So if there are no stars, there can be no Interstellar.
 
Thank you for proving my point.

Trailer for Wildwood, the new film from Laika Studios. Think it looks spectacular!!
 
 
 

How are those potholes working out for you!

If you're not captivated by Interstellar's science you have no head.
If you're not touched by Interstellar's message about love, you have no heart.
If you're not moved by Interstellar's beauty, you have no soul.
 
 
If you don't marvel at the wonder of the Prestige, you have no magic in your life.
 
 
Some watch Inception thinking it a simple heist movie; other's watch Inception and unlock the secrets of the universe. 
 
 
Oh, and if you're bored with Dunkirk, you spit on England and the grave of Winston Churchill, the greatest Briton who ever did live.

I thought I was almost alone in thinking it's much better than the TDK.

Well it won't be Achilles'.

These four different reactions to Edmilson's post here make me wonder. Has there ever been a post on JWFAN so controversial that it's elicited at least one of each of the 12 possible reactions?
 
 

 
What could one possibly say that's so nuanced, yet controversial, that would make 12 different people either laugh, or cry, or be bored, or think, or make angry, sad, surprised, confused, like, love, thank or merely feel neutral about?
 

 
I'll try:
 
While undoubtedly the greatest film composer of all time, the music of John Williams nonetheless represents the ultimate "Gilded Cage" of orchestral composition. Though his mastery of the 19th-century Wagnerian idiom arguably saved the symphony orchestra from cultural irrelevance in the late 20th century, that very success effectively lobotomized the evolution of film scoring by tethering the collective imagination to a safe, nostalgic pastiche of "Greatest Hits" Romanticism. Brian Eno was right, while Williams is an outstanding composer, his crowd-pleasing style represents a kind of manipulative musical fascism. The Mussolini of film composers, if you will.

Which “right” are you speaking of? A moral right? A legal right?
 
Steed answer is correct…it depends. Which frankly is the correct answer to most questions.

Well, yes. And I said as much. But that doesn't change the fact that, IMO, the show suffers from a lack of GOT's humor.
 
Writers can do whatever they wish with the story they're telling, no matter the stakes. The stakes for GOT were pretty high as well. Even world ending, if you included the spectre of the White Walkers. Lots of films and shows balance pathos with humor, even with incredibly high stakes and characters under life-threatening events. 
 
The show's interesting, and often engaging to watch, but I can't say it's as fun as GOT, even the latter seasons.

My favourite Nolan film is The Dark Knight Rises.
