I didn't care for Big Hero 6. I don't think the kids did either.

I was thinking of taking Timmy to see it.  He's been wanting to go see a movie, it's the newest Disney movie, I thought it would be a fit.

Suitable / enjoyable for a 4 year old?

21 Things in Interstellar That Don't Make Sense.

I will still watch it once it's out on blu ray, to form my own opinion, though chances are that at that point it'll be positive surprise.

That article loses on point 1, for one simple reason: most beer is not made out of wheat, but barley. Also, you can make perfectly serviceable crap American lager mostly from corn. It'll be fucking awful (chicha), but if you juice it with other fermentables, it's technically drinkable.

I didn't want to read Malthus spoliers, but what is it about Interstellar that is so bad without ruining the movie?

I was looking forward to going and seeing this...

Wait - Ide, have you seen it? Do you think it is completely terrible?

He gave it a B+, so there's really no telling.

Aww, the Downton Abbey's season is over.

I gather the complaint is it gets some basic science kind of wrong and/or a somewhat unbelievable plot.

Damn. I was hoping he hated it.

A sci-fi movie that gets science wrong.

Well if it was aiming for 2001, then it shouldn't get basic science wrong...

I still want to see it, but not sure if it'd be worth the hassle of getting a babysitter for...

Railway Man- Kind of an odd film. Starts looking like some kind of romantic movie but then there's some shocking shift to a Japanese POW camp movie...except the entire synopsis of the film is thats what it is about so...not so shocking.
I wonder how he got the woman at the start by being a boring guy. hmm...
Yes. That is the question I take away from it. The POW and meeting his ex-torturer stuff, i.e. the main point of the film, just feels rushed.
The romance should have been kept to the side and the focus kept more on subsequent meetings and friendship building with the evil Japanese guy.

Beneath Hill 60- A WW1 film that doesn't suck and doesn't feel the need to moan about teh ev0l British or any of that sort of thing. A rarity.
Its not the best thing ever but it was an enjoyable little film.

Yeah right, and next you will propose to have Brad Pitt as lead.

It is surprising that Interstellar got the science wrong since they had a scientist as an executive producer and advisor to make sure that didnt happen.

This short article seems to suggest that it might be the audience that didnt get the science rather than the other way around.

You know what would be great?  WWII tankette movie.  It would be like Saving Private Ryan meets Waiting for Godot.  An Italian crew of two drives their tankette forward until they roll it into a ditch.  The rest of the movie would be them smoking cigarettes and trying to surrender to who ever happens by.
