Bigotry is abound, apprently, within these boards.  There is a level of supposed tolerance I will have no part of.  Obviously, it seems to be well-embraced here.  I have finally found something more fucked up than what I'm used to.  Congrats. - Ruby

They made a huge deal about hiring a nobel prize winning physicist to consult on the physics then had a fucking breaking wave bearing down on them on a planet covered entirely in water. I was this close to standing up and screaming "What's it fucking breaking on?" in the middle of the cinema

Wait. I saw that movie. Wasn't the water only like two feet deep? It was breaking on the bottom.

It was the gravity that was raising the water. Lifting two feet of water 200 feet in the air. Aside from the fact that there wasn't enough water on the planet to make a wave that big the gravitational force that was holding up a gazillion tons of water but, at the same time, wasn't affecting the characters , robot or spaceship would, presumably have cancelled out most of the friction effect caused by the sea bed.

Maybe I'm off here. Maybe it was totally realistic but everything about it just stuck me as - get the fuck out of here  :eek:

Nah, the science checks out. Check out this thread: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/101543-Calculating-tidal-forces-(Interstellar)

Blade Runner is one of the best movies ever made. Probably THE best sci-fi movie. There. I said it.

Get out of my house.  Right now.  Take your fucking hat and your stupid dog and that thing you thought would get a reaction out of everyone (we've ALL seen THAT, even if yours was a pull-start), and just get the hell out.  Go wander in the desert and tell the coral snakes how fucking awesome that movie was.

It occurs to me that I should do movie and book reviews.

It's basically a documentary about Arizona.
My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.

it's a two hour chase scene with implicit storytelling and fun costumes and I loved every second of it.

It doesn't check out too much. They explicitly say the water planet has 2 or 3 times earth gravity. To leave earth they needed a three stage separation rocket, and to leave this place they just fly off with tiny magic hover jets, but as I said, the science isn't the failing point of this film.

Everyone says that.  I must slay this film, if I am to be a critic.

Also, it gives me old man cred if I compare it unfavorably to movie #2, sort of like endlessly bitching about "new" Aerosmith.
