Memento from a stylistic sense; it's basically the perfect film for a media class to study.
I'm a massive fan of Inception and Dark Knight though. Far better films as far as mainstream media is concerned.
I forgot about inception. Good shit.

The Dark Knight because of the memes, but otherwise Interstellar.
This is pretty much my answer. I kind of wish he hadn't tried to go into dimensional physics at the end though because it doesn't really work. It took a couple reads of the "Science of" book for me to really get a proper grasp on that stuff and it really does just hinge on lying back and accepting it rather than trying to poke holes in the logic.
Shame, too, because I loved the film up until that point. The FX were on point both CG and practical, the soundtrack was phenomenal, the performances weren't half-bad, the accurate renditions of space travel, relativity and astrophysics were really good for me, but trying to make him survive the black hole really destroyed the amazing foundation everything had built. Having him die would have put a lot more impact on the ending of the film and leave people more satisified than the hoops jumped through to make him survive.
Idunno, I don't like bullshit magitechhandwavium science in films that have already gone out of their way to be scientifically accurate. I'll accept the stuff on Earth and the wormhole (Though why saturn?) but the ghost thing was really pushing it.
I mean, it is science fiction. And to be fair to the movie we don't really know what happens inside a black hole.
Prevailing theory is that as you accelerate towards the singularity, you hit relativistic velocities (assuming you don't die from heat, radiation, gravity etc) and your perception of time slows relative to the universe so that you effectively get to watch all of time pass you by. But of course you'd die before you even hit the accretion disc. That aside, it's more the lack of consistency. If you go all out of your way to do the maths and insist on an accurate depiction of a black hole, it feels kind of cheap to then have the story resolved by what amounts to a cheap deus ex machina. The entire premise felt really hamfisted and forced in at the last minute for a happy/ bittersweet ending rather than an integral part of the story from the beginning.

I'd say winter begins November 20th, spring begins March 1st, and summer begins June 1st
but why
because that's how the fucking months work
december is cold and winterlike, google image search "december" and see if you see leaves and turkeys or snow and christmas trees
but didn't you just say it has nothing to do with the weather
it has to do with the months and what they represent
I'm pretty sure it's a climate change andbiological response to that change in many organisms caused by a 23.5o tilt of the Earth's axis, which has absolutely nothing to do with what humans make up the keep track of time.
dude go to google images and punch in december
Cool.
That doesn't address the fact that seasons are a scientific concept derived from the way physics works and not to line up with holidays.
I mean, if I type star in on google I get a five pointed thing instead of balls of plasma. That doesn't suddenly mean a star is now a five sided cartoon drawing.
stars arent months dude wtf
I'll put it in simple terms for the scientifically illterate then.
type in december on google gives public perception of it, not what it actually is
type in star on google gives public perception of it, not what it actually is
There is no correlation between winter and december. In fact, over thousands of years, the seasons shift and eventually winter will take place in june. Because they're a thing derived from the way a big rock spins and are not in nice and easy units for human convenience.
lmao what
months arent in space
Okay, time for stuff I learnt when I was 10.
The Earth tilts towards the sun, meaning as it rotates, certain oarts face closer towards the sun than others. When the northern hemisphere (Europe, America, most of Asia) faces, it is summer. When it is further away, it is winter, because there is less heat. The only reason the seasons are predictable at all are because we have a large natural satellite keeping the tilt and rotation stable.
This effect has absolutely nothing to do with the calender. It is a completely separate entity that isn't there to be in convenient groupings of December 1st to March 31st, or whatever. Calenders exist to help us keep track of time, the seasons exist becauseof the way physics works. They are two seperate entities that don't correlate with each other.
It astounds me that you don't know something which is taught to kids in primary school. This is shit I knew when I was 9, 10 years old.
lmao you just confirmed you have no idea what you're talking about
calendars don't represent time, they are time
before calendars and clocks time wasn't even a thing
what does this even mean
It's hard to believe someone can be this dense.
he's trying to pull the whole "haha i was only pretending to be retarded" thing as a way out
I gathered that after he said people invented seasons, after I had explained to him three times the mechanics of how they work from a scientific standpoint. I refuse to believe he's being anything but deliberately obtuse at this point.
I'd think a guy so invested in wanting to do green energy and stop global warming would at least have a basic knowledge of how weather works, what affects it and what it affects.

There's a higher chance that Brits will watch BBC:A, and we MUST take every chance to remind them that the future is American led.
Why would be watching american programs on bbc america which is broadcast in america and not in britain? isn't the whole point to broadcast british shows in the us, hence the topic in the OP?

TDK was good, but not a great Batman film. what makes a good batman film
Being more true to the character. Nolan's Batman was a martial arts novice, a largely incompetent businessman, had no detective skills to be found, and was constantly outwitted by villains.
They're solid movies though; don't get me wrong. Batfleck is a better Batman, for example.
I do wonder how much of Nolan batman's influence on popular perception of the character has influenced how well recieved BvS was, if at all. I know that my parents didn't really care for Batfleck, massively preferring Nolan/ Bale's version, where I thought Batfleck was one of the highlights of that movie.

I think part of the reason I dislike how DC handles their shit is because of how inconsistent it is. At first supergirl was separate from the Flash/Arrowverse, now its a part of it. Then you have to watch arrow or you have no idea whats going on in the Flash, then you have Gotham doing its own thing that apparently isn't part of the same thing and then the DCU which has nothing to do with any of it.
I think the main problem is that the shows were on different networks. Arrow and The Flash are on CW, Supergirl was on CBS, and Gotham is NBC(I think?) so yeah it can confuse some people.
Yeah, over here it just all gets shown on Sky 1 or Sky Atlantic (a channel specifically for American stuff, it also shows stuff like Game of Thrones, though TWD is on Fox).

I really like how Agent Carter, Agents of Shield, Daredevil, Jessica Jones and the other shows in Marvel's case actually tie in with the films and use them for inspiration (Ex. Hydra in Winter Soldier going into AOS) while also keeping the storylines separate from each other (Daredevil doesn't require you to watch The Avengers, for example).
Don't get me wrong, Agents of Shield isn't the greatest show but the way they actually implement everything in the MCU as one continuity is really nice. Feels less disjointed.

And now they added her to The Flash/Arrow universe. My interest in those shows are gone now.
I stopped watching The Flash after S2. I really don't like shows that havelike, 30 episodes in a season.
But I've heard it's the only CW show that is still halfway decent. I know the arrow subreddit is now just a daredevil discussion forum because of how bad arrow got.
Arrow season 1 was alright. I hated the love triangle thing though. It was just "Ugh... why do we have be reminded of this shit all the time." The island parts were really great too.
Arrow season 2 was the shit. I loved just about every episode, especially the last 10 or so. Manu Bennett as Deathstroke was the highlight of the whole season.
Arrow season 3 started off great then got weird fast and really bad afterwards. The whole entire middle part of the season felt like a chore to watch but at least the finale was okay.
The Flash season 1 was better than all seasons of Arrow. It starts off slow, but when it picks up it just keeps going up and up until the last episode which was fantastic. Haven't watched season 2 yet but I need to get around to it.
It's also that american shows seem to have to take a break for a week like, every three weeks and when combined with the amount of crossover episodes (Never watched arrow, mind) it just got really confusing trying to watch the Flash, and I stopped enjoying it becauseI never knew what was going on. Oh and there was also that other CW show that had captain cold in it that I watched the first episodeof. That was just awful, I'm pretty sureit was designed to focus on all of the worst characters of each show or something.
