					<description><![CDATA[Yep, Hubert, 100% aligned here. They made Odysseus a dweeb and that’s not right. But more there was more than enough to make it a fun watch regardless.

Circe in particular is fantastic. Not sure who that actress was but she rocked.

And to be clear, I am not optimistic on Drummond. But it’s August…]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I had fun watching the Odyssey because I expected it to suck way worse than it did. It’s rare that I can walk into a theatre with any kind of forgiveness so I go in like I do when I have to sing karaoke and I do enyas only time with all my heart and soul and hope for the best. It helped that my seat was bucking wildly and I was getting spit on by the bar in front of me during the sea voyages and I was getting kidney punched by dildos when they were sword fighting.

					<description><![CDATA[Interesting rant, Hubie. I got 70mm IMAX tix for 8/28 in Chicago and am waiting to see it then. My daughter was a classics major, possibly influenced by my constant interrogation of language at the dinner table (&quot;where do you think THAT word comes from?&quot;), so she won&#039;t see the film at all. My interest was more language than myth, so while I am worried for exactly the reason you say - Odysseus does not look like the crafty trickster from Homer but some grim PTSD vet - I&#039;ll entertain the idea and see what Nolan does with it. But even as a starting point, no, that&#039;s not The Odyssey, a surpassingly strange fantasia about a man so pleased with his cleverness that he often does unclever things. 

I thought &quot;Oppenheimer&quot; sucked, so the bar is low - give me visuals worth the 70mm and I&#039;ll be OK. But too bad he wasn&#039;t much interested in the actual source material.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hubert, I sent your rant to my sister, who literally just moved to Homer two weeks ago, and she wrote back: &quot;Yeah, Phil [&lt;em&gt;English prof&lt;/em&gt;] will probably feel the same; it’s not a new take. However, it was still a rollicking good time, and certain scenes (Cyclops, Circe) were worth the price of admission. Paul didn’t even fall asleep!&quot;

There&#039;s a price one pays for knowing too much. I actually have a similar problem/different focus, most often with mediocre action/comedy movies, who can&#039;t stop sticking sulphur-crested cockatoos in the Amazon jungle or European green lizards in deepest darkest Africa.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt; To say OG, KAT and Shammet didn’t have bizzarely outlying performances in the playoffs isn’t consistent with the record. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

I didn&#039;t.

I said we could have won the title without them having bizarrely outlying performances.

We weren&#039;t going to lose to the Sixers or Cavs, for instance, if OG only had a 2.0 bpm. We just would have beaten them in 6 or 7 close games instead of completely lopsided sweeps.

We don&#039;t need OG to post a 9.4 bpm to win the title. We need it to go 16-3 with a net rating of 15.5.

But the Pacers almost won a title with a net rating of 2.0. We can manage that with OG and KAT playing like they regularly do..]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt; Seems like an interesting film. How’s the rest of the trilogy? Do you need to watch all three to get the most outgoing of Dreams? Reading a brief description it sounds like more of a conceptual trilogy than one that shares a storyline&lt;/blockquote&gt;I haven’t watched the other two yet, and going to do so soon. Yes, it’s a conceptual trilogy. There’s something about the two Norwegian films and one series I watched recently, that they center directly on feelings and relationships inside a community or family but they’re not indie or provincial. Rather they have something American movies used to have for me, coming from a chaotic country, until a generation ago, a solid, safe world you always want to go back to. A sense of we are the center. I think it’s beautiful.]]></description>
