I’m hysterically laughing at you clowns going on and on and on about a movie you haven’t seen, and don’t want to.

See, that's the part that you clearly don't understand. Or maybe you do, and you're just being a troll. People don't give a damn about the movie, itself. They care about Western Civilization. They care about a long cultural tradition, of which literature is a huge part, and of which the Odyssey is one of the most prominent works.

Some Hollywood a-hole, yet again, decides to piss all over a great work of literature, and to piss on all of the culture that it represents, to the point where an ENTIRE COUNTRY has objected to it as a matter of national pride, and we got soulless people such as yourself saying "Hurr durr it's just a movie, what's the big deal." That you could be on a conservative discussion board for so long, even filled with as much mushy-headed leftist indoctrination as you clearly are, and not understand the difference between objection to a movie as a deconstruction of society and culture at large and an objection the the quality of the movie, itself, is an amazing testament to the insidious mix of long-term subversive propaganda exposure and the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

But hey, you go on "laughing hysterically" at people who object to the theft and degradation of their cultural heritage. That's totally a normal, non-bug-eyed thing to do. Although I suspect that you haven't truly laughed in years.

Actually I understand entirely that you CANNOT spend HOURS complaining about a movie you don’t give a damn about. If you didn’t give a damn you wouldn’t be whining on this thread.

They’re not pissing on a work of literature. They’re making a movie. There’s an apocryphal story of an interviewer asking either Roger Zelazny or Stephen King about how Hollywood ruined one of their books (I actually think it was Zelazny, the book and movie being Damnation Alley and King referenced it later). And they answered the one true answer:
They didn’t ruin my book, the book’s right there. They ruined their movie, but my book is fine.

See even if ALL your complaints wind up accurate (even though we already know they aren’t), the book is fine.

What I understand is you guys get overly worked up about stupid stuff. And you do it over and over again. Every movie or book or TV show you don’t like is the NEXT GREAT CRISIS. And yet none of them are. None of them EVER are. None of them ever will be. Because it IS just a movie. And like all things is temporary. And a few years now only the big fans of it will care. And 3 months from now you’ll have moved on to the next hysterical whine. And I’ll still be laughing at you.

You’re not defending our cultural heritage. You’re inflating your self importance. And that’s ALWAYS hilarious.
