Now that everyone is discussing Nolan's Odyssey movie, I feel like it's a good time to let non-Italians know that the production dumped plastic props into the Italian sea. Weirdly enough I could not find any article in English about it but it's a fucking problem nonetheless.

I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.

L'Odissea di Nolan tra "scheletri spazzatura" e relitti: Arpa al lavoro in Sicilia, che succede

Non è la prima volta che la produzione solleva un vespaio in Sicilia. A Lipari una squadra di sub sarebbe però già impegnata a bonificare i

They dumped plastic skeletons in environmentally protected areas, against the literal contracts they had to sign to get the permits to film in environmentally protected areas. Like they not only did a bad ecological thing that freaked out some divers, they literally broke environmental protection laws and their contract with the Italian government

They also filmed in illegally occupied territories in western sahara

Occasionally I see people(1) in the comments of posts(2) saying that if people are misunderstanding the OP(3), that must mean the post(4) was poorly phrased. But(5) it is nearly(6) impossible to phrase anything in a way that 100% of the audience(7) will understand(8). If most(9) responses indicate they understand the OP(3), the phrasing is probably(6) not the issue. At a certain point, you(10) have to learn to stop and consider whether your(10) first interpretation is the only or most reasonable interpretation. Trying to spell out(11) anything that anyone could possibly misunderstand quickly becomes unwieldy(12)

--

(1) By "people" I mean a variety of individuals from a variety of demographics. Some of these individuals may actually be bots, but I am working under the assumption that most individuals responding on Tumblr are human beings

(2) "Posts" can refer to text (or other media) posted on a variety of websites, but the fact that this commentary is being made on Tumblr implies that without additional qualifiers, "posts" refers primarily to Tumblr posts

(3) "Original Poster," used online to refer to the individual who started an individual post, thread, etc.

(4) The phrase "the post" now serves as a stand in for posts the OP(3) (in this case me) has seen where a person(1) has made the sort of commentary described here

(5) While not strictly grammatically correct, starting a sentence with "and" or "but" for emphasis is a common rhetorical flourish

(6) Note the qualifier

(7) See (1)

(8) "Understand" here means "interpret in the way the OP(3) intended"

(9) A hard number is not given here because there is no strict threshold, and there are many circumstances where fault is not cleanly divisible between OP(3) and the confused commenter(7)

(10) A general "you" is often used in informal writing as an equivalent of the pronoun "one" and does not address the reader as an individual, because it is not written with a specific individual in mind

(11) Metaphorically referring to explaining something in detail, not literal spelling of words

(12) See (1)-(12)
