The MCD presale is pretty slim. Standing gone. Most seats gone.

They're asking £170 for a ticket at the side, mid way back.

£73 at the very back.

£185 for standing "early entry".

Edit: WTF, had FOMO and got the early entry standing ticket, but now they have regular standing tickets available. Grim.

Edit 2: Might be a glitch. It says they're unavailable when you actually try to buy.

Musk's AI version will keep the whiners happy, heat the planet and not employ anyone. It's win-win-win for those magamaniacs out there.

Yeah, "taking liberties" might not even be the way to think about it, since it's less an adaptation as something new that Nolan has created using material from various sources plus his own additions. Like the character Sinon coming from Virgil's Aeneid, and according to the review above, the portrayal of Circé being inspired by a novel from a few years ago, etc. At least he didn't do a Coppola and call it 'Homer's The Odyssey'

I'm probably biased as I'm a big Nolan fan, but ya, some of the criticisms are daft when you consider the subject matter. The review Shep linked is very good, albeit very long and I didn't read it all, but he justifies a lot of the creative choices Nolan made. Not all, mind, but at least it was a more balanced review.

Quote from: Pagan Saviour on August 05, 2026, 11:19:07 PMGood mix of young and old at this which was heartening. Plenty of youngsters giving it socks. Though I did see two attempt some kung fu shit during the support but it was quickly stopped.

some of the young lads were a bit energetic at the start alright, but it was good to see them enjoy themselves after the messing stopped. Cryptopsy were good, I think the set was probably around the right length, it started to get a bit samey towards the end and I wasn't sure which song was been played.
40 was a bit steep for tshirts but I suppose they have come from US/Canada so they need to make a few bob on this.

I think it's funny how upset people are over this. I wonder what percentage of the heads getting their knickers in a twist have even read it. And it's a story full of monsters, super natural entities and a Cyclops! If you can take a few liberties with any kind of tale, surely one this nutty is a perfect candidate 

Just back from The Odyssey, really enjoyed it. Which was a relief because I've always been into Greek mythology and I thought from the trailer it looked shite 

Definitely had some good horror parts, as someone mentioned. The pigs scene in particular was fucking fantastic, straight out of an 80s special effects fest.

It's been a while since I've read The Odyssey, but I think Nolan has taken his fair share of liberties there. Then again, it was an oral tale passed down over centuries that constantly evolved, so in a meta way he's just continuing that tradition, which would be very Nolan.

Midryasi's Kukt - Italian Dark Sound (Doomy Heavy Metal from Italy, debut album on Dying Victims, 30 minutes long with plenty of highlights.  Love the vocals).
Wolverine - Anomalies
At The Gates - The Ghost of a Future Dead (it isn't awful, but bar the first few tracks, I just zone out)
Immolation - Decent
Iron Maiden - Brave New World

Just going back to "4th of July" for a second, just found this instrumental version

Honestly, put Chris Reifert over that and it could be a lost track from the "Mental Funeral" sessions.

He might just be having an adverse reaction to roadkill penis?
