Matt Damon says he used a female stunt double in The Odyssey
Just a shout out to John Leguizamo in The Odyssey as Eumaeus. He was one of the best elements of the movie, with the most emotional scenes and some funny ones only he could really deliver. Just a marvelous turn.
He had me at Tybalt. 💕
Mr. Leguizamo elevates EVERYTHING he appears in. He is the Sam Rockwell of John Leguizamos.
I fell in love with John’s acting in “To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar”. ❤️❤️❤️
Always remember him in To Wong Foo .... & of course, Julie Newmar crowned him the national Best!!
The look on his face when he realized Odysseus was therein in front of him and alive was so emotional
A consummate actor. That single scene in John Wick 1 where he rebukes Viggo's son stole the whole movie. A career of great performances. I hope he wins best supporting Oscar.
In the theater for The Odyssey and I wish Chris Nolan would light and color grade his movies better like what is even going on here
stella, you are a card. that's Moana
is that the wine dark sea? didn’t know it was a fuckin rosé
Linux Desktop Wallpaper: the Movie
That sea be wine dark
all that money for Imax and he didn't even edit the seats out?? smh my head
I guess you just don't "get it"
took the 13yo to see The Odyssey today, we loved it. it was very loud
the close-ups of the mouths must have really been something
Gonna see it in non IMAX 70mm this week. Pretty excited to see that big ol cyclops, Mr Noodle.
Three hours of Homer shouting over the sound of drowning rxtras
Inception loud or Dark Knight loud?
i understand ppl are disappointed that THE ODYSSEY is sexless but ask yourself some Qs first like: do i actually *want* to see christopher nolan try to make a sexy ODYSSEY? or: am i mentally capable of handling the discourse that would ensue if he depicted even just one Homeric sex scene accurately?
I don't think it has to be a flaw in Nolan's Odyssey but I do think we deserve a sexy Odyssey with Benny Hill music as the crew repeatedly runs away from whatever island they've just landed on
It’s one of many divergences from the text (like less overt portrayal of the gods) but I’m fine with all of them because, as you say, they wouldn’t work with Nolan.
The source material has two sexy witches, it shouldn't be that hard
that we moderns are nervous if not scandalized by feelings and actions ancients thought organic to life and indeed a link to divinity is really weird, if you’re a student of the source material
Look this being Nolan I can only assume it would involve Odysseus interrupting sex to comment on how Nobody sails the wine-dark seas like him.
Is Nolan *capable* of depicting sexuality? Finally watch(ing) OPPENHEIMER and it was bizarre to hear Oppenheimer the character being described as a womanizer when he seems utterly devoid of physical passion. (Not to mention the women characters do not behave like recognizable human beings.)
Why Aren’t There More Imax 70mm Screens for ‘The Odyssey’? variety.com/2026/film/ne...
this is perfect for Homer, absolutely love it sorry, all the design docs are in Linear B
Private sector incentives to preserve IP are few. Citizen Kane in-camera negative accidentally sent to silver recycling plant in 1970s. Old tapes and punch cards can’t be read. Mgt bonuses dictated by short-term outlook.
So we are literally, as a people, too stupid to understand the works or ancestors created? Not even "ancient ancestors", just like our parents and grandparents generation. That is a whole new level of stupid.
honestly “we’ve lost that technology” seems incredibly appropriate for Homer
A real life “We were in a cathedral together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer… 'We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.'"
My understanding is that imax theaters either need a palm pilot or an emulator because some of the controls were written for palm pilot for some reason
"created roughly half a century ago" my brain immediately thinks the 40s or 50s but it was the late 70s
tangentially related: when i worked at a movie theatre (2010-2014ish) we had an assistant manager who was a total nightmare personality, hated by everyone on staff including upper management, who kept his job entirely because he was the only guy who knew how to work the film imax projector.
A chorus of conservative critics, led by billionaire Elon Musk, have slammed “The Odyssey” as “woke” over Christopher Nolan’s casting choices—while Ben Shapiro has hailed it as a “masterpiece.”
As I saw someone else post, people know it’s fiction right? Mythology? It’s not real. Anybody can be cast. I just can’t process how much conservatives hate anyone who isn’t white and straight.
Elon Musk is not a “conservative”. He’s a white nationalist, white supremacist, basically a nazi. He supports far-right extremists and ideals which are disavowed by even some mainstream far-right parties. It’s time to stop using euphemisms to describe nazis like him.

Is there a conservative arts movement? Or just Gutfeld!?
Why does anyone give a rats ass what musk thinks?
They sure like their labels don't they?
The Odyssey's Critical And Box Office Success Has Completely Broken Online Chuds Who Forgot Twitter Isn't Real Life
Your daily reminder to both Chuds and Regular Terminally Online folks that the internet is not real. This is also a reminder that real marketing outside the internet yields real results.
And yet people are still posting screenshots of these chuds, now of them complaining they are cheated. The moral of the story is not give them any attention at all, and people can't seem to get this.
