"For all its aspiration to the sublime, Interstellar can’t escape the ridiculous. The characters, and consequently the acting, rarely transcend comic-strip simplicity; Cooper’s family inhabit their own belt of purest corn somewhere between Field of Dreams and Ray Bradbury at his folksiest. Admittedly, there’s something boldly simple about proposing to represent our apocalyptic near future and only showing us a rural patch of America, rather than cutting to the gasping multitudes from Canberra to Kolkata, as Roland Emmerich would have done. Yet my Brit sensibility recoils at the idea of an English director so wholeheartedly embracing American myth that he can cheerfully present us with the idea that the destiny of our entire species is being forged in a Midwestern cornfield."

Last month, during a talk at the New York Film Festival, Paul Thomas Anderson called Nolan's film "beautiful," urging audiences to " go see it in IMAX." And now Quentin Tarantino has put his very vocal support behind the picture too.“It’s been a while since somebody has come out with such a big vision to things,” Tarantino told The Guardian. “Even the elements, the fact that dust is everywhere, and they’re living in this dust bowl that is just completely enveloping this area of the world. That’s almost something you expect from Tarkovsky or Malick, not a science fiction adventure movie.”

not that i think they're being disingenuous per se, but if you want hollywood to fund your indulgent 3-hour intellectual big budget epic, you'd gain nothing by telling hollywood they made a mistake by funding someone else's

oh yeah, i agree 100% -- just saying that "tarantino said it was a masterpiece" should be taken with several grains of kosher salt

huh i didn't realize nolan had dual citizenship until i looked it up just now. i guess we have to take some credit.

Tarantino said Woody Allen's Jason Biggs/Cristina Ricci movie was a masterpiece iirc
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 6 November 2014 22:42 (nine years ago) link
i do appreciate that when prodded tarantino (like scorsese when he was doing those reviews for directv) will focus on some novel detail that you can genuinely believe he got off on - that the idiosyncrasies of their lists are due to some personal fixations, not that they're actually trying to make some Top Ten everyone would agree on.
― da croupier, Thursday, 6 November 2014 22:44 (nine years ago) link
sadly it doesn't look like scorsese's thumbs up to spanglish (which really stuck out surrounded by more predictable tcm recommendations in his column) is online
― da croupier, Thursday, 6 November 2014 22:48 (nine years ago) link
I think that for most directors getting a film greenlit and then completed w/o studio meddling, talent meltdowns, budget overruns, and at least 33% of your original vision intact is grounds for a "masterpiece" label.

that was supposed to read "just got back from the ol' multiplex"
annnnnnyway this was very very silly (nolan doesn't really have any command of tone) but i didn't dislike it. some cool ideas/visuals and a wisecracking robot, can't really hate that.
― Sonic Dieways (latebloomer), Friday, 7 November 2014 04:26 (nine years ago) link
holy fuck humor in a nolan movie??

Nolan should only make batman movies, maybe. I can't get excited about going to see this.

I think McConaughey was a wise choice for the lead, he makes all the portentousness go down easy and smooth

are there aliens in this movie? i know there's dust.

tthe first 2 Batmans and Inception are possibly the worst big-budget films i've ever seen.
― things lose meaning over time (Dr Morbius), Friday, 7 November 2014 06:16 (nine years ago) link
Inception was bad, but bad with a barely passing grade: a D+ or C-. Not walk out of the theater in disgust bad.
