TARS - OMGYES. Love. And CASE too.
For a movie whose entire premise is
time travel & relativity,
there are some serious problems with
the timeline. Not just the ending, but setting up when the whole movie begins. MM is old enough to have been an astronaut before the blight, and enough time has passed that NASA is an underground organization of 8 people AND everyone has forgotten the moon landing happened...but he's only 33? So we're talking maybe 10 years have passed since the end of his flying career and the start of the movie?
Like most Nolan plots, it works emotionally but falls apart as soon as you try to apply logic. But I love it anyway.
Heh, I hadn't even thought of THOSE logic points. But agreed that it works on an emotional level like WHOA.
Also, somewhere along the way, Matthew M became one of my favorite actors. Didn't ever expect THAT to happen.

I'm super excited about this. I've been wanting her to get a superhero movie for ages. Wish Marvel had picked up before now.
reading the link "tent-pole"? Google tells me that means hey expect it to provide huge profits - enough to support the studio. With those kind expectations, does that mean a "mere' success will be a financial failure?
I'm watching the first Sherlock Holmes movie. Gosh, I love Mary. She's not berating Holmes for Watson getting hurt, she's telling him it was Watson's choice and to get out there and solve the problem.
Thanks to conversations many years ago, I cannot see Tom Hardy in Star Trek: Nemesis and not imagine him with a Jilli-esque top hat and parasol to go with that sparkly black gown his character wears.
Teaser for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Since it's directed JJ Abrams, I expect the rest of the film will be *exactly* like this trailer: a series of pretty vignettes that have nothing to do with each other, and make no sense when viewed in sequence.
