A Christopher Nolan Sci-Fi movie? Yes please. Interstellar movie trailer.


I am a huge sci-fi fan. I am also a huge Christopher Nolan fan. The trailer for Interstellar doesn't reveal too much about the movie and I kind of like that. The trailer for Inception was similar in that sense.

If you read this interview with Christoper Nolan he talks about using real locations rather than CG.

Meanwhile, Viggo Mortensen throws some shade towards Peter Jackson for using CG too much. I kind of agree with him. Someone remind me why the Lovely Bones needed CG again?

Now for some random thoughts:

I need to go to the laundromat to wash sleeping bags for camping next weekend but I'm being extremely lazy. Someone motivate me otherwise I'm going to sit on my ass all day watching Bar Rescue.

For some reason there is a street sweeper going up and down my street every couple of minutes. I think he's on trip #4 by now.

There have been so many college graduations happening around Boston and I am thrilled because that means I'll get a few months peace from the drunk college parade. Let's celebrate! (like responsible adults)

I love space movies but I prefer to stay right here on earth thanks

I watched Europa Report on Netflix and I thought it was a pretty good space sci-fi. The one thought that continually crossed my mind while watching the movie was that there is no amount of money you could pay me to go on a ground breaking space mission. I guess I'm a wuss or I have too much of a wild imagination.


Beautiful but terrifying.

If someone in a space movie volunteers to go outside to "fix" something or to "investigate" I start panicking a little. I want to tell them that this is not going to end well but since it's a movie I just sit there freaking out for them on the inside.

I think the most panic inducing moment in a space movie for me is the scene in Event Horizon when Baby Bear is possessed and hits the outer door lock button. He then comes to and quickly realizes what will happen to him. I still freak out no matter how many times I've seen it.
