Please wait...
You guys are killing it.
Black female Tarzan must be gay, and in love with a pale, white, redheaded English Jane.
That would blow the box office up.
LoL and another " i dont care what my fans think "
"Christopher Nolan Says ‘Odyssey’ Backlash Over Casting and More Is ‘Irrelevant’ and He’s Learned Not to Worry: ‘Remember, I Spent 10 Years Dealing With Batman’"
So now they're saying that it is blowing out box office records. Do you believe that? This is the problem for me... I am hearing "The sold out shows are full of empty seats, they bought out theaters that no one was at to make it appear like it was hot, trusting that this would make people go to the show."
That seems reasonable. Plausible. If you've got a multimillion dollar budget, what is a few more to make showings seem sold out.
But - how do you prove this? It is like Jet contrails and 9/11 conspiracy. It is like Flat Earthers. You just end up on the side that agrees with your worldview. But you never know what the real truth is.

conspiracy. It is like Flat Earthers. You just end up on the side that

You go with the NEW universal truth:
Everything is fake. Everything. Everywhere. All the time.
What people say, what you think they believe, what they say other people think, what they say other people say, and especially anything involving the movement of small green pieces of paper. It's all fake. It's all made up.
More than ever, what matters is the relationships, the people, the stuff you can observe is real, right there in front of you. Don't take my word for it, though. I'm some dude on the other side of the universe ... or am I? I might just be a brain in a vat attached to the global internet for fun.
Or a LLM running on a NVIDIA Jetson Thor, in someone's closet.

It is all a simulation. It is weird watching people catch on to that idea and propose it as "science" - because after dropping a lot of acid in the mid 80s, then getting into the Commodore scene in the late 80s and early 90s and playing CFRPG games like Ultima - right away I noticed that a lot of things in "reality" work a LOT like they work in simulated realities like CFRPGs and object oriented code.
Fractal geometry is one of those things. You look at the Grand Canyon from a 35,000 foot view, it is like looking at the erosion on the banks of the river from 5 feet, and you can keep zooming in and the pattern just repeats over and over from the macroscopic to the microscopic. That is conservation of resources to create the illusion of a bigger universe when restricted by limited resources. You can make a universe that is compelling and full in 64k using tiling and reusable objects with slight random variations.

2026-08-11 10:12 from IGnatius T FoobarTruth to be told, it is easy to argue The Odyssey can be making awesome income without getting a huge audience. They engineered the whole movie in such a way they convinced the fans they had left they needed to watch it in IMAX if they wanted the full experience.But - how do you prove this?

I read an article about the economics of modern movies a week ago and the whole thing was kind of daunting. Long story short: they are losing audience very fast and they only get their income numbers stable because they are raising ticket prices, directly of via gimmicks. They have basically given up on the idea they can expand their audience and are instead trying to cash their chips and extract as much as they can from the customers they have left. Much like the AAA videogame industry at this point.
