Today, I went to see the Odyssey with my little brother.

It was great! I particularly loved Anne Hathaway's performance. She really hit it out of the park. The rest of the cast was from good to great, as I really couldn't say anyone was bad, per se, though some aspect of the movie weren't quite to my taste. I thought Travis' part was a little superfluous or weird, for instance, though I really don't think it had anything to do with his performance, and moreso with the script; I thought Calipso was really weak, and every time they were on Calipso's island is just felt like nothing; and I thought Tom Holland was mediocre, as he does tend to be.

On the other hand, I felt that Circe was incredible, really awesome. She was creepy, very emotional... Just, an amazing performance by Samantha Morton. Really incredible, though I will reaffirm that the biggest thing was the very unnerving and creepy transformation (that she ultimately brought to life).

I rate it a strong 4. Definitely worth a watch! I watched it in IMAX, but I'm not sure how worth it that particular choice was. I do wonder how different an experience it would've been to watch on a regular screen, so to speak.

I wore shorts.

I found this weird catboy who apparently studied business on YouTube who does Essays. And his Bobby-Broccoli & Jon Bois styled video on how IMDB ratings and such work is great. You may have been forced to look at his thumbnail of a video about chess, where the title is something like one of these two players is going to die and the thumbnail is two people sitting at a chess board with big bold red text "draws do not count". Watch that, its great.

You do not want another Episode of your favourite series (remastered): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wka48VweZBA

Also I have a very comprehensive, simple and especially informative rating system: I Compare things to my expectations, score from 1 to 10 and my score actually means something. because many americans are like: there was a rat in my food 1/10. The food was terrible 8/10. The food was just alright 9/10, the food was great! 10/10. Boah the food was amazing 11/10 I've never had anything this good in my life! 12/10 What??? you've got this whole scale and you're crunching everything into this tiny space and then you eed to break your own scale just to say something.

I posted this under an aproriate video about rating systems:

this is what we actually want. this is what we need:

1 Hated.

2: Actively unpleasant.

3: Poor, with major problems.

5: Acceptable and unremarkable. Around average, to be expected.

7: Clearly good.

9: Exceptional.

10: Basically perfect for its purpose or personal favourite.

We do not need an understanding and comparison to everything ever like with systems that are supposedly perfectly symmetrical or something.

Anyway 11/10 video.
