INTERSTELLAR TV Spot #8 May Be The Greatest TV Spot Of All Time

The 7th. Forgot.

Even the bliss of afterlife won't compare to this trailer. Praise Nolan Christ.

@MantiniumMan

I think you just proved my point. Blockbusters are great and thoughtful movies are great, but trying to make both into one creates movies that are too dumb to be thoughtful and too dense to be base entertaining.

The philosophically interesting stuff about Inception (the vastness of the subconscious mind/logistics of shared dreaming) couldn't ever be properly explored because they had to get on with the running-jumping-shooting, and the fun stuff about Inception (the "idea heist") got dragged down into a boring malaise of dream mechanics.

Nolan is unquestionably ambitious (which wins tons of points from me), and he's one of the best writers of dialogue in Hollywood, but he gets himself tied up into knots of narrative that he can't properly navigate.

Don't try to make this an argument because I have blasphemed against St. Christopher or something. I said it will probably be a good movie, like most of his movies are, but in general they are not smart enough to be smart and not fun enough to be fun.

ME WANT SEE NOW!!!!

The most thought provoking film of the year.

Its a shame that in reality we have all but abandoned space exploration.
Like seriously we only managed to put a man on the moon and that was in 1969, its 2014 and we haven't gone any further......the moon isn't even a planet its just a rock in our orbit.

@Marfooio

I feel like you're minimizing the effort and investment required for manned space travel, ignoring the progress that has been made in the past 45 years in terms of man's space presence, minimizing the value of unmanned space travel, and relegating the Moon (which is more like a part of a "dual-planet" with Earth than it is "just a rock in our orbit").

The space program should certainly be funded more, but the and discoveries and advances we continue to make on the ground are the kinds of things that will allow us to do more in space than just plant flags when we finally do go.

@MantiniuMan

More than directors, I get excited by concepts/premises I've never seen before or unique approaches to established genres. Without hearing the premise of the film first, I'm not sure there is any director that would sell me on a movie just by their very presence on the title screen. Maybe Aronofsky or Jonze, but even then, I didn't bother seeing Noah.

If you'd asked me for names 10 years ago, I might have said Guy Ritchie, 15 years ago, I might have said Tarantino. But once I figure out the pattern/idiosyncrasies/personal hangups of a director, I tend to lose the spark of excitement in their work in abstract.

Hyperbolize much?

@MantiniuMan

Jaded isn't the right word. It's just that once I get a good understanding of someone's psychology, they cease to surprise (and therefore interest) me. I was fairly excited for Inception, but (while it was an okay movie) it confirmed pretty much everything I already knew about Nolan, and the mental model I had of him.

I think the difference here is more in the use of the word "excited". As far as movies go, I don't get your kind of excited very often.

Can't [frick]ing wait.

Best TV spot ever? What a joke. Just like Matthews Lincoln commercials. This guy is so full of himself. Note to yourself Matt, don't embarrass your self with anymore speeches to college football teams.

Nolan=Greatest director of all time.

Greatest spot?? I think you just have a hard on for Nolan. Nolanites could never see anything wrong with Nolans stuff, and always over exaggerate the quality

Did anyone see that baseball game last night? Damn that was fantastic. yoss, did you get a chance to see it?

Yes. I saw it. We can all move on. ND plays to FSU tomorrow.


Man, life kind of sucks right now.
