@ Everyone who predicted “The Odyssey” would flop...how ya feeling?

I'm a Senior Staff Writer based in New York City, where I've been covering classic BuzzFeed-style content since 2020.

Manson's ex-fiancée, Evan Rachel Wood, accused him in 2021 of sexual assault and abuse. Other women quickly came forward with their own allegations against Manson, though he denied them all. Manson sued Wood for defamation but later dropped the lawsuit. He was investigated by the LAPD, but no criminal charges were filed. He was also sued in civil court by multiple accusers, with the cases either getting dismissed, dropped, or settling, though one assault suit that was initially dismissed was reopened earlier this year (Manson has denied the assault occurred).

"The publishing industry is making hay while the Leonardo DiCaprio boom remains robust. There are no fewer than four books about him on the best-seller lists, and who knows how many more are in the wings? New product hoping to cash in faces greater risks, however. DiCaprio could be gone by summer as the stuff of dreams for teenage girls in the global village. Remember Brad Pitt?"

"This movie firmly cements in my mind that it probably isn't possible to make a good movie based on anything written by J. R. R. Tolkien. At least Ralph Bakshi can be forgiven a little; Rankin-Bass does a thoroughly bad job with what should have been easier source material."

Miller later apologized and said they were "suffering complex mental health issues." They were ultimately put on probation for trespassing.

An empty-headed horror movie (1979) with nothing to recommend it beyond the disco-inspired art direction and some handsome, if gimmicky, cinematography."
