If I were Adrian you’d actually never hear the end of it. Just 24/7: “yeah my husband saved our species and met an alien. Yeah, me and the alien are bros. Also the planet they found the data to save the world with? Mhm, they named it after me. Yeah 💅” I would be unbearable.

I hope Adrian is as well. They deserve to be a diva fr

If THE modern translator of the OG Odyssey text wrote this about my film adaptation I’d kill myself

Emily Wilson you’re goated

[ladytharen]

She absolutely destroyed Nolan in this review O_O

"Without a tub of wax for my ears – which Himesh Patel’s ever anxious Eurylochus, Odysseus’s doomed right-hand man, uses to sail safely past the Sirens – I was exposed to the full din of thumping sticks, staffs, swords and clashing armour, thunderbolts, crashing waves, grunts, screams, toppling palaces and burning temples. But unlike Matt Damon, the wax-free Odysseus who is tied to the mast as he is conveyed past the Sirens (naked ladies reclining on some uncomfortable-looking rocks), I gazed at the shipwrecks and bloodbaths without any agony of emotion."

and

"There are more female characters than in most Nolan movies, thanks to the source material. But none of them has much to say, in contrast to the characterisations in the poem."

Well, that tracks for a Nolan film -

"The couple have no chemistry and nothing in common. Throughout his wanderings, the uxorious Odysseus clings to a little doll figure, intended to represent his wife (like the spinning top clutched by Leonardo di Caprio in Inception); the real woman is barely more interesting."

Yikes -

"If you’re not going to compose a script in Homeric Greek, or even in metrical English verse, you might as well use something like conversational American English. But writing dialogue is not one of Nolan’s talents. The language is relentlessly expository, humourless and flat."

The lines she calls out in this section will probably make a least a couple of my friends laugh incredulously -

"I was humbled to learn that Nolan has read at least the first line of my translation of The Odyssey into iambic pentameter. In at least one interview, he cited my version of the first line of the poem: ‘Tell me about a complicated man.’ But I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script."

....oh my GOD, EMILY -

"The most troubling ethical problem with Nolan’s Odyssey concerns the decision to film part of the movie in the occupied territory of Western Sahara, thus normalising the ongoing violence against the indigenous Sahrawi people. It is particularly galling that Nolan used this land simply as a visually striking backdrop for a film that centres, aggrandises and redeems the hero of a territorial war on account of his belated and partial acknowledgment of his own guilt."

And deepest respect that she didn't fail to mention the film's colonialism in production. You can tell she added the very last paragraph saying "'thanks for maybe getting people interested in classics" only because an editor begged her to say something - anything - nice about the movie.

Every thing I learn about this movie makes me both tired and angry about anglo-american colonialistic hollywood industry. And don't get me started about "details" like using FUCKING pants FOR GREEKS, who famously thought it was a characteristic of Barbarians, (who they thought were inferior btw)

ALSO where are the FUCKING COLORS??!! We're talking about the Mediterranean for fucks sake!! I've seen bts pictures with the sea sunny and vibrant blue, and THEN the actual scene in the movie is FUCKING GREY FILTER

The movie could have been set in the british islands for all I know

And the clothes!!! Everything is grey or brown!! The greeks!!! Famously wearing clothes with NO COLOR!! And with no patterns or accessories!! NO hairdos, no ribbons, no curly beards, no nothing! Everything is SO PLAIN and DULL and the armour looks like SHIT or straight out from 3d printed batman

And the statues!!! They look like cheap white cement!! Not marble!! And they're. Fucking. White!!!!!!!!! *screaming into the abyss*

And let's not talk about filming in protected areas, destroying natural sites and DUMPING tons of plastic SKELETONS on the sea, but they loaned a VIKING ship from a Swedish museum (A FUCKING VIKING SHIP I CAN'T) and they damaged it and they refused to pay a mere 6.000€ for the fucking materials of the reconstruction!! They're not even asking for the whole thing, just the fucking cost of the materials!!!

Everything about this movie makes me mad

And this is only image-wise. Narratively is even worse.

Like I get that usaians (or americans) have no concept of history like the rest of the world. Their country is funded on colonialism and if they learn about the history of the LAND they have to face it and that's a no-no for them. But hey, other countries have been invaded or have been the invaders and we still learn about the history of the land, not only the founding of the modern state. Why? Because History is the story of a consecutive list of different states or reigns or whatever in the same land (among other things)

So Mediterraneans learn about Phoenicians, Tartessos, Etruscans, Minoans, romans, greeks, celts, egyptians, etc. And among those cultures and societies that lasted centuries if not millenia, their clothes and art were not the same 1200 bce than 300 ce!!!

Imagine they made a movie set in ancient Egypt and they put medieval european ruffs on their characters!! (those uncomfortable looking white collars) and think "Naahh, what about it? A few centuries up or down, who cares?" We care!!!

Maybe for usaians history before the founding of their country is a vague monolitic thing and can't even fathom we have fucking active pubs and restaurants OLDER than their country. Hell, we have active acueducts and irrigation for our orchads that have been in use SINCE MORE THAN TWO (2) THOUSAND YEARS

Our history is rich and diverse and we acknowledge it and we don't think it started when a genocidal bastard "discovered" it. It's not our fault the average american know nothing about the history of their land and refuse to learn about those who lived before them, because at the end of the day their concept of history is inherently colonialistic and imperialistic.

So for those who lump everyone who thinks this movie is shit, no.

Some idiots rage about it bc some nonsense of being racially diverse (the Mediterranean!! oh god, someone pass me the salts!! Sacrilege!!) or have a trans person in it (oooh my fuuucking gooood, the famously binary Mediterranean, not like it's known as "Pot of Cultures Mediterranean")

The other part we rage about how they took an intrinsically greek myth we learn in fucking high school and made a FUCKING ABOMINATION, narratively, aesthetically and historically.

So no, we are not the same.

(Oh my god I'm so tired of this fucking movie.)

uhh guys wuju trailer just dropped

[vani-satur]

Making a (condensed) timeline for everyone confused about whats going on with Wuju:

-In 2023 Wuju was announced during BOC's 2023 project lineup,it was being made by the company Hanyang Studio -original trailer relased on boc youtube Chanel - Began filming in may of 2023 in Korea

-was announced to be releasing around march 2024

In March 2024 the date got pushed back, it had been fully filmed by this point (there's an error in the photo they meant second half of the year not of march)

-sos and boc call out hanyang had not been communicating with them about the progress of wuju (this was the second time sos had said there had been no communication)

-This was pretty much the last update we ever got from hanyang on wuju

-people constantly asked Jeff about the what was happening to Wuju, he always told people he didn't know and to stop asking about it but people kept asking anyway (a comment Jeff made at the red giant ep listening party on November 12 2025 after being asked about wuju bakery)

-for 2 years there was no update and then people started saying Hanyang went bankrupt so it was likely wuju would never be released

-in december 2025 there were rumors of a new company was posting casting for wuju: Cinema Upright / Studio Genie

-People started messaging the company asking for explanations

-Once these rumors started to circulate Jeff released a statement ( on the 13 feb 2026) saying he had no involvement with this new company and has not been reached out to

-The release date for april 10 was put up on Studio Genies website silently around this time

- 28th of March 2026 a collection of stills from wuju was published onto a site called watchapedia

-31st of March the trailer was dropped on to the site Wavve

-This is the latest update, there has not yet been any new statements from Jeff or the other cast as far as I am aware -This new company isn't related to hanyang, hanyang would have sold whatever assets they had and this new company bought the rights

-edit just saw this on twitter so i guess the cast have still not been contacted then 😭 (actor of Hachi, Raons friend)
