ah well okay, if he set himself up for comparisons then I agree with your initial post.

I didn't notice any similarity besides possible cinematography techniques or a vague categorization due to the film also being surreal.
It is not comparable in the same sense as moon or solaris.

Speaking of Christopher Nolan, I was just watching Batman Begins, and I'm vaguely sure that when he hits those three keys on his piano to open the Batcave, he plays a tri-tone. It also kind of sounds like it might be the riff from "Black Sabbath", which might make sense, since the lyrics could definitely be made to suggest Batman. Would anyone who actually has an ear for this kind of thing care to comment?

He hits D-E twice (one an octave higher than the other) and then G-A. No tritones involved there. I really don't know anything about Black Sabbath. Although, the notes you hear in the film are actually a semitone lower than the notes he's playing. I wonder why.

Didn't realize you were big on conspiracy theories Batlord.

I just thought it would have been awesome if Nolan managed to work in a sneaky Sabbath reference. Alas, the dream is over.

(I've also cleaned up human waste at work - and while I did lose a little more faith in humanity, I remained mostly indifferent.)

I was able to shrug off the bleeding. No woman is a stranger to that.

The bloody eyeball? Meh.

The maggot that fell out of her vag? Ok, that's a little gross.

Pulling out her own tooth (with crunchy side effects)? Oh... oh god...

Missing patches of hair? Meh.

Pulling off her own necrotic fingernail(s)? NOPE NOPE NOPE I'M OUTTA HERE


I didn't finish the film. I might try it again tonight, but it was really... really too much for me.
update: I finished the film. It ends so stupidly that it made me wonder if the writers/directors were like

*hits blunt* so... where are we going with this?"
"I don't actually know"
"What if.... what if she's like, a zombie?"
"Duuuuuude"

Spoiler for Minor Spoiler:
That entire scene when they got to that first planet, and then started talking about the planet from the ship, then landed on it...that whole entire thing was like an epic journey.


Also all you need is kill is one of the best books I have ever read. Edge of Tomorrow is not 1/8 as appealing as the novel is.
....really not sure how anyone could ever actually think this, stop trying to be like a pompous critic and open your damn eyes.

the acting was phenomenal, but the script wavered a bit at the end and "love transcends time and space" was kind of a silly copout, but overall Interstellar was fantastic. It would've been a lot worse if McConaughey hadn't absolutely killed it.

Yeah it kinda collapses under it's own weight. Still appreciate the big picture concepts
