted the controversy and probably discussed it at meetings & how best to respond and use it for publicity.

It just shows that I can read, and that I read the rest of her comments and didn't cherry pick one sentence. I find that to be quite convenient when forming a reasonable decision about what someone is trying to say.
You're obviously more comfortable ignoring what she actually said and would rather talk about me instead. What do you think that shows you to be?

That doesn’t strike me as the case here with Nolan. I get the feeling he was somewhat baffled by the reaction.
Then he's way, way detached from reality. A lot of artistic types are so maybe that's the case here.
And even if he is, I don't believe he could have had a meeting with more than 3 people and someone didn't bring up the fact that casting a 90lb tranny as a Greek warrior or a solid 5 black woman as Helen might generate some negative buzz. Even if Nolan's in his own world, the money people are not. They knew this would generate controversy and that's what they wanted.

And while I understand that the US is a representative republic, in this case that seems to be a distinction without a difference.
The only difference I see is that the representative republic has a dampening effect on this path over straight democracy, but it just delays the inevitable.

Hunter and Joe's corruption is nothing compared to Trump's
Eh, you might want to pump the brakes there. Like them or not Trump's crew can make money without government graft (which they are certainly doing) and are generally competent. Biden's crew couldn't run a 7/11.

There's some of that, but I don't think it's any stranger than the people who pretend that the controversy is CHUD astroturf. When filmmakers do this stuff they WANT the controversy, they want people talking about it. That's why they make the casting choices they make.

"When you read the Iliad and the Odyssey, very little time is spent from the perspective of the women. It's told from a very masculine side of things. The Odyssey takes a lot of time to really consider things from the female perspective.

What she said is not untrue. Very little time in the Odyssey is spent in the perspective of a woman. especially her character.
It's not untrue, it's just so obvious the only reason I can imagine she said it is as a complaint and something they needed to "correct." It would be like a man taking a role in The Handmaid's Tale and saying that it really didn't spend much time representing the patriarchy. No shite.

Is the Retrax the sliding top? If so, that’s not really an option for me because I don’t want to lose the space in the back of my truck.
That's why I got the Backflip, I already have a 5' bed and want to be able to take the whole thing out if I need to so I didn't want a toolbox or retractable. I don't know if "leaks" is the right word, because even if you got a perfect seal most pickup beds will leak through the tailgate seam or other holes, but there can typically be wet spots (not puddles) around the front and rear after a hard rain. I didn't fool with the drain tubes it came with so some of that is probably on me. I just got it for the cover part, as I carry stuff back there in a pvc duffle bag that's waterproof anyway.
I have seen people on forums get the flip style very nearly leak proof by adding foam, etc, I just never bothered with it. It rained pretty hard here last night, and I just went and looked and if there was any water that leaked in it's already evaporated.

Anyone with a functioning brain and semi-interest in movies could have told you any iteration of Supergirl would bomb at the box office. The movie was DOA.
I don't know if Supergirl is that marketable but I thought the first Wonder Woman did ok financially. I remember it being good enough to keep my interest, which is more than I can say for Aquaman or Cedric's Batman.
I think you can have a successful female superhero movie but you've still got to aim it at men, or at a bare minimum don't make it hostile towards them. If you want to make fun of men and pull in Gen Z females make another Barbie.
