I WATCHED THE ODYSSEY TODAY. LET’S SET THE SCENE. PICTURE ME, IN MY CINEMA SUNDAY BEST. A COMFORTABLE YET SENSIBLE JUMPER, ELASTIC WAISTBAND SWEATS, MINI BLANKET BECAUSE THE CINEMA IS COLD AS SHIT. FRONT OF THE PREMIER SECTION, *NOT* THE FRONT ROW, WHAT DO I LOOK LIKE, A WET BAG OF HUMAN HORSE SHIT TO THE FACE? ANYWAY. THERE I AM. PANTS-CLAD AND LOVING IT. IF SMUG WAS A MOTORCYCLE, IT JUST JUMPED OVER A FUCKING CANYON WITH A BIG GIANT RAINBOW FLAG ATTACHED TO THE BACK. PLUS CANNONS AND FIREWORKS. A BIG BUCKET OF KERNELSPLOSIONS *WITH CHURNED DAIRY PRODUCT* IN MY RIGHT HAND, CRUEL-AID BOTTLE THE SIZE OF MY FACE IN THE OTHER. SEAT F-15, FEELING LIKE A GODDAMN FIGHTER JET ABOUT TO RELEASE MAYHEM ON A MOTHERFUCKER. THREE HOURS OF PURE. FUCKING. CINEMATIC REALNESS. HUMAN CHRISTOPHER NOLAN. YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN. MOVIE REVIEW INBOUND THIS WEEK, BECAUSE I HAVE WORDS. LOTS OF THEM. BUT RIGHT NOW I’VE HAD TO ROLL MYSELF OUT OF THIS THEATRE AND BACK HOME BECAUSE I FINISHED AN ENTIRE BUCKET OF KERNELSPLOSIONS BY MYSELF.
I was #su8stances while watching it, so it felt like it went on for like eight hours, 8ut they were the 8est eight hours of my god damn life
I GOTTA KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ON IT.
a few of the myth discrepancies 8othered me, 8ut outside of that I was very pleased. often times movies that long leave in unnecessary scenes to 8ulk it up, 8ut I found everything was well done and held enough su8stance to keep in for the most part
I AGREE. IT’S A FAIRLY FAR CRY FROM THE SOURCE MATERIAL. THEN AGAIN, DOES IT *HAVE* TO REMAIN FAITHFUL? I THINK WHAT HE DID WITH IT WAS SMART GIVEN A MODERN AUDIENCE. ALSO, YOU’RE RIGHT. THE PACING WAS ACTUALLY DECENT. I’M NOT SURPRISED THOUGH. I’M A BIT OF A DIEHARD NOLAN FAN.
even the myth detractions weren’t too horri8le, just noticea8le to somepuppy who has read the original. I would soooo watch it again
IM THINKING OF A SEPARATE ABCC-ADJACENT SHOWING WHEN IT FINALLY GOES TO STREAM.
I WILL 8E THERE
IF YOU AREN’T, I WILL BE IN YOUR DMS TO DRAG YOU KICKING AND SCREAMING.
would 8e entirely fair
