When McConaughey reunites with his daughter at the end of Interstellar, doesn't he only stay with her for like a minute before walking off or am I remembering that wrong?

That sucks, that was a movie I was sort of kind of looking forward to watching on Netflix next year

I don't read books that much, but I finished The Martian (by Andy Weir) in a day and it was loving amazing. I watched the movie a couple days later and realized the only reason it's any good is because Ridley Scott relied heavily on the writing and didn't do anything that couldn't have been done by even shittier directors. The novel is way more exciting and interesting, and I will goon on about it until the day I die.

Marvel movies are all kinda "meh" but I can't understand why everyone loves The Winter Soldier so much. I think it just draws parallels to real life American corruption, and as a dirty foreigner I just can't identify with it.

Guardians of the Galaxy was loving hilarious, what the hell is wrong with you people.

It was super long too, or was a regular length and time dilation or whatever made it seem like 12 hours
i feel like they made it that long because of how the movie was like "see, black holes warp time and now Matt is in the past talking with his daughter because he got sucked into one!!!"

which make perfect sense because like a black hole, Interstellar sucked

essentially yes. i think he walks in, sits down, says "hi, i was right" and walks out, leaving her to die of cancer or something, i don't know, we were throwing popcorn and poo poo at each other by the end

She sends him away because she's dying and doesn't want him to have to watch her go, plus he's outside her family now and she wants to be with her kids and grandkids

Then he chills in the museum for a while with the robot (robots were the best part of the movie) and hops into a stolen ship to go rescue Anne Hathaway, who humanity was apparently just going to leave on the planet she went to

Nolan was asked about the ending and apparently said that the wormhole closed, meaning Matt McConaughey hopped into a ship and asphyxiated a few days later, instead of what was 100% obviously intended, that a few months go by from Anne Hathaway's perspective but eventually Coop would arrive to rescue her/ join her/ whatever

Some goon in C&D argued for the idea that Coop BELIEVED and that the ending was about HOPE or some poo poo like that, instead of Nolan just not remembering lol

This is a risky one since Wes Anderson is really hit-or-miss with people

I liked it a lot, Moonrise Kingdom which he made before GBH was better

The book has a unit of measurement called "pirate-ninjas". It's exactly the kind of garbage that people who follow I loving Love Science on Facebook and read XKCD love because it lets them feel like they're smart and know a lot.

The Force Awakens was thoroughly average and would be considered pretty forgettable if it wasn't a Star Wars film.

I like Wes Anderson because he made Natalie Portman show her naked white girl butt* but I sure would appreciate it if he would make at least one movie intended for fully functioning adults.

You're absolutely right, but the only reason "pirate-ninjas" stands out is because it's the dumbest example of how the author tries to get into technical detail without boring the poo poo out of the reader. Aside from that, it's written very well with an interesting story. As someone who dropped out of engineering and doesn't read books, I had a lot of fun with this sci-fi novel so shut your face.

If I can say "no" to both that's a good movie IMO but I guess others watch movies hoping for some eye-opening revelation IDK.

The Dark Knight was way too drat long, could have saved Harvey Dent/Two Face for a sequel instead of shoehorning him in with The Joker, and although Heath Ledger was alright in it, people emptied and shriveled up their e-balls ejaculating all over the Internet like his performance was the second, third, and fourth coming of Jesus Christ.

It was quite boring.
