So, if someone wants to call me,” he responded, before joking: “I know I get some pushback for being Canadian. I don’t know what it’s about, but—” Elliot Page as Sinon in The Odyssey. Universal Page came out as a transgender man in 2020 and underwent gender-affirming care. When his casting in The Odyssey was first announced, the actor faced a barrage of transphobic comments that surfaced online.

‘Masterpiece,’ Objects to Elliot Page

‘Masterpiece,’ Objects to Elliot Page

Published by Daniella Wilson

Despite The Odyssey receiving pre-release backlash from some people in the MAGA-verse, right-wing influencer Ben Shapiro is a fan of Christopher Nolan‘s take on the epic story. “The movie is a masterpiece,” he declares in an 18-minute review posted to YouTube, in which he gives the film an 8.5/9 on a 10-point scale. He praises Matt Damon as Odysseus and Robert Pattinson as Antinous and Tom Holland as Telemachus and has little issue with Zendaya as Athena and Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy. “I know a lot of people were like, ‘Oh my God, Lupita Nyong’o is supposed to look like Diane Kruger.’ I don’t know. Diane Kruger doesn’t look very Greek. She’s German,” Shapiro pushes back. Rapper Travis Scott as Bard is a bit jarring, but he has a small part. And Zendaya not looking especially Greek doesn’t bother Shapiro in the least. “Casting Zendaya in that role doesn’t change anything … Zendaya does a fine job, doesn’t bother me at all,” he adds. But Shapiro takes issue with Elliot Page as Sinon. …

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales review – a playable love letter to Zelda | Games

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales review – a playable love letter to Zelda | Games

Published by Sam Flores

You can’t help but wonder if developer Team Asano is in a private competition with itself to come up with the most ridiculous name for a video game. Following Project Triangle Strategy and Bravely Default: Flying Fairy we have this mouthful: The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. It’s a playable love letter to the Zelda adventures of yesteryear rendered in the studio’s trademark glorious 2D-HD art style, melding evocative pixel sprites with modern visual effects. From west Philabieldia, born and raised, our hero is adventurer Elliot. The antagonist making trouble in the neighbourhood is a king’s dastardly aide intent on summoning an ancient evil. The story is pure after-school-TV schlock, fully voice-acted but still unafraid to make you sit through reams and reams of text, and the action comprises treasure-hunting, temple-roaming and dispatching monsters. It’s part Chrono Trigger, part Oracle of Seasons as our almost obnoxiously upbeat hero journeys through the ages in order to solve puzzles, tip his fedora and of course, save a princess. In each of the world’s four time periods, …

Billy Elliot Star Returns to Berlin

Billy Elliot Star Returns to Berlin

Published by Daniella Wilson

Jamie Bell was just 14 when he made his film debut as a would-be ballet dancer in 2000’s Billy Elliot, so by the time he visited the Berlinale in 2007, he’d already begun to develop an impressive resume — having worked on Peter Jackson’s King Kong and Clint Eastwood’s Flags of Our Fathers — and begun to transition into young adult roles. In director David Mackenzie’s Scottish-set drama Hallam Foe — which had echoes of both Rear Window and Vertigo — Bell starred as a young man who’s been obsessively spying on his father and stepmother when he discovers a look-alike for his dead mother, a woman working in an Edinburgh hotel played by Sophia Myles. Calling the role “a showy part,” THR critic Kirk Honeycutt added, “it’s a juicy character for the talented and increasingly ubiquitous Jamie Bell to run with.” A competition entry, the film ultimately won a Silver Bear for best music. Speaking with the entertainment site Outnow, Bell described the film’s title character as “an eccentric … standing on the threshold …

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Elliot Cadeau scored 17 points and No. 4 Michigan defeated Oregon 81-71 Saturday afternoon at Matthew Knight Arena. Nimari Burnett scored 15 points and Aday Mara added 12 points as Michigan (16-1, 6-1) won its second straight game following its lone loss of the season. Morez Johnson Jr. scored nine points in 17 minutes despite foul trouble and Yaxel Lendeborg added six and a game-high 10 rebounds for the Wolverines, who shot 49% from the field and outrebounded the Ducks 36-30.

Kwame Evans Jr. had 18 points and seven rebounds while Takai Simpkins scored 12 for the Ducks.
