Re-watched Interstellar

[cockerpunk]

speaking of old sci fis ... i was just recently rewatching contact.

what a good fucking movie it is.

my favorite part is that its a movie written by scientists. and throughout, there is just a heavy, heavy, skepticism of engineers. lol. like all the scientists are doing science stuff, and then in the back corner, hadden, the engineer, is doing something useful, but also nefarious. always nefarious.

Adding it to the list. Are you the same dude who used to make YouTube videos about pump guns?

Arrival > Contact

Arrival > Contact

arrival is a movie that will make me cry immediately.

its a fantastic movie.


i wouldn't put them in the same category besides sci fi though. contact is about one woman's struggle with the limitations of science, and her personal experience, and how one finds truth, and the arrival is a movie that asks a very specific question: "if you knew it would end badly, would you do it anyway?" which is an exceedingly painful question.

I watched Arrival with my wife a few weeks ago. It was her first time seeing it. I'm a huge Denis Villeneuve fanboy, and I think this was the first movie of his I saw.

I've never seen Interstellar, but my first boss is apparently related to the physicist who came up with the theory. From what he was telling me, they kinda butchered the science. Still said it was a good movie though.

Never see it but I will give it a go thanks.
