jules Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 interested but its Christopher Nolan which means it will be probably look amazing but content wise be a bit crap (my fave film of his is still the remake he did, the one with al pacino). the one in Alaska? that's always overlooked when speaking of Nolan. I think this looks pretty cool. I'm not much of a maconuhay fan, but wormholes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadameChaos Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Lorne Malvo in space Things are happening to fast this morning. I can't decide if Billy Bob Thornton is any good in Fargo. He's either pretty good or pretty terrible. Help. Billy Bob is to under acting what Nick Cage is to over acting. Having said that I really enjoy watching him say the word "what" HHHHHHHHwahhhhttt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoodie Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 i hate how i see so many good ideas in movies, but screenwriters or directors or whoever is in charge of this shit decides that a mainstream audience has the mental capacity of twelve year olds and thus the movie needs to spell every little thing out. this applies to exposition, themes, morality, everything. for example, i am not a fan of the part of this trailer where the dude was like, "you're an engineer, but the world doesn't need engineers." and, as if it's not obvious enough, they have to fucking add: "we have plenty of planes blah blah blah... the world needs FOOD." what happened to subtlety in cinema? (translation, because maybe i am being too subtle: SHOW, DON'T TELL LOL) another problem, besides subtlety, is the highly unrealistic dialogue. unless the guy who is saying the aforementioned dialogue went to school for theater and somehow ended up as a government bureaucrat due to nepotism and he just likes being a dramatic piece of shit, then ok that's pretty realistic. but i assume that astronaut recruitment would be way more boring, probably initially done through a letter and then a meeting with a lot of academic jargon. there's a lot of ways it could go down and obviously it's beneficial to lean towards drama over realism because you have to engage the audience. the problem is when it sways too much in the direction of drama, and realism goes out the window. it's a delicate balance that has to be maintained, otherwise the scene or what have you will just look fucking stupid. i guess i'm just really bored with movies that have a cartoonish interpretation of the human experience, one that distills emotional and intellectuality complexity into, "NOW I'M HAPPY, NOW I'M SCARED, NOW I'M RELIEVED, NOW I'M DETERMINED."

autopilot Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 it's a newer nolan film so it will be rife with spectacle and make no sense when you think about the plot a few days after you saw it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but that's the rules of the spectacle. it's easy to talk about balance, but name those balanced spectacular films of such scale? I bet they all had its ridiculous aspects. It's epical and epos goes along with pathos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azatoth Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 A new sci-fi movie is always welcome for me so will be seeing this at some point almost certainly. Will keep my expectations to a minimum, something you learn when it comes to sci-fi on the TV or the cinema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
