Took a quick detour for a garbage plate i see
Almost like he shouldn’t have pissed off Poseidon…
Were they stupid?
They took a boat, clearly a detour
They used Bing maps.
That explains it. No direct water route. The Erie canal hadn’t been dug yet.
No, they were just drawing it out for the Odysseus Cinematic Universe.
Don’t eat the lotuses in Schenectady.
Most of that time was just hanging out on an island not traveling
Yeah, but once you factor in traffic …
Ok, now show me the trip estimate for making that trip in a big boat…
Scranton doesn’t seem to be on the route. If they’d take a detour like in the original though…
Come on, how can you not make that detour…
The problem is they turned onto Chrysler Ave instead of hitting 890 off crosstown and once you get on Chrysler Ave it’s impossible to get off and then you’re just stuck at Schenectady.
Hi neighbor! I love seeing other locals on lemmy.
Troy NY is a fucking psychotic place
It’s a hell of a lot better than it used to be. I remember being scared to be there in the '90s. They’ve put a lot of money into cleaning up downtown and the waterfront. Crime has plummeted through the floor. New construction and new restaurants have moved in. These days, it’s nearly the hipster Brooklyn scene of the Capital Region.
It’s easy to lose track of time when you’re having fun.
Just off the upper left of the map there’s Greece, NY. It’s a Rochester suburb. Just throwing that out there.
If there’s a new York, why not also a new Troy?
Looks like Rome is right there too.
Also Syracuse. And Marathon is in the map area but not labeled at this zoom.
Reminds me of this
I don’t know not sure there is usable road? And this isn’t quiet the nazgul would be waiting for them and an ambush would be easy to set up.
Ok I’ll throw in mine too, SHERP!
This is actually the correct answer. The journey to and within Mordor would be nothing for a SHERP!!
“Sam, you’re breaking the car!”
I am going to downboat you because I’m a Subaru fan not because you are incorrect in your choice of vehicle.
(I actually upboated you)
When I first saw Subaru impresa back in 1998 I was a child, but I could see how special the car was. In fact, during late 90s and 2000s we had some very special cars coming out of rally.
Lol. Reminds me of Moses wondering the desert for 40 years to go like 400 miles.
One does not simply drive into Mordor…oh hell you have an Evo? Go on you’re good
Most movies would end faster if the main character was driving a Lancer.
- Little Miss Sunshine
- Driving Mrs. Daisy
- The Brave Little Toaster
- Planes, Trains, & Automobiles
- Homeward Bound
- Speed…
The exorcist would be a VERY different movie though…
The new testament
Everyone’s talking about driving… but you actually can take a boat from Troy to Ithaca. Just take the Erie Canal west until you reach Montezuma, at the confluence proceed to the Cayuga-Seneca Canal, and continue south through Cayuga Lake, and at the end you’ll reach Ithaca.
Easy enough and only takes a couple days at the most. I have no idea why they needed to make some movie about this.
It’s a “fast food” version of the Odyssey compared to the original Michelin-starred meal.
