The Odyssey's final trailer (24 hours): 🟢38k likes 🔴123k dislikes I can't possibly image why… The Odyssey's final trailer has a disastrous ratio after 24 hours:

🟢 38k likes
🔴 123k dislikes

I can't possibly imagine why…

Classic example of "go woke, go broke" casting. Hollywood continues to desecrate Western classics with modern identity politics.10

> casting choices that do not match expectations of historical accuracy <

I’m feeling just the opposite. Last year I sent Universal Pictures an email. I suggested that the entire cast be made up of modern-day Munchkins. After all, it worked before.

My email was rudely ignored.

So I hope the movie fails. Universal Pictures deserves it.

Just watched the trailer. I’ve seen video games that look more realistic than the CGI in the movie.

Some people online say the characters sound too contemporary, while others question whether the casting fits the world of Homer’s ancient epic.

WHAT!

Are movie goers finally tired of Black people in 17th century European royal court dramas?

It can't be.

Can it be that people are at least educated enough to know (and care) that people in the 5th century BC didn't speak with 21 century AD idioms?

Can it be that people are finally tired enough of the Woke nonsense coming out of Hollywood that they are willing to publicly voice their ire?

I don't believe it, but I can hope.

Historical Accuracy?

Isn’t it fiction?

The first two Batman movies are among my favorite. He has made fantastic movies. Who the f wants to watch a confused lesbian be the hero of mythology?

(Of course it is to make sure he gets awards since every movie needs to have homos, trannies, and neighbors to get awards.)

The old time movie press agents used to have a maxim: “A knock is as good as a boost.”

In other words, there’s no such thing as bad publicity. You want everybody talking about your movie, it doesn’t really matter that much what they’re saying.

I think woke is required in a movie if they want to be considered for a best picture Oscar.

Matt Damon, 2019

“There’s going to be a huge Democratic field. I love Joe Biden and especially now, particularly with our institutions under such attack,”

““In California, we have Kamala Harris, who I think is absolutely brilliant and I would love to someday see her be the president of the United States and if that happened in 2020 — I’d be very happy with that too.”

Imagine the outrage if Nolan directed “The life of Shaka Zulu” with a White man as the main character.

Odyssey’s son says “my dad will be back” in the trailer... it’s going to be another costly flop.

Schlocking in the USA!

Anyone want to bet it’ll be on YouTube faster then the mandalorian and grogu?

OMG. Get a load of this...

The Odyssey review: Christopher Nolan's epic is a glorious cinematic experience and a triumph of both story-telling and movie-making... one viewing simply isn’t enough

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

98% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Waiting on the audience.
