I watch them for entertainment, too, but my entertainment is reduced when scientific plausibility is eschewed in favor of expedient hocus pocus. To me, this was particularly egregious in Interstellar, where good science drove most of the storytelling right up until they needed a magical solution to provide a happy ending. The final reel was complete nonsense.
So it's not actually the physics that you have a problem then. Your issue is the imaginings of what can happen relative to the known science available. Isn't that essentially the definition of the science fiction genre?
well, I do have a problem with the physics of a physical object traversing the event horizon of a black hole twice completely intact, but that wasn't really my point - I'm just saying that Interstellar is actually less deep than The Martian because Interstellar decides to be Star Trek in the final reel just so Matthew McConaughey can receive a hero's welcome. again, I enjoyed both movies, I just found the end of Interstellar too facile and mystical.
I know you're thinking of the prostitute from Total Recall, but let me tell you, she's no Eccentrica Gallumbits, and probably wouldn't warrant a second glance on Eroticon 6.
My son who has yet to be alive for a Fire road win really likes Minions. I think that is an apt movie for many of the people hired by Hauptman to run the Fire. They destroy everything in their path, intentionally or not, and it is not a good look for the leader. I seem to be watching that at least once a day. Or at least parts of it.
No, I was not thinking of any movie specifically, and certainly Total Recall. Oh, I know my Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Watch "The Fundamentals of Caring" on Netflix with the wife over the weekend. Not bad, had some funny parts.
Fine art compared to ANYTHING. Jules and Jim? Did Jules and Jim "Do America"? Bah! I rest my case. Fanny and Alexander? You said fanny, huh, huh, huh Godfather? Butthead would kick him in the 'nads. Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? You said coming, huh, huh, huh! 8 1/2? 8 1/2 inches, huh, huh, huh! The 400 Blows? Beavis can't even get one. Breaking the Waves? Breaking the wind, huh, huh, huh! Edit: this might be the most juvenile thing I have ever done (with the possible exception of "fun with sporks")
