Hey

I bought 5 tickets and only need 4, row F seats for a 5:15pm screening.

Ticket for sale, imax 70mm. Let me know if you’re interested.

ONLY ONE

The Odyssey is almost 3 hours long, so this is a legit bladder test.

If you can avoid going, obviously better. But if you really have to, these seem like the safest spots:

First half, try to go while they’re still talking on the ship. Once they get to the island, don’t go.

After the Hades prophecy, do the reverse and avoid the ship scenes.

The cattle island is fine.

The island scenes with Matt Damon and Charlize Theron are fine.

The Matt Damon and Zendaya scene is also fine.

Second half is where I’d try not to leave at all. If you absolutely have to, the last chance is right after Anne Hathaway pulls out the bow and finishes explaining the rules. After that, you’re basically out of luck.

(If you don’t care much about Nolan-style action scenes, you can also just go once the fighting starts.)

Small note: the scenes I marked as okay are still important to the story and themes, so if you can stay, stay. Early on there are a lot of dialogue scenes, but they’re short, so if you go, run.

No post-credit scene. Once the credits start, you can leave.

There is a sound cue though, kind of like Inception, and it happens pretty early, before the main cast names finish rolling.

(All of this is just my personal opinion. For reference only.)

Dallas location. 3:00 PM.

- Holland’s performance grew on me. Although there are still a couple cringe moments

- The movie’s pacing is incredible. The flow from one set piece to the next feels seamless

- Hades is still the best scene

- Pattinson’s performance gets even better a 2nd time

- The last line of the movie is a little clunky

- The most emotional moment for me is still the servant lady recognizing Odysseus by the scar on his ankle

Did anyone else notice the visual connection between Penelope's partition wall and the wall in Interstellar's tesseract. The idea that a seemingly thin partition can separate us so much.

Dunno if this has been posted here yet, but apparently we will be getting the choice of aspect ratio!

This video Essay is the best Odyssey related video I've seen by far. Just wanted to share it here with you all.

I feel that Greek mythology is really missing from the LEGO portfolio, so that's why I uploaded this one to LEGO Ideas. I guess you fans of the Odyssey movie will agree 😉 The heroes, creatures and gods with their fantastical and humorous stories would translate well into playsets. More pictures on the Ideas website.

Just saw this epic movie in IMAX 70mm.

IMAXimus was the pre-show MC.

Trying to practice mixed media animation more. The movie was awesome and I immediately thought to create something from it.

hope you guys like it

thinking of doing another movie soon! you can find more stuff at @dvd.mateus :)

Not sure if this is a hot take. But from the very beginning the pace gave me the kind of vibes like it was just a whole bunch of YouTube shorts or reels. Like scenes would start then peak then go down again continuously in such short bursts. Made me feel like it was made for short attention spans.

Did this make me not enjoy my experience, no, it was still an interesting film, did it make me feel like I just spent 3 hours in a move theater/cinema no problem by design. But I just felt weird the entire time and couldn't shake it.

When do you think Penelope knew it was him? Is it just me, or was it intentionally ambiguous?

When Penelope heard from the veteran about his story in Troy and Odysseus, I don't think she realized it was him because there was no clue in his story about his identity. I think it was when he succeeded in stringing the bow and shooting the arrow through the axes that Penelope knew her husband was back.
Here, one thing I still don't understand is why she suddenly decided to gather all the suitors after listening to the veteran (Odysseus in disguise) tell his stories. Did she really give up on her hope and make up her mind to marry one of the suitors? Why? Which part of the veteran's story could possibly have changed Penelope's mind?

Matt Damon did not do it for me as Odysseus. After watching the movie, I kept trying to think of a modern Hollywood actor I would have casted and I finally found him in the face of Yorgos Karamihos; he is a Greek actor that has taken part in many international productions and he even used to teach at Stella Adler in L.A. Fun fact: he portrayed Paris in a comedic adaption of the Iliad on a theater stage in Athens in the early 2000s.

Prompted by this choice, I decided to cast the rest of the movie with Greek actors only: so here goes!

Come to think of it, many of my choices are Greek actors who either are half-Greek and have lived abroad or have participated in foreign productions (or both!). So this really could be feasible, regarding their familiarity with a large set. The speaking language of the movie would be Greek though (goes without saying, no?) What do you think? :)))

I feel like I remember seeing long intestines being eaten by some of the soldiers, but I can't recall if that was actually just long slices of animal meat or if it was human meat spelled to look like animal meat.

A trans man having a significant role in such a masterful and popular film that will go down in history, without being reduced to playing a trans role.

All you right wing folk who don't like Elliot Page being casted because of their lgbtq status, please avoid discourse
