Ironically they decide to poke holes in his movie by calling out something that is both explained in the movie and by general relativity. Out of all the things to ask ...

What happened to Uwe Boll??? Not that I care or anything...just glad he's "retired" (I hope)...

The last I heard of him...he was trying to solicit funds for a new movie and selling shares in it for $33 each... Two years later...it came up with a whopping $66...

INTERSTELLAR And The Death Of The Penis

From the outside the tube would look like yet another space dick, but from within we see it as the cradling embrace of a vagina.

Well, that's one way to think about the film's imagery, I guess.

Juliette Binoche Says Her Performance In 'Godzilla' Made Quentin Tarantino Cry

"[Quentin] Tarantino said to me, 'That was the first time I've ever cried during a 3D blockbuster. I had to take off my glasses to wipe away my tears.' I took it as a compliment," Binoche told Indiewire. As for the experience of shooting the movie—which she notes she only took thanks to a "beautiful letter" from director Gareth Edwards—she didn't seem to care for it too much, particularly given how little there was for her to do.

"[Laughs] I don't know how much fun you can have when you have to die in two seconds, and you're the one real woman character and you're dead in three minutes and 45 seconds," she explained.

See...I do not trust any of you to actually be honest in regards to this movie.

Here's honesty for you....

The really huge issues it really tackles it telegraphs like a mofo.
The really huge issues it doesn't really tackle would have been a FAR MORE interesting movie.
The special effects were great but it's 2014.... EVERY special effect movie is great so who cares? Plus the special effects that are really REALLY great are on screen for.... mmmmm... ABOUT 90 SECONDS of a THREE HOUR MOVIE so get that nonsense argument outta my face.
For a movie that long it drags out the somewhat meaningless exposition and meanders and drags on the somewhat meaningless "character" "development".
The music was obvious. tick tock tick tock tick tock.

It's Christopher Nolan. It's well made, well cast, well acted, well crafted all the way around. This is a really really really solid 7-11 hotdog. In fact this might be the best 7-11 hotdog of the year.





But it's still a 7-11 hotdog.


Also I'm either REALLY REALLY DUMB or REALLY REALLY SMART because all I heard about this movie was how tough it was to wrap your mind around and how the complicated narrative really made it a tough watch.

Pish Posh.

I ain't mad at this movie. I'm mad at the people who watched it.

 

[Dr. Naysay]

And another thing...

who cares if the science is "legit". It's a movie about spaceships and wormholes. It's magic. I don't care if the "science adds up". Just like I don't care about the details of how I'm able to type my useless thoughts into all of your eyeholes from the comfort of my home.

As far as I'm concerned and for the purposes of my personal narrative it might as well be MAGIC.

Watch: Explore Orson Welles' Life And Work In Trailer For Documentary 'Magician'

Featuring input from Martin Scorsese, Richard Linklater, Peter Bogdanovich, Steven Spielberg, Paul Mazursky, Walter Murch, and more, the film promises to be a fascinating look into the enigma of Welles, but also how, even all these years on, he's still underappreciated. Outside of "Citizen Kane," he's the man who delivered "Lady From Shanghai," "The Trial," "The Magnificent Ambersons," and "Touch Of Evil," and even if he was never quite embraced by Hollywood, he loved the movie world all the same.

Review: Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar' Starring Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway & More

After all the jaw-dropping cinematography and carefully-buffed CGI, in fact, "Interstellar" winds up fitting into a fairly narrow and deeply tired sub-genre alongside films like "Frequency," "Contact," and even "Field of Dreams": Dad Issues from Dimension X. It's impossible to not admire the technical achievements of "Interstellar," but as Michael Bay and so much more modern moviegoing has proved, rapturous visuals can't make up for a ruptured script. Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" spends hundreds of millions to take the audience on a journey to the farthest parts of the cosmos ... so they can be told sentiments as close, and as cheap, as any of the offerings at your local Hallmark card retailer.

There you go, JD.

Quentin Tarantino Compares 'Interstellar' To Andrei Tarkovsky & Terrence Malick

Last month, during a talk at the New York Film Festival, Paul Thomas Anderson called Nolan's film "beautiful," urging audiences to " go see it in IMAX." And now Quentin Tarantino has put his very vocal support behind the picture too.

“It’s been a while since somebody has come out with such a big vision to things,” Tarantino told The Guardian. “Even the elements, the fact that dust is everywhere, and they’re living in this dust bowl that is just completely enveloping this area of the world. That’s almost something you expect from Tarkovsky or Malick, not a science fiction adventure movie.”

‘Phantom Of The Opera’ Series In Works With Tony Krantz, Jean-Pierre Jeunet & Endemol

The classic French tale of The Phantom Of The Opera is getting a re-imagining as a TV series project written by Tony Krantz, directed by endemol big logoFrench director Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amelie), and produced by Endemol Studios, the Los Angeles-based studio operation of Endemol North America.

Described as a drama brimming with tortured love affairs, sex, murder and mystery among the international jet set at the dawn of the Jazz Age, the Phantom Of The Opera series is set in 1919 against a backdrop of the Paris Peace Conference. The story centers on a British World War I fighter pilot with burns covering half of his body. He finds himself at the center of a string of murders that threatens to embroil the city’s gathered world leaders. The “Opera” in this re-imagining is an opera house that is home to the hottest nightclub in Paris — think Studio 54 — whose American Josephine Baker-esque headliner finds herself in the cross hairs of the serial killer.

In for Jeunet.
