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.

Yeah the scripts needed some minor tinkering, but not as much tinkering as the robotic acting did.

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?

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

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.

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

It's Western Week in film class! I liked Rio Bravo a whole lot. Really interesting plot.

I'd be so bored. For some reason American history is just kind of dull to me. The Civil War is kind of interesting, but European wars from that same period capture my interest far more. And cowboys just make me yawn. I mean, Unforgiven was cool, but only because it kind of transcended your average cowboy movie. But I've just never gotten the appeal of Clint Eastwood or John Wayne westerns, or Young Guns, etc.
