If you hit the 15 second skip button drink every time it lands on Kurt and enjoy being dead from alcohol poisoning an hour in. Jay is the star!

I think Gravity is better, but I did revise my Letterboxed score to 4.5 from 5 the next morning after I had time to let it sink in. Amazing, but not perfect.

The other reason Gravity is better is because Sunshine is only perfect until the third act. I know it’s popular to harp on the movie for (***MINOR SPOILER***) basically turning into an OK slasher flick by the end, but it does happen, and knocks it down a notch for me.

I don’t think Clooney’s character really cared enough about Ryan to talk small talk with her. He was pretty much on temporary babysitting duty and he was more interested in entertaining the people on Earth with his stories. He used the small talk later to calm Ryan and distract her from all the chaos happening around them. It’s a method to get someone to focus.

Worth a re-watch after ‘Gravity’ is ‘Mission to Mars’. While of course not as good a movie, it explores the physics of space really well and the Tim Robbins character goes through a similar scene to George Clooney’s. There’s also some ‘Prometheus’ ideas in that movie as well.

Do it Jay – one thing he seems to love to do is talk. And if he says yes, you pop a few seconds of him into your trailer and you have nerds like me instantly feeling that your doco is validated by ‘the man’. If he tells me, in the trailer, that he’s from the future and that I saw your movie and really enjoyed it, I’d believe him and go fulfil my destiny.

I too was a little bit surprised by this. He’s all over the internet in Memes (especially reddit) and Twitter. It’s almost as if he’s the only Physicist on the planet in terms of internet nerds. He’s succeeded only by Nikola Tesla in the eyes of adoring science nerds aged 18-30.

The really stupid thing about Disney Fast Play on DVD’s is that picking Fast Play actually makes you watch the ads (with the justification that after the ads, the movie auto starts and bypasses the main menu screen, hence “faster”) . You have to opt out of Fast Play to skip directly to the Main Menu.

Was his name actually mentioned in the discussion? At one point I was considering approaching him to be in my time machine doc but I assumed he’s too busy.

Haha, aww, I’m not disgusted. More so amazed that my nerdiness has gone to the next level… :X

Yeah someone on Twitter seemed disgusted that we hadn’t heard of him either. I do remember that Titanic thing but I didn’t know his name.
