Christopher Nolan responds to rightwing bigots' backlash to his film "The Odyssey"

You're certainly shining the knobs of everyone who likes it.

By ignoring them? Right..

Ben saw the film moron.

You haven't. Hence you don't have any basis for shining those who liked it. Try to keep up.

Bullshit I don't. Everybody reads and posts reviews of people who have seen movies they haven't seen yet. This subforum is full of them. I'm no exception.

If you haven't see a movie, you have no idea how good/bad it is. But you've been posting nothing but positive reviews and even shining Shapiro for his. All without seeing it for yourself... while you criticize others for opining without seeing it.
But I know you don't see the hypocrisy. You never do.

I always post good reviews of movies, particularly ones that are getting predominantly glowing reviews. A movie that is not getting good reviews I don't even post about. And it also balances all the typically bad reviews posted here by MAGA incels.

Quote:"A group of movie critics saw Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey last week. They posted social media impressions about the film, all of which were uniformly positive. Now, we are on round 2, just a few days ahead of the The Odyssey’s official premiere this weekend, as a new invite-only preview has spawned yet another host of online takes, many of which are from the press.

Well, guess what? Like the first batch, they are unanimously glowing. Not just glowing, some are so over the top it’s almost hard to believe. Here is a sampling:

Austin Burke: “#TheOdyssey is an experience… Maybe THE experience of 2026. Nolan has crafted something monumental. While it’s an impressive spectacle, the performances are fantastic… A few of them are nomination locks.”

Stephen Ford: “the odyssey is the kinda movie where you find yourself completely forgetting you're even watching a movie. it felt like i was dreaming. a mythical nightmare that blends elements from all of nolan's films. so lucky to see this in theaters. i'm in awe that this movie even exists.”

Gene Park (Washington Post): “im absolutely speechless. what an experience.”

They go on like this indefinitely.

Quote:All without seeing it for yourself... while you criticize others for opining without seeing it.

I didn't criticize anyone who hasn't seen it. I simply dismissed their review.

I'm going to quit calling you retarded because I'm beginning to think you really are.

As usual, you always resort to insults. 9_9

Just quit continuously trying to catch me in some mistake and you'll be fine. Maybe take up a hobby to build your self-respect. They have day centers you can go to for that.
