One of the most historically-accurate period movies I’ve ever seen is Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
“'ow do you know he’s a king?”
“He hasn’t got shit all over 'im!”
Let me guess, his main complaint is the skin tone of Helen of Troy?
You could shoot a film set in early sub-saharan Africa, and fuckers like this would still complain that it’s not “historically accurate” if there’s even a single black person in the cast.
… and that a trans person exists.
The nerve of someone existing without his permission.
There’s a coherent, objective, and interesting interpretation of “historically accurate” that I would like to see, that being what the Greeks at the time that the poem was written imagined the poem to be describing.
(But maybe there would be too much moral dissonance for that to be a fun movie.)
Both sides of this argument would go absolutely bananas. It would be glorious to behold.
I wonder if it will also do the bible with historically accurate Jesus. Probably not, that would shock the people that still buy his shit too much.
they won’t buy it, a historically accurate Jesus is not white
Appears Elon has a naked Greek men fucking kink …
Sometimes I want to try ketamine but then I see how Elon turned out.
it literally dumbs you down. when you k-hole it’s a weird feeling of being “detained” on the floor. i guess he has a dom kink if he likes it that much.
when you k-hole it’s a weird feeling of being “detained” on the floor
It’s not like that at all
Could you describe it? Assuming you have experience with it. I love learning about that kind of stuff
erowid.org was a lifesaver for me back in my experimenting days.
Ketamine is a dissociative, so if you take enough to “k-hole,” you aren’t “feeling like you’re detained” anywhere because you aren’t feeling anything about your surroundings. It’s 100% internal (and a wild fucking ride hahah). I prefer it to psychedelics because for me it lacked the anxiety and confusing “weirdness” that almost always comes along with those.
It is also very safe in terms of acute doses. Which is why we literally use it to sedate infants. It’s only bad on your body (bladder) when you use it habitually.
Neat! Thanks for sharing
You’d love the psychonaut wiki then! https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Ketamine#Subjective_effects
See “Experience reports” section for anecdotal examples.
Truly a curse worthy of any story
On the othet hand he is literally the richest person ever to have lived.
On the other hand he is so insecure and sad that not even the global billionaire pedophile ring wants him with.
It’s amazing how it is never enough for him. He gets declared richest man in the world. But no, that’s not good enough, I’m his mind by all rights he really should be worth more than everyone else in the world put together. Technically he was saying this about SpaceX when he was whining after no longer being a trillionaire, but you know it was triggered by his personal “downgrade” back to “mere billionaire” rather than some grand view of SpaceX unrelated to his personal ego.
Is Big Balls still his friend?
Meh, lots of idiots use cannabis too, doesn’t mean you should blame the drug.
Don’t blame ketamine
Musk is too dumb to know that. He really think it’s historical reality lol
He just thinks that any depiction of a non-white person prior to the year 1800 is ‘historically inaccurate’.
So he’s gonna include achilleus in drag and getting fucked by patroclus, right?
Right?
He’s been broken since that diver rescued those kids rather than wait for Elon to build a cave diving submarine, and Musk’s grown-up rational response was to call him a paedophile.
It’s been always obvious to anyone with two semesters of college physics that he has never had any idea what he is talking about.
According to some that knew him, he’s been broken long before that. Notably his first wife basically described exactly the man we are seeing long before that incident, but no one really took that in at the time. Even before they split up, saw a video about him taking delivery of one of his first rich person cars and on the video she already clearly thought this was some stupid bullshit.
Before folks were able to curate his public image and moderate his “creative input”. He was seen as a crucial brand to maintain and powerful folks were eager to maintain the “real life Tony Stark” concept. Those are the guardrails that have worn out.
Yeah, he’s always been this person. Pretty much everyone who’s ever worked with him has always described him as a contrarian twat. I think his public image started to shift soon after firing his longtime secretary/mommy Mary Beth Brown, who used to control all his public engagement.
He’s also always been self aggrandizing. He occasionally brags about how he was one of the best Quake players in the world. Turns out he just had access to a corporate T1 line which gave him a major advantage in online tournaments. When someone else with similar access soundly trounced him, he accused that person of cheating for doing exactly what he himself was doing.
Yeah I remember reading her article about him before he was widely disliked and coming to the conclusion he was a scumbag, but even then I didn’t expect him to get as bad as he did
I call the rescue diver incident his public Mask Off moment. Everything before that could be considered harmless shitposts or trolling other rich people.
That’s when I realized something was seriously wrong with him, and he wasn’t just an autistic, eccentric genius.
So ever single person in that full length movie would be brown?
Really doubt that Elmo.
Why would they be brown. Greeks aren’t brown.
Dark olive skin is what my cursory googling led me to believe. Not that I super give a fuck about the color of someone’s skin let alone in the past LET ALONE in a fictional fantasy piece. But like I didn’t get the impression that they were porcelain white either.
They aren’t white either. Which is what counts to racists like musk.
To them anything else is “brown”.
I’m of South East Asian descent I know Greek people who are darker than me, yet I’m brown and Greeks are not?
He meant Homer Simpson.
self proclaimed non-reader is suddenly interested in the authenticity of a classical literature adaptation
lol Elon watches influencers
To be fair, I think he’s talking about being accurate to the historical period in which the story is set. That period was very real, even if the events of the story - namely the supernatural ones - were not.
That being said, I have a really hard time understanding why some people care so much. It’s just a movie, and it really doesn’t seem worth getting upset about. Just don’t watch it if it bothers you that much.
Racism is the reason they are upset; they are racists.
By accurate he means not including a black woman in the cast.
If Nolan were trying to be accurate to the historical period, there wouldn’t be a black woman in the cast, or any actors who aren’t from that part of the Mediterranean, basically, which includes English actors, East Asian actors, etc. Obviously, Nolan isn’t going for historical accuracy, which, in my opinion, is a perfectly valid decision. Nearly all period films made in Hollywood today don’t only use actors who are from the relevant geographic area. That’s why, as I already said, I don’t understand why people are getting so upset about it.
The people that are upset are bigots.
How are there still people here who don’t understand this?
What colour were the cyclops’ eyes Elon?
It’s a dog whistle meaning they will make Odyssey white
Hey now. There are still slaves in the Odyssey.
Does slave actually = black to you?
Is that humor in your world?
Way to completely misread the situation. I was referring to musk’s racism and him filing all the slave roles with minorities because it matches his version of “historical accuracy”.
