It sort of insinuates itself into your life. If Boyhood wins the Oscar over Interstellar that would be the only film I wouldn't be totally furious about.

Have you seen Interstellar yet? 'Cause If not, then that comment's just stupid

Is it ruder on here to tell somebody to fuck off than it is to tell somebody their comment's stupid?

I doubt it.

What is there to love? It was hardly entertaining and not all that funny. I guess Wes Anderson is just not my cup of tea....

As I said earlier this morning, I'll be seeing Christopher Nolan's Interstellar this evening in IMAX. It's arguably the most anticipated blockbuster of the year and ahead of its release was even considered to be a major Oscar contender in a variety of categories including Best Picture and Director (note the use of the word "was"). Now, before the movie has even screened for all critics (tonight's screening is the first all media across the country), it's already being stepped on and not merely based on its quality as a movie, but in relation to its chances at the Oscars, though it can be hard to tell the difference.

The chirping began back on October 27 when The Hollywood Reporter awards columnist Scott Feinberg, who was predicting Interstellar to win Best Picture and Nolan to win Best Director before seeing the movie, posted an article headlined "Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar' May Not Be the Awards Juggernaut Everyone Expected". After a bunch of hemming and hawing, Feinberg ends things saying "the suspicion that I had a week ago -- that this film might even win -- is now gone."

That article was posted after only New York and Los Angeles critics had seen the film. A few additional screenings have been held since in both NY and LA, but tonight's all media will be the first time the majority of critics lay their eyes on Nolan's new film, a day before it hits select IMAX screens ahead of its Friday, November 7 release, but the negativity continues to swirl.

That is a good article though I disagree about Forrest Gump, one of my favorites and a far better choice than Pulp Fiction. I feel like Interstellar may toe the line between an 'X' choice and a 'Y' choice if it makes the Best Pic lineup. Titanic? This is another interesting article and it's from one of my favorite film sites-

Sounds like Brad and the rest of the media will be seeing the film tonight...
