Skaffen-Amtiskaw posted:I remember it coming out and afterwards having a discussion with a friend who hated it because it perpetuated the concept of loving up a planet and then just moving on elsewhere, like one would after pillaging a nice village. I get what he meant, and I agree that it isn't a great way to frame the climate collapse thing as a science and human spirit will persevere (and I don't even know how the Lazarus Project was going to really save us anyway). I like interstellar but it is a very lib-brained movie. The scene at the beginning where McConaughey's character is arguing with the school principal or whoever and he's like "Yeah, poo poo's hosed people are starving we really need farmers right now." And McConaughey's character all indignant is like "My daughter is going to go to COLLEGE!!!"

indigi posted:the problem wasn't a lack of farmers it was that nearly every domesticated crop was susceptible to a rapidly mutating disease I actually looked up that scene real quick since I own the disc and yea he literally tells him "We don't need anymore engineers we need farmers. We didn't run out of TVs we ran out of food." Although it was in regards to his son not his daughter I got that part wrong.The university only takes a handful of applicants and his son didn't pass muster. It's very much a lib-brained experts are going to solve all our problems kind of movie. Still fun, though.

Best part of interstellar was when they leave that guy on the ship by himself for like twenty years and then Matt Damon blows him up. That guy really got the poo poo end of the stick. Man I might rewatch interstellar tonight.

Ya it didn't make much sense but Chris Nolan needed his big bombastic tidal wave scene and it owns. edit: vvvv yeah they left their crewmate alone in the ship while all that was going on. For them it was only a few hours maybe but for him it was a few decades lmfao netizen has issued a correction as of 23:48 on Jul 23, 2023 |

Xaris posted:the coping was a dumb podcast thing he did with Marc Maron and was not like a media spectacle. of course buzzfeed/vox/vice/goons writers are full of the dumbest people who woefully misread anything to generate clickbait for other dumb buzzfeed/vox/vice/goon readers Marc usually does a good job trying to coax it out of them, though. That's why I kind of liked the William Friedkin interview. I'm paraphrasing based on memory but Marc was basically like "Don't you think movies are missing something nowadays?" And Friedkin was like, "Nah, not really, they're just different."

Miss Lonelyhearts posted:Haven't listened to Maron in years and holy poo poo is the Friedkin interview good. He's very inspiring, with a ton of old guy energy and outdated takes like the cops in French Connection era Chicago were at times faking racism to survive, and despite this comes across as intelligent and likable. The way he says the word 'Blue-Ray' is extremely pleasing, just go listen to it. Going to go watch Bug which I've never seen, might rewatch Killer Joe which I did not realize at the time had helped McConaughey escape from romcoms. His story about how he came up with the idea for Cruising is pretty wild, too. Most of Maron's Director interviews are pretty good. Tarantino is a really good one. It's interesting to hear how Directors think about films and how they came into making films and all that. To me, becoming a director seems as improbable as becoming an astronaut.

Broadlybrowsing posted:I almost forgot about how much Once Upon a time really hammered home just how much Tarantino loves feet. I checked out the novel from the library today and got a little chuckle when I noticed the cover has a picture of Margot Robbie with her feet propped up on a stool. I don't even think it's a scene in the movie. He knows everybody knows about his foot fetish and I think he's just playing into it for laughs at this point.

Ken's just better at the job than she was. He's charismatic and has a good report with the contestants on top of being a Jeopardy! legend. Whereas Mayim was never really liked and has a sort of forced lizard-person demeanor. I never got why they kept her around for so long when everyone clearly liked Ken better. It's actually kind of incredible how badly they botched the whole Jeopardy host thing. They knew Trebek had cancer for a long time you'd think they could have handled it better. netizen has issued a correction as of 22:15 on Dec 17, 2023 |

1glitch0 posted:For those not up to date on Jeopardy lore, the former Executive Producer of Jeopardy was Mike Richards, a scummy sort of dude who had previously hosted game shows and aspired to host Jeopardy. It appears that the entire rotating host gimmick was his idea to create an opening/excuse for himself to host a few weeks and then at the end of the process announce himself as the new host. Similar to, as Ken Jennings put it on a podcast, Dick Cheney tasked to find the best Veep for GWB and then concluding it was himself. lol, I had forgotten about that guy. If I remember correctly he was trying to play like he was "stepping up" to fill in for Trebek during this trying time when it was obvious he wanted the job.
