@ae_stallings @second_sailing She plays Penelope, but when Helen comes on she breaks the fourth wall and demands that part as well, since she is, after all, the most beautiful—possibly with a karate-chop dismissal of another muppet who was going to be Helen

I really want to see this movie
Movie pitch: a guy and his buddies try to get home from an IMAX showing of The Odyssey but take a wrong turn and get lost in New Jersey while the hero's wife is at home getting hit on by a bunch of horny guys whose party next door spills over into her back yard
Stephen Saperstein Frug (stephenfrug.bsky.social) retweeted
I think we should not forget the way ancient writers had fun with the Odyssey. I love the bit in Lucian's True Story where, in the underworld, the shade of Odysseus gives Lucian a note to take to Calypso, to say that he rather regretted not staying on the island with her!
@CathyYoung63 Arrested - see: Sang karaoke Divorced - see: tattoos Rode in ambulance - see: Proposals
@CathyYoung63 Finished reading a new one? Or have you translated it yourself?

If I'm being honest, I sort of hoped that being a talking ape on a floating space rock would be a bit more chill than this

Seinfeld’s Odyssey Jerry is stuck away from the apartment for 20 hours. Kramer invites Newman & other degenerates to Jerry’s to watch the Yankees. Elaine promises them she’ll kiss one but only after she finishes her everlasting gobstopper. George blinds himself with a penlight.
@mkazin @daveweigel Good choice except those are two lines
"Dishonest, ignorant, or insane" has been the question about a lot of people this century. It's the new "liar, lunatic, or lord" (except in this time it's a reasonable trichotomy, not a false one)
If you won't acknowledge that college faculties have been stacked against conservatives, you're dishonest, ignorant, or insane. You don't have to *be* a conservative--I'm certainly not one--to acknowledge this reality.
@mattyglesias Surprised you didn’t mention The Odyssey which is half of my twitter feed this week
@hecubian_devil We need to win in 4 months and in 2 years; getting more people to college is on a different time scale

Stephen Saperstein Frug (stephenfrug.bsky.social) retweeted
Casting Samuel L. Jackson as Medusa ruined The Odyssey for me. I have my doubts that Homer even wrote “I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on my motherfucking head!”
Stephen Saperstein Frug (stephenfrug.bsky.social) retweeted
The Odyssey is proof that "on my way" has never meant "be there soon"

Christopher Nolan expects audiences to believe this trip lasted 10 years

Sinopse de A Odisseia: "Jason Bourne perdeu-se no mar por anos. Sua esposa, Mulher-Gato, encontra-se desolada e está sendo cobiçada pelo Batman. O filho de Bourne, Homem-Aranha, foi procurar o pai com a ajuda do Justiceiro".
Stephen Saperstein Frug (stephenfrug.bsky.social) retweeted
i'm trying to read the odyssey before i watch the movie but this translation is weird as fuck 😭😭😭 should i just read the emily wilson one instead
Stephen Saperstein Frug (stephenfrug.bsky.social) retweeted
Do not laugh about this speech. It’s impossible to follow but he’s directly challenging our right to vote. The president of the United States is lying in order to wage war on our democracy and against the states. I don’t care your politics; everybody should be outraged.

the most confusing part of the odyssey is how this took 10 years
