Jeez McP

Maybe the aliens will all look like Woody Harrelson.

So far, Nolan has listed Star Wars, Blad Runner, 2001, and The Right Stuff as influences, and has said, "The further that you travel out into the universe, the more you realise [your humanity's] in [your heart].”

I assume he followed all that up with an apologetic "I have to go now, my planet needs me," and promised to be back in time for the premier. But I don't know.

This movie is starting to piss me off.

It's like rain on my wedding day.

We could all learn a thing or two about internetting from Ruddo.

I thought that was Mark Wahlberg

Seriously, what the fuck does that even mean? That's competing with that dumbass "Love is the only thing that transcends time and space." line from the trailer in terms of sheer platitudinous bullshit.

It sounds like something my stepson would have said just before whipping a rock at a cat.

Empire have a huge Interstellar feature in this new issue, and a big West Wing retrospective...I may have to buy it..

You're right. Movies are too smart these days. I'm sick of turning my brain on at all. Why can't there be more movies that are just idiotic but really well crafted and pretty?

there are damn smart movies that could function just as well as plays given the camera's status as a non-entity, and the reliance on dialogue and staging as the sole facets of craft. but are those great films or great screenplays?

Can't they be both?

Great. Alex stole the opening for my Transformers review.
