Why do you feel the need to stan so hard for this movie? You a Nolan bro?


I don’t. I haven’t seen it. I even questioned a very positive review in the main thread, saying I have no idea who the person is or why their opinion should be trusted.

However, I’m not stupid enough to fall for the right wing grift, which can’t be said for everyone on this board or in this thread.

THE ODYSSEY MARKETING IS… GAY Minimal effort on your part. There IS this video, which btw is accurate.


So what I said?

For obvious reasons I’ll leave it.
Just YouTube searched film threat and their videos about the odyssey. Here’s some of what I saw:

IS THE ODYSSEY FRAUDULENT STORYTELLING?
THE ODYSSEY TRAILER IS AN EPIC FAIL FOR CHRISTOPHER NOLAN
THE ODYSSEY MARKETING IS… GAY
CHRISTOPHER NOLAN MADE A HUGE MISSTEP WITH CASTING THE ODYSSEY
THE ODYSSEY IS SHAPING UP TO BE A BOX OFFICE DISASTER
ELON MUSK CALLS BS ON THE ODYSSEY CASTING



Just in case it helps anyone decide how seriously to take their review.
I'm excited for it, but I'm not sure who @GlobalBoxOffice is or why I should trust their review. :lol:
Wait, is his hair naturally brown? I just assumed it was dyed or something.

not what you said. you said they suspended the sentence TO favor the host country. you have no proof of this. maybe they just made the right decision BECAUSE it was the right decision.


You can’t possibly believe this.
Pretty nervous today. Not sure we can match our level against Paraguay.

I think you have it backwards. Achilles injuries mask themselves as calf strains until they become a catastrophic injury. I don't think calf injuries make you more likely to develop a new Achilles injury.


Well this made me feel bad.

Are England set to massively underperform for yet another World Cup?


Ehh. They could win this tournament.

Can’t say undisputedly, but I don’t hate the argument. You have to take how widely played the sport is into consideration, not just how dominant they were relative to their competition.

Ronaldo had an argument in 2014, and that’s about it.


I think his strongest argument would have been around 2018. Passed Messi in Champions Leagues, equal on ballon d’or’s, had the international trophy when Messi did not. To be clear, I would NOT have argued for him over Messi, but this is probably when his argument was strongest.

Sure, but still. . .


You aren’t wrong, but I guess I just expect plays to be deliberately silly and over the top.
Meh, if it’s a play I don’t give a frick. Nobody is going to consider it canon anyways.

Beautiful thing is it doesn't have to. One of the 2 teams will play in the final just like this game.


True. But thankfully they didn’t win it.

This is pretty damn easy. Scalpers have gobbled up most of the tickets and aren't booking rooms. Nobody is buying those expensive tickets and therefore not booking cross country travel without tickets



Yup, and by the time scalpers accept they're going to have to take a loss, it will be too late for many people to go.
Anything can happen in a game, but based on form, I feel very confident in saying Bubbles United is going down.

re: race/gender swap casting that worked

I'm so/so on the movie, but Jeffrey Wright was good as Gordon. I thought Judi Dench was a great M. Combining Wright and Bond, I liked him as Felix Leiter.

Generally I don't care if a character is race/gender swapped if it's not important to the character and doesn't feel like pandering.
I’ll be damned. It’s Xabi.


Best I’ve ever felt after a cup final defeat.
