Dear Gordon,

August is a busy month for the State Legislature as all proposed legislation from the 2025-2026 two-year session must be considered and voted on by August 31st or otherwise fail.

I have 13 bills still moving through the legislative process this year, and I'm very proud that two bills I've authored have already been signed into law:

  • SB 1036 helps to make building new housing more affordable by ensuring developments are not over-charged certain impact fees
     
  • SB 97 strengthens regulatory oversight of stablecoins and digital financial assets, promoting transparency, consumer confidence, and responsible innovation

'Proposed Reedie+ book group beginning in late December 2024 or early 2025?' - now in September 2026 - in Canyon??? - The Odyssey?


Dear Gabrielle, Byron, Cindy, Jim, Valerie, Ed, Gantt, JoAnne, Reedies +, other friends, all, 

Greetings! Does going to the film The Odyssey (which US Senator and former Harvard Law professor Elixabeth Warren Tweeted about recently - ) together, say to Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" (2026) in the Rheem-Moraga Theater together in the SF East Bay - say on Sat August 1st, 2026 

CinemaWest Rheem Theatre & Giant Screen
350 Park St, Moraga, CA 94556
https://web.cinemawest.com/sites/Rheem-Theatre/2502
rough cost ~$11-15 

- 'count' as book reading preparation (since the Odyssey was initially passed on orally, then in textual form, before being made as a film, for still extant movie theaters ...

"The Odyssey was initially an oral composition from the 8th or 7th century BCE, with the earliest surviving textual fragments dating back to 3rd-century BCE papyri and a Roman-era clay tablet. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]") ... 

without any movies let alone The Odyssey yet created for or in a #RealisticVirtualEarth #ForFilm #RealisticVirtualEarthForFilm ... (and re #RealisticVirtualEarth, see Peter Norvig's INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS article mentioning a realistic virtual earth for the first time other than WUaS - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306)

... and then maybe reread re Reed "The Odyssey" for a first very real Reedie+ book group meeting at 670 Ridgecrest, Canyon, CA 94516 - with a virtual Zoom all too -  on the 2nd or 3rd Saturday of September 2026 (9/12/ or 9/19/26) ???

Happy Birthdays, Nancy and Stephanie, on Monday August 3, 2026 next week ... 

Reed regards, abolition, warmly,
Scott

which version is most true to the text - There are over 30 movies, short films, and television miniseries adapted from Homer's epic poem, including notable versions like Ulysses (1954), The Odyssey (1997) miniseries, and The Odyssey (2026). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Notable Adaptations L'Odissea (1911): An early silent Italian short film bringing the epic to the screen. Ulysses (1954): A classic feature film starring Kirk Douglas as the Greek hero. L'Odissea / The Odyssey (1968): A well-known European television miniseries adaptation. The Odyssey (1997): An American TV miniseries starring Armand Assante. The Return (2024): A recent film focusing on Odysseus returning to Ithaca, starring Ralph Fiennes. The Odyssey (2026): A modern high-profile cinematic adaptation. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]?

Among screen adaptations, the 1997 television miniseries (The Odyssey) is widely considered by classicists and critics to be one of the most structurally faithful and traditional retellings of Homer’s complete narrative arc. [1]
Comparison of Faithfulness
  • The Odyssey (1997 Miniseries): Follows the expansive, chronological structure closely, covering both his trials at sea and his multi-layered homecoming/slaughter of the suitors.
  • Ulysses (1954): Captures the classic feature-film vibe well with Kirk Douglas, but condenses and alters episodes significantly for a standard runtime. [1]
  • The Return (2024): Intentionally focuses only on the final homecoming section of the poem, offering a localized, stripped-down dramatic reimagining rather than the full epic. [1, 2]
If you would like, I can:
  • Detail the major plot differences between the 1997 miniseries and Homer's text
