Good Movies / The Odyessy (2026)
Last post by WingedSerpent - July 19, 2026, 07:02:57 PMThis was really good.
I'm not really going to rehash the plot here, but it pretty much follows the classic myth, with a bit of the Illiad thrown in. We do see the Trojan Horse and the destruction of Troy. But it covers probably everything you remember about it if you first read it in high school like I did.
I guess there's been plenty of standard internet outrage, about casting. I'm just going to say the two controversial ones aren't really in the movie enough to make a big deal about it.
I thought the visual design of many moments looked really good. It has some horror movie elements.
There is the Cyclops story, and the design of the creature is a bit uncanny. Still a very traditional design, but they elevate it a bit by having some of its features slanted. Making it almost look like birth defects instead of a natural creature.
Circe transforming Odysseus's men into pigs looks like something out of a body horror movie.
I'll say the one that disappointed me was Scyalla. Just a couple of worm like tentacles. It's hinted at that they might be attached to a larger creature, but we never see it.
SO, if you have a chance to see it, I'd recommend it.

Off Topic Discussion / Re: World Cup?
Last post by Rev. Powell - July 19, 2026, 07:02:09 PMArgentina did not seem classy. Glad my adopted team one. See you in 4 years, maybe the US will be more competitive then (though I doubt it).

Last post by zombie no.one - July 19, 2026, 06:28:16 PMthat was such an awkward game to watch... and no idea what Tom Cruise's speech was about? (far from the weirdest moment of the 'entertainment' though.)
Argentina players brawling after the final whistle was so scummy

Members of Quiet Riot, Great White, Ratt, Jetboy, L.A. Guns, and many more tell the sordid history of the L.A. glam metal scene in the 1980s. Lots of good stories accompanied by lots of rare photos and vintage video clips. A must watch for hair metal fans!
