Steeling myself, getting ready in all ways and making all overt and obvious preps to sit out going to see The Odyssey in the theater. I know, I know, it will be their loss but I am prepared to make this sacrifice so that they will learn better and maybe even take the lesson home, write it down a thousand times and remember it for the next time. I am sick of directors and film makers making movies that have already been done to death and ignoring all the new things that pop up every day that would make a killer movie. The Odyssey has been done 33 times! I'll admit that I really enjoyed, "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? but I have to admit, that was a fluke.
When the only thing people talk about in your daring "new" movie is your wacky casting, you just may have a problem with your latest. b l o c k b u s t e r. It sounds really dull and boring and everybody knows how it ends anyway.
Anyway, there are hundreds of books and stories that would make great movies because they are entertaining, interesting and even fascinating. Why not make those movies?

I’m beginning to suspect it is because nobody reads and perhaps that the handful that do still read, pick up the books that won the newly reshaped WOKE awards for their genre and found them stupid, trite and boring. I do. They don’t read the fun outstanding ones looking for good stories. On the other hand, I have heard that there are only 3 kinds of stories…
