Just, damn, that was a good movie. As far as live action movies about talking sheep go, it's only second to Babe because Babe is one of the most perfect films ever made.

Agreed. I’m just glad movies like this still get made. Imagine this movie getting pitched to the studio. The premise is so off-kilter. Love it.

“guys! I think I’m inside a clue!”

Had the TV on all day yesterday as background noise. I started with Return of the Jedi. Then I stumbled onto TCM, who was having a Mel Brooks marathon to celebrate his 100th birthday. It started with Spaceballs, followed by Blazing Saddles (which was uncensored, much to my surprise), and Young Frankenstein.

There's not really a place for it, but I feel like the only person who's ambivalent about The Odyssey. I've seen gushing praise, I've seen hate.

I just don't really want to pay to see a 3-hour movie if spoilers aren't a risk. I personally don't get the "you've got to see it on a big screen" for any movie anymore. My home theater isn't better, but it's sufficient, and doesn't cost $100 for a family of four to watch.

The way I see it, Nolan’s got a pretty strong rep for great films. Even his worst films (Insomnia, Dark Knight Rises, Dunkirk) are still solid entertainers.

The haters are all people whose opinions I equate with the pooping disease ravaging the nation. Elon Musk thinks Lupita Nyong’o isn’t hot? He stuck his dick in FKA Twigs, so maybe his opinion is suspect.

And nobody said you had to drag your whole family to the theater. One ticket costs less than four. Treat y’self.

I had to laugh at the concept of spoilers for The Odyssey because it was written over 2600 years ago. I read it either in high school or in college...so sometime in the 90s. There is a chance I remember the basic story.

It's all praise/hate for Christopher Nolan or the actors.

I've yet to see a single mention about Dan Castellaneta.
