I see your perv director reference and raise you Vincent Gallo with Chloe Sevigny in Brown Bunny. Get on my level.

Is this the most ridiculous thread that has ever existed on the E board?

It's up there.

And "staff" is playing along.

Maybe Christopher Nolan has been secretly trying to bang Lupita N'wongo for a long time and this was the way to do it, like Spielberg did casting Kate Capshaw in Temple of Doom, except Lupita is actually a good actress.

In before the "at least Kate Capshaw is attractive" posts begin.



"Listen, Kate all you have to do is scream. That's it. Just scream for the entire 2 hour run time. Got it? And….action" / Spielberg probably

I don't really understand why people come to this board to do this, when they already have an entire forum for their topics.

Welcome to the internet. I follow a few subreddits and it never fails that, even on the most unrelated topic you can imagine, those lunatics will somehow start melting down about Trump and spewing just awful *****

After seeing how Premium and the football board act over trivial sports crap, I guess it's just human nature.

The Little Mermaid hit 13 pages.

Snow White hit 27 pages after it closed.

This is 50 pages before it even opens.

The Little Mermaid and Snow White are worse than this despite being fewer pages. At least with this movie, there was considerable interest. A bunch of men in their late 30s-50s arguing over the skin tone of fictional princesses in a movie geared towards little girls is an internet low.

Mermaid thread had about 2-3 pages of ugly racist posts reviewed in one day. I think it still supercedes this thread in pure hatred of a person playing a fictional character because of their physical appearance.

Saw the Nubian Helen coming. Did not see the trans Greek soldier coming. Oh well. Almost all legends crash and burn At some point. Nolan can go out casting Juicy Smolliettetee as Tom Cruise in his biopic

I'm extremely dismayed by the online reactions to the latest Nolan film. Sadly, some on this thread seem to have fallen for the internet "discourse."

I mean, look at the "ratios" here:

My point is, I really thought we'd be past this by now, given the progress over recent decades, including 2008. Are we regressing? It's just distressing to see all these reactions.

Those of us who understand how difficult it is to launch a big budget, sprawling Hollywood epic are appreciative, and I really hope many on Reddit / X and some posting here come around.

Found Kalshi, and really wish I hadn't.

In on "Not Winning Best Picture", Nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay, Damon nominated for Best Actor, Sebastian Stan not being nominated, and runtime moving under 2:50, which pays out the most.

As things stand right now your domestic in my opinion is a pretty solid guess as well as the total domestic and worldwide. Could always change but that's a good start.

Bold choice picking Sebastian Stan not to be nominated for the Odyssey considering he's not in the movie.

Saw the trailer in the theater again yesterday, and I'm excited for it. Nothing will change my mind about it.

No way Damon gets nominated for Best Actor. I love the guy but every role he is in that isn't modern day America he looks out of place.

May have been discussed - not digging through the thread. Are we R here for violence/gore? Tried to determine if I am comfortable taking my 14 year old without seeing it first.

I am in the exact same situation. Everything I have read and knowing Nolan's film history, indicates it is R because of violence/gore. But I have not seen anything definitive on that front. I am going to go ahead and plan to take my 14 year old with me on opening night

Yea, I probably have pause given Oppenheimer, but that was a unique story as well. If it is just Gladiator type violence, I'm probably good.

The MPAA rated it R for Violence and Some Lanugage.

Your 14 year old has seen and heard much worse than anything that will be in this movie.

I'd add that is not an attractive lady. You could land a 747 on her forehead. Landon Donovan is like "hey, I know a hair guy if you need one"

But maybe that was the real trojan horse. All of the soldiers were hiding in Helen of Troy's head, then it splits open like MTV's The Head.

While I'm very happy with the casting of Helen, one of the reasons I'm committed to supporting the film, If Nolan really wanted to be bold, he might have instead reclaimed the Odyssey's original status as a song. In ancient Greece, this was not a text - few members of its audience could read. It was performed. Sung.

Hate that the context of the video is missing, but assuming the obvious explanation is most likely here; that is just a brutal level of irony. Why would anyone want to give more time to someone who thinks and says things like that?

What happens when you give an inch.

Oh no! A woman wishes more of the story focused on the women in the story! The audacity! The gall! We must put her in her place immediately! And then mock her appearance in the process!
