American Sniper, 8/10. Good movie, another movie that makes me thank military service people as I definitely wouldn't want to do it.

I just watched Interstellar, and thought it was really good, great even.

That last post did not adequately convey my thoughts.
You guys know I love shitty movies. Mostly I just have them on while I'm screwing around, whether it be browsing the forum, or doing other things around the house. And many I honestly miss some of. Rarely am I riveted by a movie. I was riveted. Watched every damn second.
Interstellar 10/10

Someone asked me about that by a Redbox last night (if I had seen it and if it was good). I hadn't but glad you enjoyed it that much. I may have to check it out. I'm thinking that you and I are a lot alike but that I'm more retarded or something
That's What it Does!
This guy who is some kind of Astronomer did a great write-up of some of the Science of that movie (as he has done with other films like Gravity). Some really cool insight here along with some criticism:

One area they nailed in INTERSTELLAR is time dilation. That is, in relativity, time can move at different rates for two different observers. When you are moving close to the speed of light, or are experiencing very strong gravity, time moves slower for you than it does for a distant observer. This happens on Miller’s planet (the planet with the huge waves), because it is so close to the supermassive black hole (nicknamed Gargantua). In fact, this is the main reason Gargantua exists in the film — they wanted a device whereby one hour of time for the astronauts would equal seven years back on Earth.
In addition to an obstacle for the protagonists, this serves as a metaphor for parenthood — you blink your eye and your kids are grown up. In fact, in the original draft of the script, the time shifts are much more extreme. But the time lags in the film are about as far as you can push things with a supermassive black hole. It has to be spinning near the speed of light to achieve that effect.
Drinks?
Holy crap you actually liked a good movie for once. Is this an April fools joke?

What good movies did I not like? Are we referring to Guardians where I gave it a, :gasp:, lowly 7?

No but that was a travesty. I was more referring to your B movie fanboi status.

Well, unlike some of you miserly ********, I have the ability to sit back and enjoy/laugh at a campy B movie.

You know, they astrophysicist helped come up with the LED program they used to mimic the black hole, and how that would look in real life. The physicists wrote some papers on this, and got them published. It was a pretty INCREDIBLE feet of science to put this together. The entire movie was pretty cool in how it illustrated time dilation, bringing light (no pun intended) to most people in/on how this works. I was thoroughly excited to go see the movie.
Then came the ending.....where they took science and everything they worked for...and threw it out the window. Was a weird choice, imo. But, in movies sometimes the rule of cool is MUCH more entertaining than reality. Actually, I can say that MOST of the time, the rule of cool is better than reality.

Yeah he brings up those points in the write-up as well. Sounds like Nolan took a lot of liberties towards the end that subdued the science so audiences could connect with it more. For example he points out that their ship needed a multi-stage rocket to escape Earth's gravity but easily left the water planet just using thrusters. It appears the original draft of the script was more scientifically sound, but some elements were sacrificed in later versions.

Summer School- 7/10
Used to love this when i was younger but the film really hasnt aged that well. But always nice to go back and look at Kirstie Ally when she was hot and who can forget agent Gibbs in his prime. The one thing i did notice was the appearance of Allotta Fagina in the film. lol
