Hey @georgetakei.bsky.social nearly 2500 years ago #Sophocles wrote "The water was poisoned and we got used to the taste." in #OedipusRex. Seems relevant today.
Michael meets his real parents. A town is destroyed. New chapter out now. Link in bio. #oedipus #oedipusrex #supervillain #superpowers #Destruction
Erstes Vorfreude Posting. Heute die letzte Probe in #Wien für #Salzburg #Strawinsky #OedipusRex - und das werden sehr spannende Aufführungen, soviel steht fest. #letsgo www.sn.at/festspiele/s...
James Fitzpatrick voice: Here we have a native of this picturesque village performing an ancient rite to express his displeasure with fate. #OedipusRex #TCMParty
Just came home from a walk, saw that it was #MythologyNight on the Blueskies and turned on my TV… What in The Holy Mountain is this?! 😅
🇮🇹 🎭 🇬🇷 #TCMParty #OedipusRex
I even knew exactly what to look up to double check 🤣 🤓 #TCMParty #OedipusRex
I fucking KNEW IT!!!! Shoutout to my neurodivergent ass going through a Romanian folk music phase 🤣 #TCMParty #OedipusRex
Pasolini clearly dropped acid and read Sophocles, not necessarily in that order. #OedipusRex #TCMParty
What, no1980’s Sax playing?
Sorry, wrong night.
#TCMParty
#OedipusRex
I think… this music is actually Romanian????? #TCMParty #OedipusRex
I know you can’t beat fate in a Greek tragedy but COME ON, Oedipus, you’re make it so damn easy 💀 #TCMParty #OedipusRex
With a little HOLY GRAIL thrown in (the helmet) ^PG #TCMParty #OedipusRex #NotDeadYet
Or young Mel Gibson? #OedipusRex #TCMParty
The helmets were a necessary device so that no one recognizes how much #OedipusRex looks like a Theban royal? #tcmparty
Oedipus: *has an existential crisis after being told that he’ll kill his father and marry his mother* *goes on a killing spree* 🤦🏻
#TCMParty #OedipusRex
Do we think #OedipusRex is trying to get himself killed by this traveling party? Because, if so, he sucks at it. Or, more properly, the guards suck at killing crazed randos. #tcmparty
This confrontation with Laius’s party is taking on big Monty Python and the Holy Grail vibes. Expect one of these vanquished guards to say, “Tis only a flesh wound!” #OedipusRex #tcmparty
1967 avant-garde film sword #OedipusRex #tcmparty
What type of sword is that?
#TCMParty #OedipusRex
Totally. Would not tip. #OedipusRex #TCMParty
When does Clint Eastwood show up? #OedipusRex #TCMParty
Fatherkiller AND motherfucker?! 😩 🔪 👁️ 👁️ #TCMParty #OedipusRex
Also, it’s 1967. Weirdness abounds. #OedipusRex #tcmparty
I am also very gimme gimme! when my niece is around and in need of carrying 😂 #TCMParty #OedipusRex
My 1yo niece makes a bigger fuss when it’s bedtime than Oedipus does when he’s about to be 🔪 🤪 #TCMParty #OedipusRex
