Nice Nerd

I love just about everything nerdy, but due to my nature have trouble branching out into new things. The result being that there are a few select things from multiple genres that I am very into, then much of the rest is ignored or not understood well....

Hazel Scott playing two pianos at the same damn time with ease

[erinbowbooks]

Hazel Scott was a musical sorcerer and a civil rights hero.   She:

 was admitted to Julliard at 8.  

was performing in top venues by 16.  

pioneered “swinging the classics” and made the equivalent of a million dollars a year doing it.  

was the first person of color to have their own national TV show.  

went to Hollywood but refused to be cast as a “singing maid.”  Demanded and got control over her casting, her wardrobe, and how footage featuring her was cut.  

refused to perform in segregated venues and led charges for integration in several northern cities, notably Spokane.  

She was brought down by the House Committee on Unamerican Activities, and has been largely forgotten.  But she was a sorcerer, and a hero.

ohhh my god I just fact-checked, Nolan actually DID cut the "Nobody" scene from his Odyssey movie. Mfer that is like cutting the Father reveal from Star Wars. Let me speak in a language you understand this is like not dressing Batman up in his suit. "It was not possible to work it in" the TikTok musical with a budget of $4 and a scratched Hamilton CD managed to work it in in SONG form, step up your FUCKING GAME

I got a free ticket to this movie and i have Thoughts (below the cut in case anyone??? Is worried about spoilers??)

They cut the gods. All of them. Odysseus is overtly sceptical of their existence and refers to them as "your gods" to his men. "But wait amme" you say "zendaya was cast as Athena!" Mmhm shes a hallucination of a Priestess he watches get beheaded at troy because War Is Hell

They merged the lotus eaters and calypso?? Like they don't visit the island of the lotus eaters at all but calypso is feeding him lotus for 7 years make it make sense

Because theyres no gods they dont visit Aeolis. They don't get the storm bag. All weather is #natural and its superstition that makes the men think Odysseus is cursed and not... poseidon having cursed him

They still visit the Laestrygonians though? Super briefly because they need to kill off 2 ships of men but like they did make it where normally they dont

They did circe so dirty like 0 nymphs just a lady living in a hutt on hill who they gave a sister that she turned into a bird and keeps in a cage because "we get on better this way"

Agamemnon always looks like the black knight from monty python got given a mohawk and i swear hes on a hoverbord in like 3 scenes

Also they dont have Odysseus kill the baby at troy like he mostly wanders in a War Is Hell daze taking no punishable action

For some reason they decided the horse was a gift to athena??? Not..... poseidon? For again 0 reason

And the most atrocious change of all: they got rid of the tree bed. The super romantic tree that Odysseus builds his and Penelope's bed into. The thing Penelope uses to identify him. The Bed. Is replaced. By a pin of athena that Penelope was wearing and gave to Odysseus right before he went to troy.

Skip Letterboxd this is the only review I need

[creekfiend]

gender essentialism is soooo funny bc it's like "this is what women are like" and you're like "I've met women and many of them, if not the majority, have not been like that" and it's like "well women SHOULD be like that" and you're like "why should women be like that" and its like "because that's what women are like"

Medieval people would absolutely love those myths about their everyday drinks. If only there really were that much ale and alcohol like springs flowing around...
