Why Christopher Nolan and why The Odyssey???

Blender DumbassOn the surface it seems like The Odyssey is a vanity project. Like if Christopher Nolan after getting an Oscar for Oppenheimer ( which I still didn't review for some stupid reason ), decided that he is big enough, of a filmmaker, to take on a project of epic proportions, or something. Like he can tell Homer himself, how to properly tell a story, or whatever. But then you watch the movie.

With AI you are focusing on the wrong Fear of Missing Out
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/aifomo.png)
Blender DumbassVibe-Coders, people that use LLMs for programming, are found at a such high levels of stress these days, that they end up in a hospital over it. They believe that they need to keep up-to-date on everything regarding the endless AI updates, to the point that it literally deteriorates their health. We all know a person in some field that feels like they would not necessarily want to use AI, but in the same time, they don't want to "fall behind" the rest. That they must know how to "use" these tools, or else they will have no chance what so ever, in the market-place. The problem is, they are focusing on the wrong Fear. Especially when it comes to the market-place.
Lunatics! Episode 1 has dropped. And I have thoughts!!!
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/user_upload/blenderdumbass/lunatics6.jpg)
Blender DumbassLunatics! is a Open-Movie project by Rosalyn Hunter and Terry Hancock. I was following their socials ( mainly their Peertube account ) for quite some time now. And today, about an hour ago they released an unfinished version of episode one. Why does it matter? Well, they are working on it, if I understand correctly, since 2003, ( based on this video ). This unfinished episode is, therefor, 23 years in the making. My Moria's Race short-film with its 3.5 years is nothing in comparison.
AI is Box-Office poison

Blender DumbassWhy do people go to cinema? A billion dollar question, isn't it? Well, if you ask the Austrian School of Economics you will see that people tend to buy things they value more than the money they need to spend to buy that very thing.
Iron Lung undersells itself
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/af/Iron_Lung_%28film%29_poster.jpg)
Blender DumbassWatching the trailer of Markiplier's Iron Lung movie made a certain type of impression on me. The movie is obviously low budget. The set looks hilarious ( outside of the context or the source material ). And shot choices look rather amateurish. Watching Iron Lung itself, on the other hand, makes me believe that Mark Fischbach ( Markiplier ), the writer and director of this movie, had a cinematic Ace up his sleeve. And he was just playing the long game.
The Lunacy of Buckaroo Banzai

Blender DumbassFew films come close to the shier amount of WTF moments as the 1984 W. D. Richter film The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. The best way to describe this film is "WTF". Let me explain.
Nomads (1986) is quentessencially 80s Citizen Kane

TrolerThe movie is not told by walking to various unreliable witnesses. The second protagonist, Dr. Eileen Flax (Lesley-Anne Down) just gets the pieces of the visions, as if this was some sort of Edgar Wright film.
Invasion of Astro-Monster teletransported to Brahe
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/21/Invasion_of_Astro-Monster_Theatrical_Poster.jpg)
TrolerInstead of an action roller-coaster, the film provides a Sci-Fi political story with a 3 headed Ghidorah. As is the case with previous installments, the costumes were repurposed, just changed to fit the slightly different aesthetic.
Dreadful Revelation of Spielberg's Disclosure Day
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/user_upload/Troler/PV4B19GD4OJ4418B.png)
TrolerListen, I do not know how describe the movie. Besides the obvious fact that it is the most Spielberg Spielberg can ever Spielberg. It starts off with people in the boxing ring, from the first perspective. Which is quite queer to me, since in school there was a special event, when...
Disclosure Day 2026 is quintessentially Spielberg
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c3/Disclosure_Day_poster.jpg)
Blender Dumbass"Listen" is the message of Steven Spielberg's 2026's alien picture Disclosure Day. Why would Spielberg do this specific movie, about this specific subject matter? What should we listen to? What is the Disclosure of the Disclosure Day?
Spoiling The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act

TrolerThe Eight Wonder of Cinema is King Kong 1933
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f3/Kingkongposter.jpg)
TrolerThe 1933 film itself is not too special. For its time, there's a lot to laud. Comparing what Peter Jackson would do later, there's night and day. I do not mean the special effects, which are exceptional.
Trap 2024: oh... M. Night Shyamalan is Back, Baby!
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5e/Trap_2024_%28film_poster%29.jpg/250px-Trap_2024_%28film_poster%29.jpg)
Blender DumbassWe are living in the most exciting era when it comes to M. Night Shyamalan. The era I would call "A lottery". M. Night started strong. Critical acclaim and commercial success hit him hard, when he was a young film-maker. They were calling him "the next Spielberg". Then doubt possessed his sole. Some critics said something about something he did. And there he went. On a downward spiral towards the bottom. The Happening, The Last Airbender, After Earth... M. Night never truly recovered from this turmoil. He did great films since: The Visit, Split, Knock at the Cabin. But he then made strangely not so great films in between: Glass, Old, the strangely The Happening esque ending of Knock at the Cabin. Going today to an M. Night Shyamalan movie is truly a lottery. You never know what you are gonna get. With Trap we all got a fucking jack-pot!
Project Hail Mary is weirdly Von Tririan?
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/3b/Project_Hail_Mary_poster.jpg/250px-Project_Hail_Mary_poster.jpg?utm_source=en.wikipedia.org&utm_campaign=parser&utm_content=thumbnail)
Blender DumbassProject Hail Mary is one of those few movies, which I read in the book form before watching. The book by Andy Weir in an absolute banger of a read. The plotting is awesome. The detail the book goes into is insane. Basically Andy Weir is one of the best contemporary writers living today. And Hollywood wanting to adopt Weir is and always will be bound to happen.
