I finally watched Tenet since it's on HBO now and I thought it was pretty good. Unlike Interstellar it doesn't feel like it thinks it's super profound or anything, and it's just fun to watch without worrying too much about whether it actually makes sense or anything.

i liked interstellar's attempt to portray real hard sci-fi stuff like time dilation and our best idea of what a black hole really looks like. i hated that the big reveal at the end was "love is something you can feel no matter how far you are separated in time or space, so matthew mcconaughey can use the power of love to break through dimensional barriers and literally travel through time" like uhhh if we're really doing this stupid thing about feelings being omnipresent and eternal and that being the secret to time travel, how about ones other than love? my intense disgust for richard stallman persists forever across the universe. sign me up for the department of temporal investigations

not only does the power of spite cross space and time, it can even be felt in other dimensions. spite can even escape black holes

duz posted:it was annoying the signal from the time dilation planet wasnt accurate everything about the time dilation planet and what happened there was absurd. that close to the black hole the time dilation effects would practically be visible to humans on the surface, and even then to make the decision to land you'd have to ignore the multiple planet-spanning tsunamis that should have been visible via telescope. also the signal would have been so redshifted that there's no way multiple cosmologists wouldn't have realized exactly what had happened on the surface (also was the beacon not timestamped??). also if they couldn't transmit out to the other planets/relay station from orbit around Gargantua why could the beacon on the planet transmit to the ship when they'd just come out of the wormhole (not to mention that it would have been baked raw from radiation)

i got super hammered for interstellar but i didnt think love had anything to do with it and the whole thing was just about occupying multiple places in time and space simultaneously.

interstellar is the movie where he tells the robot to turn down his comedy by 20% when the robot makes a joke about blowing him out an airlock or some poo poo right? that was p. funny.
