55. One Touch Of Venus (1948) and The Odyssey (2026)

The first time I went to the 70 millimeter IMAX at Lincoln Square, one of the biggest in the country.

We were in the fifth row, which I was a little worried about.

And it is I mean, it's quite large.

It's like a 75 foot tall screen.

So we're looking up a

lot.

It actually like wasn't.

It wasn't as bad as I was fearing it would be in terms of being too close, but having then watched it again in 4DX.

I

feel like that's a risk.

It was.

Did it feel bad? Chloe wanted to see it in

4DX.

I don't know.

did she feel

good after seeing her she actually

did she was like i kind of my back needed that um you know um i there were a couple scenes like some of the action stuff i felt like even though i was getting tossed around in my seat and like getting water shoot shot at me um i felt like i could actually absorb the scene better because i wasn't as close into it you know

And all of your senses were being activated.

Yeah.

You were really like putting that boat and stuff.

Um, but, but yeah, I mean, I feel like both times I just didn't care for, I didn't care for the movie.

say

more i think that as a baseline the sort of historical epic fantasy thing is just not really my vibe so i'm already kind of working at a disadvantage as we talked about last week like i'm not super familiar with the story i've not really read it in any meaningful way um well okay here's actually what I want to say up top is that I want to disalign myself with certain critiques that I that you know because there are people who don't like this movie because they're racist and and that's not where I'm coming from there are other people who have issues with like the language and accents and like i don't have any of those issues there was you know it's the the discourse at least today is the emily wilson uh review of books uh piece which you know we i don't maybe we'll get into later but like that she is a scholar she's not a film critic she's coming out of from a very specific point of view and that's but he does

say that he got inspiration from her translation so i understand why she came back and was like no you're wrong

Yeah, but that's not where I'm coming from, obviously, right? So for me, I found the storytelling device of him sort of trying to remember pieces of his story, talking to Calypso, I kind of never fully found that there.
