I have the same issue with Sons of Anarchy.

Dudes haven't slept in 3 years and the only time they do is when they get thrown into jail.

The Law of Conservation of Detail

You don't have to show us but you could atleast give an hint of time passing. Kids are also a big time sink in one's life and yet they are ignored the moment they don't really fit the plot.

Another cartoon from the 50s I bet they don't show on Saturday mornings any more.

Tom & Jerry - Blue Cat Blues. Mysogeny, alcoholism, suicide.

Tom falls in love with a gold-digging puss, sells himself into slavery, takes to drink, decides to commit suicide.

Jerry is the sympathetic friend trying to stop Tom from going down the drain - until he discovers his GF is also cheating on him. Then, he decides to join him.

They sit on the railroad tracks, you hear a train comming - and then, it ... ends.  :cry:

I think I've seen that on Cartoon Network fairly recently.

Heh in "Feline Follies" (from 1919) Felix the Cat inhales gas after learning his girlfriend has a dozen kittens (THE STRUMPET!):

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Will Interstellar suck or rock?  I have no idea, but it's really fucking long.

 :lol:  I was reading some early reviews, and that was the first thing I thought.

I read a review that summed up Interstellar as silly, scientifically badly researched, overwrought and pseudo-dramatical, but hillarious fun because of it which actually might make me watch it, even though it's a Nolan movie.

Ide is gonna hate it.

Needs more long takes and better costume design.
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.

You joke, but this is in fact entirely the case, as one of its most important scenes is rendered merely good instead of outstanding when--just when you think it's in it for the long haul--Nolan decides it's time for unbelievably tone-deaf cut.  And there's a part [spoiler]in the utopian future of the film's avoided dystopian future[/spoiler] where some nameless three-line extra is wearing an evidently off-the-rack suit from J.C. Penney.  Something I also wear when necessary, but I'm a failed lawyer in 2014, not a gosh darned [spoiler]space colonist.[/spoiler]

Overall, however, it's very good, but for me a little disappointing: for the first time in fifteen years, Nolan's made a non-Batman movie clumsier than his best Batman movie.
