What's the last movie[s] you've seen + have take on it. Worth seeing or not
BJV:
Raising Cain (Director's Cut) (1992)
Lately I've been into only watching things I haven't seen before and this is a lesser known film by Brian De Palma (Scarface). It throws you in all kind of different directions. John Lithgow puts in an epic performance. Worth seeing for sure.
HighEyeCue:
The Odyssey(2026)
I liked it but it was quite a long time to sit in a movie theater lol...I recommend it when it hits streaming

the trans actor ended up playing a character that was not in the book..he was actually in another book by the same author but incorporated into the film for some reason, maybe because he was trans?...the other thing the Greeks didn't like was that Helen of Troy was played by a black actress...the Greek community is notoriously racist so that wasn't a surprise...I enjoyed the film but you can definitely say it is woke

In original Greek mythology and ancient texts Helen of Troy was not black. I'm all for black actors getting chances but this is not the type of shit they need to pull. Didn't they have a black Disney princess or something a while ago that also used to be white? James Bond is not black. If we're going on this route we might as well cast a white man as the next Shaft.
