If there were no cameras, 6 days. If conditions were as they are today, 14 years.

Just saw it... lots to say:

Basically, it's like watching a video game for 3 hours and not in a good way. Think Assassin's Creed cut scene level of writing. By far, writing is the weakest part of this movie.

I know there's criticism about being true to the original but honestly, it's probably "too" true. The first hour is shockingly bad. In all honesty, I wouldn't have made it through 45 minutes if I were watching at home. Tom Holland is dreadful in this and he's present way too much near the beginning.

I know it's technically 'faithful' to switch back and forth between the storylines but it's too chaotic for a modern film. They needed to take their artistic license in structuring a plot, not in rewriting motivations and characters.

There's also no scene setting whatsoever. You're just thrust into random scenes and if you don't have at least a working knowledge of the source material, I don't know how you'd manage to figure out what the hell is going on for that first hour.

For all the noise about Helen, Lupida Nyong'o is actually one of the better parts of the filim. She and Hathaway were able to conjure something, at least, through the writing.

Movie gets significantly better after the Circe scene. It finishes quite well but man, that first hour is brutal. Anyone saying this is anything but an okay, 6.5/10 film is saying so only because they want to believe that.

I really thought this was one of those Indian AI fakes that try to get you to buy crypto. Had to go back and actually confirm this was the Fox stream :lol:

Two years ago I found a pint of Haagen Dasz cookie dough (GOAT btw) in my pantry, if that answers your question

I only lived in Alabama for five years and never had any issues with it for the most part. I never found myself "bored". I'm from Florida and now live in Georgia and there really isn't some massive difference between the three states and I've been to every corner of them all. Ubless you want to address size (Birmingham is smaller than Atlanta/Miami; the coastline is shorter than Florida's) but day to day life isn't radically different. Alabama isn't some uniquely terrible place people on the internet pretend it is. At times I wish I still lived there.

I've heard this nonsense my whole life. I have no explanation for it, but there's this weird slave morality in the Old South that desperately wants to keep it down. I don't understand it, but you can hear it in old country songs as well. It's a thing... a dying thing, but a thing.

Unfortunately it's objectively true

They're so damn in the tank for Belgium, it's insane

ETA: This is sarcasm btw... I mentioned TD and refs in another thread and I wanted to participate in the angry mob for once

Should've played in Houston and pretend the roof got stuck open

Les Miles is a really nice guy. I've met 7 SEC coaches over the years and he's the only one who struck me as an actual human being. Coaches are weird people
