There need to be consequences for misrepresentation of historical accounts.

The threads are getting more and more desperate and incongruous as the anti-woke campaign has failed on the opening weekend.

The last three pages of this thread have been most enjoyable to read. This is excellent. Continue. :bow:

It's a tongue in cheek action movie set in Russia in the 80's. The cinematography looks great and it looks like it will be a good time. Branagh and Reynolds seem like a fun pair in this setting. I'll look forward to it and watch it happily.

Is there anything on anyone stopping Mel Gibson, the Daily Wire, Paramount or WB owned by Ellison, or Elon Musk from making the Odyssey? No issue with copyright- is there an unseen force stopping any right winger from making their own perfect version?

I think the mistake was made when they made the character an irreverent drunken a-hole. I don't think the movie failed because it was woke, I think it failed because it was badly wriitten and directed. There's nothing wrong with being pretty and nice to look at. The best version of Supergirl thus far has been from the Timmverse Superman and Justice League Unlimited animated universe. They should have used that for the template.

Episode 7 was fantastic. Spoiler Alert- I actually kind of choked up a little bit when Marcus cut the candle..

And yet here's the reality.










It's almost as if everything she said is validated by people like you.

I really liked immortals as well. I think the story was a bit convoluted but nevertheless enjoyable. The director was obviously a fan of 300 as some of the settings and shots were gorgeous and very artistically inspired. i thought Luke Evans was a little young for Zeus and lacked the necessary gravitas but also how beautiful was Frieda Pinto. Even though it was an invention of the film the Epirus Bow was kind of cool.

In prepping for Nolan's The Odyssey I have been watching all movies about Greek myths and heroes lately. Some I haven't seen in 20 years or more and some about 5 years. I'll hopefully get them all in before the release date. Add any that I might have missed. Roman themed movies are NOT in the rotation although those featuring Greek heroes may be allowed.

I started with animation and moved on to film.
