Saw The Odyssey last night. Truly one of the most epic theater experiences of my life. Couple of minor quibbles about too-long fight scenes, but we were all slack-jawed by it. Odysseus is a badass.

Any time I get to see some Zendaya its a good day...

Odysseus is a badass, agreed.

Just saw the Odyssey today in 70mm...
We all enjoyed it quite a bit!

I thought it was a solid B, so I thought iwas a good movie. I don’t think it was remotely close to an epic movie and I doubt I’ll bother watching it again.

I loved the tales as a kid.

Fair enough...It was one of those subject matters that would have been easy to put together poorly within one movie.

I appreciated how tight they kept it.

I'm a big Damon fan too.

Yeah, U can see where some would really get into it, but my wife and I both walked out thinking it was good, not great. We are really looking forward to I Play Rocky. We’ve been watching all the Rocky movies for its 50th year celebration.

Watched Ep1...

On the fence for me, we'll see. Gotta see some more.

My wife was a thumbs down, I'll be on my own with this one.

Fiancé is on a cruise so I took advantage of 100% remote control. My expectations were low going in and I’ve been pleasantly surprised.

Seasons 1 & 2 of The Agency is currently streaming on Paramount+. Previously, you had to subscribe to the Paramount+/Showtime combo. If espionage shows are your thing, I strongly recommend.

Went to see THE END OF OAK STREET last night and it was super fun. Thrilling, intense at times, funny.

I am soooo happy people are making movies like Sinners, Weapons, Obsession, and now this one, again.

Loving these scary movies that have enough levity and cleverness baked into them that they appeal much wider (and most importantly, to me :P) than the super serious, Blumhouse/Eli Roth/Michael Meyers reboot gorefests that seemingly dominated the genre for about 20 years.
