I like the idea of Comcast buying 1000 fake tickets to the movie they distributed and sold tickets for just so they can leave good reviews for themselves on the site they own, which is just a review aggregator.
It was pretty good tbh. Just saw it in theater yesterday with my friend
You recommend it? I'm gonna see it anyway lol, but it looks like it's got that typical Nolan sheen to it of being gray and bleak, Agamemnon's armor looked like a ancient Greek batman larp, plus apparently skips over the cyclops/nobody moment? I wish he knew how to have some fun with things, but he's effectively Tim Burton'd himself into a kind of, now dated, sterile style
It's a cool idea to make Agamemnon such an imposing presence, but literally every time he appears he looks like some goofy plastic mannequin. The cyclops is also a cool visual since they made him far bigger than you'd assume, but the fact he looks like Mr frog's dad kinda ruined it.
Memetic cognito hazard below that will fuck with your ability to watch Nolan movies.

Someone pointed out to me how all Nolan movies do the "walk and talk" exposition dump as seen in other hacky media like The Westwing and now I can't unsee it. He basically handholds the audience through the entire movie, explaining everything while characters move from scene to scene, set to set. Since he has a ginormous Hollywood budget for special effects, it makes it seem like there's more substance to his films than there actually is. He tricks you into thinking good visuals means good dialog, plot, and acting, but he's actually giving a PowerPoint presentation.
It allows him to make movies that are excessively long, but since they constantly have new visuals to look at, it feels shorter than it is.
I dunno man in one of the Batmans he extrajudicially extradites a Chinese national using a rope tied to a plane in flight and that was dope as fuck. Or that shit where he made a bigass rotating hallway to put a fight scene in. I think he got tricked by a physicist into paying for supercomputers to calculate what black holes actually look like.
My other conspiracy is that Jonathan Nolan is secretly the heart in Christopher Nolan's films and the better rounded writer and artist. Without his brother I think Christopher gets lost in the technical sauce and lacks a deeper sense of humanity.
Meanwhile, all I know about Odyssey is that it was filmed in occupied Western Sahara.
It’s so funny to see reactionaries putting pins and strings between CEOs and corporations and their minds being blown about all the connections
They are like little babies. They don’t even understand the economic system they exist within
I know Nolan fanboys are diehard, but not “shelling out for 1,000 tickets” diehard.
Although I just realized, par for the course this is reactionaries doing some
as conservative authors/publishers/megadonors are notorious for using “gifted” copies of books to pad sales numbers and get their slop on the best sellers lists despite nobody reading them.
That having to buy a ticket to review a movie has been a thing for a few years now lmao
Sorry that, that was the only thing I noticed when reading this, I just really hate when people act like thats a new thing when its been the way to review movies on there for a while
Do they have an issue with a share holder throwing their weight around to bolster one of their investments?
What's funny is that these losers were cheerleading mass union-busting in the gaming industry and widespread shuttering of indie studios after acquisition by Microsoft. They love capitalism when it's putting the screws to the people who make their treats.
incarnate
it's true, the woke marxists have all the money in the world to do whatever they want, while poor capitalists suffer 😔
That subreddit had a regular who killed his dad over culture war bs
Yes they changed it so they could leave 1000 reviews as opposed to not changing it and writing 1,000,000 reviews, you are so smart.
It has to be a conspiracy, because otherwise it would mean I'm being a little pissbaby about a movie that I hate turning out to be popular, and obviously I can't accept that.
It's literally even more troopslop than Gladiator and they're still calling it woke?
Two words: Elliot Paige.
Jokes on them, I can't afford to go to the movies.
Can someone remind me why those losers don't like Christopher Nolan or The Odyssey (2026)? I thought they like whole Joker thing in The Dark Knight? What changed over the years?
because it cast a black woman as Helen of Troy
Thanks! I forgot how ludiciously simple they are with the culture war bullshit.
A lady that hatched from an egg, in the story
It doesn’t specify that it was an aryan egg
Nolan is a normie lib and it pisses them off that he still sells tickets despite being exposed as such
I just finished watching this video, it's basically agree.
make a new movie review site and start the cycle over, then sell out for billions!
