Flop after flop after flop at the box office. What do you think will happen this awards season?. Seems like they’ve got no other choice but to campaign for Dune 3.
HBO Lanterns is great, and these idiots want AI slop lol 😂
I can't be the only one seeing this pattern. At this rate I'd hate to see Bruce Wayne's parents 😕

Wilson, a professor of classical studies at the University of Pennsylvania, said she didn’t want to come across as a “snobby,” nitpicking expert at odds with any deviation from the original text.

She found Penelope’s role so thinned out that it endangered “any possibility of believing in this marriage.” Wilson also that thought parts of the movie, notably the scenes with Odysseus’ dog, Argos, “catered towards modern sentimentality.”
“Everybody’s a sucker for a dog,” she said.
