Literary Classic check off for the new year! This is going to be so hecking epic like that biography movie book Nolan released in 2023 🀩

  • Saw the trailer, could finally check off Ulysses on Goodreads

    Edit: someone said it kinda covers the sequel Finnegan is awake too, double check

  • After seeing the trailer for this fucking movie, I am so utterly and completely, so profoundly and entirely, fucking uninterested in watching what will likely be a 3 and a half hour slog through a Hollywood bastardization of an iconic part of my childhood (I have fucking pretentious parents), full of the cleanest and most soulless fucking western actors I've seen a million times before, like a billion dollar circle jerk of Nolan's friends that will get the redditors salivating and will likely overlap with the release of another big movie because Hollywood marketing peons will be desperate to recreate the success of Barbenheimmer, which I'll likely be forced to watch so that I have enough fodder to fucking use in my campaigns of semi vitriolic arguments with yet more lowest common denominator brainrotted normies, that I'll be forced to watch win more pointless awards and pats on the back by the elites up on high deluding themselves into thinking that anyone gives a single flying fuck about any of them or their success anymore.

    The Janus-faced De Gustibus gremlin strikes again! I prefer the stringency of Bowles to proto-Sirk Lowry but I also prefer Nabokov's intricate scalpel-carvings (in teak and ebony) to Hemingway's axe-hewn, roadside, tourist town totems. People enjoying Lowry's work are still fine Book People ... unlike fans of __________.

    I'll use text-to-speech to listen your arguments if they're as angry as this and actually re@d them if they go full vitriolic.

  • The horse was a paid actor

  • Yeah this movie has amazing ludonarrative coherence nolan movies make me long for my home and are a slog to get through just like the odyssey. Oppenheimer

  • Bets on whether the movie will be better than bestselling author Madeline Miller’s retelling, Circe?

    Circe with Zendaya playing her πŸ€— And Tom Holland as Telemachus πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’• I pray that this doesn’t come to pass.

  • Is this the Robert Fagles translation I keep hearing about?

  • Finally, Nolan cracked the code! We made ancient Greek stories safe for the most boring MCU-pilled guy imaginable!

    Next it’s wuthering heights starring only the cast from Transformers!
