Christopher Nolan explains why he chose Travis Scott to open a 3,000-year-old epic instead of following Hollywood tradition "When academics talk about how Homer's story was passed down, they'll always talk about folk poets." "They don't look at rap. They don't look at a guy like Travis Scott." "That's... show more

I was excited for the movie, the more they talk about it the less I want to see it. Zero interest now.

You'd still watch it And I'm sure it'll turn out alright

Not really interested. Kinda the same with Star Wars.

More dumb choices by Nolan. If the idea is to cast a rapper-as-modern-day-epic-poet, the only real choice is Kendrick Lamar. If you can’t get him, possibly Rakim. Nobody else operates in anything close to that mode.

Travis Scott, the pos that stood there bobbing his head while his fans were trampled to death in front of him. He did nothing and never acknowledged the incident. I'll cut my own dic off before I watch this fuked up movie.

Awful explanation & choice. If he wanted a true rapper & wordsmith, Rakim is the GOAT. How about an ACTUAL poet such as Amanda Gorman? Nolan totally screwed this up on so many levels. Try casting Greeks in the movie for instance. Nolan is a Malaka 😂😂😂

Why Christopher Nolan chose everyday American accents and Travis Scott over traditional cinema voices, and why he says the old way has absolutely no logic. Interviewer: I’m curious about the use of American accents. It felt like an intentional choice. Christopher Nolan: To me, I didn't want to look back to the Hollywood of the 50s and 60s where everyone spoke with an elevated Mid-Atlantic or British accent. There's no logic to that. We're trying to be what I find in the poem, which is earthy, grounded, accessible, and stunningly relevant. Academics talk about how Homer's story was passed down as oral formulaic poetry, but they'll talk about Yugoslav folk poets instead of looking at rap or a guy like Travis Scott. That's why I've got Travis in the movie. He got it immediately, this is how this story has been handed down, and we have that in our culture today.

Christopher Nolan says he cast rapper Travis Scott for ‘The Odyssey’ because rap is a form of “poetry.” “They’ll always talk about Yugoslav folk poets from the 1920’s or whatever, they don’t look at rap. They don’t look at a guy like Travis Scott.”

Ben Horowitz on what made Travis different as Uber scaled to thousands of employees: "There was nobody in Uber that didn't feel Travis. You talk to people there and they all refer to him. This company was, what, 10,000, 20,000 people? And everybody is like, oh yeah, we're in the Travis review, or when I talk to Travis." "To have that kind of presence at that scale is something not a lot of founders can do at that kind of turn-up intensity." "If you look at the way he thinks about problems, confrontations, getting out of a hole, how do you get to the future, we're talking about one of a very, very few founders that exist in reality." benahorowitz.eth travis kalanick

Chad O Jackson explains it’s not about skin color, it’s about culture “Wonder why so many people recoil away from us. They don't recoil away from us because of the color of our skin. That's foolish. They recoil away from us because our culture sucks And I know that's a lot for a lot of people to take in because we're, we're supposed to be nice. We live in a very PC culture. But you're not gonna get that from me. Our culture, black culture sucks. It just does. Nobody wants to live around it. We have to look at how black culture has put an impression in people's minds that's something they want to get away from, and not something that they want to be associated with. It's 100% cultural The fact is, black culture today is in such shams that it causes people to recoil away from it.“ He explains how it was not always this way

At the Vista Theatre in Los Angeles, one of the last remaining theaters to project 70mm film, director Christopher Nolan told Scott Pelley he believes that movie theaters are here to stay and will be part of the future of cinema. “There's always been confusion about… the economics of the business,” Nolan said. “But the idea of the movie as a communal experience, as a place we come together to experience a story, I'm fully confident that that's a part of our culture forever.”

Crockett: "When you look at the press conference Trump held, he didn't talk about democracy. Now I know there are a lot of people talking about how this is good for the Venezuelan people because Maduro was a bad guy. That's not why he did it. He has not cared about Venezuelans at all. Here's the receipts ... I get there are people that don't like the leader. But guess what -- there are a lot of people who don't like our leader."

Mikel Arteta’s beautiful praise to his staff and players. “That's when you have a difficult period. I think the best thing that you can do instead of talk a lot is observe. Look around you and see how people react. How they talk, how they look at you, how they judge you, what they do. Do they look at themselves, do they start to criticise other people? “Look around and you're going to learn the environment and the people that you have around you. “I cannot be prouder to work in a club with people that the only thing they could do is ask, what else can I do to help? “When you have people like this, I don't know if it's gonna take another week or two, but something good it will happen at the end because we deserve it.”
