    I get it and also don't like to slap a superficial score on a powerful piece of art. But it also helps me remember what I thought of a movie that I watched 6 years ago and have totally forgotten so it can be handy for that. That's the main benefit of the app for me.

    I get that to some degree but If I need a number to remember what I thought of a movie that to me says what I thought of the movie. You can ask me any movie right now over the past 25 years what I thought about it or if it drew an emotional reaction and how I would be able to tell you. Would I be able to tell you exactly how the movie went or what have you ? not always most of the time yes. If a movie is so forgettable I need a number to know what I thought then to me it wasnt worth it

    Well I'm a geezer stoner so do doubt your memory is better than mine.

    Also I probably watch alot more movies than you (not a brag) and I need to keep track of what I thought when it comes time for me to rank films for my year-by-year project. No way I'm gonna remember exactly what I thought of all movies I watched over a 6 month period when I was deep diving 1944 for instance;

    I dont really value ranking or hiearchy of films as much year to year. Awards. I just know what movies evoked an emotion and which didnt. Where exactly they fall of best to worst and those debates are same as which albums , games or whatever were the best debates with a crowd. when all were creations of their time. I can tell you what I liked or disliked about them but placing them in a specific order or walking out of a spider man , nolan film or horror film and saying 'this best one yet" not my focus because I think some of those people really get lost in the sauce

    Yeah whatever brings you joy. You just brought up me joking about the buy out so I was contextualizing I think Leterboxd doesnt have the soul. If I did I wouldnt use ktt2 for movie discussion I would just go to letterboxd

    Yeah its not perfect but I really enjoyed it. I think some are trying to be hyper critical or hate that Nolan is known for making good movies because its nitpicky a bit

    For fans of the Homer material itt: is the lack of material from Homer and his translations a Fox X-Men type thing or an Akira type thing? Cause I’m getting Akira vibes based on the movie being so good and what people are mad about and the bit that I know/have read but I’m not sure

    Eh. Honestly, I might see her point of view depending on this second watch. The spectical of the story and film is pretty amazing, but reading about how her version is written there is a lot of stuff left out of the movie for Odysseus character and how the suitors were portrayed. Still one of my fav movies atm.

    I more referring to her petty comments like being ashamed if she wrote it. Feels performative

    This is dumb as f***.

    So basically POC actors in supporting roles = black best friend, according to her.

    Anyone else think Jon Bernthal is one of the most one dimensional actors around? He literally acts the same way in everything he's in.

    You’re not wrong but he’s very good at that dimension

    In parts of The Odyssey I legit felt like he's playing a parody of himself. Maybe my views were colored by all the Bernthal memes.

    Not saying I agree with what she said but isn’t her point more that these characters are dwindled down to generic poc tropes rather than getting to be real characters?

    Obviously profoundly stupid since Himesh and Leguizimo clearly have far more to do here than just simply be aids to Odysseus but I don’t think this take is racist, even if it’s wrong and annoying since many of the characters in this film serve small purposes to the overall narrative like Samantha Morton or Benny Safdie.

    Tbh I actually think he was doing something a little different here than his usual hardass Boston dude schtick. But when he’s doing his whole “does anyone here have a story of Odysseus?” Monologue, bro was in his bag
