That's the change in relativity caused by watching an over-hyped movie that you hope is going to get good at the end. I kinda felt like I aged more than the population who had not seen the show.Quote:

Beyond the plot contrivances, it's infuriating that Nolan insists on spoonfeeding the audience with shitty expository dialog. Trained astronauts with ostensibly PhD level educations wouldn't talk or behave like that. He makes smart movies for dumb folks. It's a shame because Kip Thorne's work is pretty great. I read they'll be able to publish multiple papers on the modeling of Gargantua.Quote:

Leviathan
I saw this movie when it run in an event that included the best films awarded at Cannes. It's a nearly flawless movie that captures the corruption of power relations in today's Russia and how it affects the common man. Beyond that, the acting is awesome and images are superb. I'd mention it's not a commercial film, easily 'readable', and if you pay attention and seriousness definitely you'll be rewarded..
I've been tempted to watch Leviathan. Dion's recommendation gives me pause, but I do believe I'll give it a shot next time I'm in the mood for subtitles.
Personally I'd rather be swallowed by a sea monster.
Show me someone who fancies himself an auteur and I'll show you someone who makes bad movies that a small percentage of the population latch onto in the hope of appearing superior.

My suggestion if you aren't one of the above is if you see the words "Nominated at Cannes" to run as far and as fast in the opposite direction as your fat little legs can carry you.
I don't expect anyone here to agree with me as well,you're you and apparently bleakness is a good way to spend two hours.
