I mean when a movie is showing in 70mm IMAX, people want to see it in the format. But there is not a huge supply of movies being displayed in that format so why build more? A digital IMAX screen seems like a much more sound investment for a theater, which there are hundreds of those. Even with events like these I still don't think the incentive is there for more true IMAX for just a handful of filmmakers, with maybe 1-2 true IMAX releases/year.

Sorry, that's what I meant - more proper IMAX screens/theaters in general (digital or otherwise), as opposed to LieMAX. Not necessarily 70mm IMAX, seeing as those are obviously just projectors that can be put in any proper IMAX theater. That said, I still don't think we have anywhere near enough proper IMAX screens/theaters, seeing as only one movie can be released in IMAX at a time, and studios are constantly fighting for IMAX real estate. If we had more proper IMAX screens/theaters, movies could theoretically release in IMAX simultaneously, more people would potentially come to the movies for the spectacle of it all, and everyone wins.

I watched one film in imax 70mm and was nauseous trying to get through it. I'm good with LieMAX

The prologue of THE ODYSSEY that will be shown before Avatar: Fire and Ash begins with a question: “You hear the story of the horse?” What follows is a thundering action set piece that flashes us back to the walls of Troy. The visuals are visceral, the audio an adrenaline rush.… pic.twitter.com/HzJnDxlYYQ

The line of "have you heard about the horse" makes it sound like it might be framed story starting with Homer then cutting back and forth between him telling the Odyssey to whoever and the story itself.

You cannot be serious.

We may have gotten a version of the Odyssey with Sean Bean playing Odysseus. That would have been awesome, but I'm also stoked to see Matt Damon in the role.

I can't voice how excited I am for this movie.

I am more convinced than ever that Nolan is going to represent the gods in The Odyssey as Julian Jaynes-style bicameral mind hallucinations. Look at how Athena is positioned behind the human characters, like a voice whispering into the left ear. pic.twitter.com/xl7HGlX7az

Note: The left photo with Tom Holland might be an AI fake-- but literally every set photo I've seen of Zendaya positions her behind Odysseus' left shoulder. And Jaynes specified that ancients would hear auditory hallucinations of their gods in the left ear.

I've never figured out why people are so down on Zendaya.

I've seen her in 3 projects: Spiderman, Dune, and Greatest Showman, and thought was very good in all 3.

---

You thought she was "very good"? To me, she did just enough to not detract from the movie, but her casting in those movies was one of the weaker castings, imo.

I am surprised how popular she seems to be with great directors when her acting chops are passable, at best. There are so many better actresses out there who could play Athena.

I'm sure it won't detract too much from the movie, but I'm "meh" on it.

Yes, that was what I meant when I said "thought she was very good".
