What's on your list, dude?

Cosmos: A Personal Voyage
The Right Stuff
From The Earth To The Moon
CE3K
Contact
Mission To Mars
Solaris
2001: a space odyssey
2010: The Year We Make Contact

....and then all of Nolan's films. And as a brief finale, Le Voyage dans la Lune.

Watched 2001: A Space Odyssey again tonight. Good lord, what a film.

Yeah, a lot of people on here are doing that. I personally am not doing it though.

Me neither. Partly because I'm busy and partly because I want to keep clean slate. Using Avengers trailer to flush memories of first two Interstellar trailers.

Might watch some episodes of Cosmos though.

I've been extremely busy, but I've made time for Nolan whenever I can. I've been doing 2 films a week, starting with Following and going in order of release. I just did The Prestige on Wednesday, and it had actually been a while since I last saw it. Next week I'll do The Dark Knight and Inception. The week after that, it's TDKR and (of course) Interstellar to top it all off. I might try to squeeze in 2001 if I have a chance. I'm enjoying the ride...there's nothing like hype for a Nolan film.

Just did the same last night. That got me even more excited for the space shots.

Wow, I can't believe there's only 11 days left...

10 days if you're seeing it on the 4th. I gotta say, seeing the single digit number pop up in the days slot is kind of surreal.


Also, I just finished watching The Right Stuff. What a great movie. I highly recommend checking it out, and it's very reassuring to know it was such a huge inspiration for Interstellar. I also didn't realize how many famous actors were in it, as I didn't know much about it going in (kinda wish I had that same approach for Interstellar but I'm weak willed). So the tally of movies I've watched recently now includes The Right Stuff, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Memento, and Inception. I didn't really set out to watch them, I've just had an itch for anything Nolan or otherwise related to Interstellar/space movies. Maybe I'll watch Moon next.

It's really nuts when you think how close we actually are...

Next week I am seeing Interstellar.



Good god almighty that feels good to finally say.
