Interstellar: Public Safety Notice: Spoilers for All The Dumb
Went to see Interstellar last night.
This movie is not just dumb, it's fractally dumb. Any element of the story, held up to the light, reveals the dumbness of the whole in all of its transcendent dumbness.
I'm tempted to make a list of dumb, but it would just take too long,
It would be as if I attempted to take quantum data (whatever that is) from a black hole and then translate it into binary code and then program it, a single character at a time, in MORSE CODE and then have you translate it back from MORSE CODE into... well, quantum data. Do you have any idea how long that would take?
It would be as if I attempted to land a spacecraft on a solid cloud. A cloud which was floating. A solid cloud which was floating. Which looked like rock. But was a sold cloud. A floating solid cloud.
It would be as if I attempted to describe a world which was covered in water to a depth of, oh, let's say 18 inches, can develop tidal waves a mile high with a frequency of aproximately 30 minutes.
And on. And on. And on.
Basically, I challenge anyone to come up with a moment of not-dumb in the 167 minute running time. This is a movie which makes Prometheus look like time well spent.
