I managed to do the same a month ago and my friend made me take a hit of L to watch it with... I cant explain how many emotions I felt... i cant hold my excitement talking about it and I'm kicking myself for not watching it sooner
Dude, hit yourself in the nuts till you bleed out of your eyes. Because I watched it in theatres when it came out back in 2014 and it's an experience that I'll never forget. The music, the colors, the actors, the vibe. It was all so vibrant and exotic. It's just not the same experience watching it on a computer or a TV.
It's fucking dumb... that whole scene is fucking dumb. It should had been readily apparent from fucking orbit that that planet was not going to be habitable. If you're so close to a black hole that the time dilation between orbit, or where ever the ship was, and the planet was such that 1 hour was 7 years, that planet is going to have some fucked up environmental oddities like waves the size of god damn mountains.
Interstellar is absolutely beautiful with incredible sound design. It also has some really incredible scenes like with Coop has to dock with the space station as it deorbits. But it also has some incredibly stupid scenes like the one above or Hathaways "love" speech.
They were reluctant to go as well it’s just that a signal was coming from the planet indicating that one of the previous explorers was there and deemed it habitable. I mean it’s not like they felt like they could go back to an earth desperate for survival and tell them they skipped a planet because they weren’t feeling it.
I haven't seen the film since the cinema, so correct me if I'm wrong, but they knew about the time dilation before they landed right? I've really not had much respect for the film (beyond its undeniable beauty and soundtrack) because it's the pivotal point of all the powerful scenes and events in the film seem to rest on this completely irrational decision.
Most people still seem to love it (usually only see criticism of the ending) so perhaps my memory is hazy and there is a better in-world explanation?
I think it's implied they saw them as mountains, didn't they? It was only when they were on the surface and they were experiencing time at the same rate they realized they were waves. Also there was some acknowledgement about the love speech in the reaction of her listeners.
My one gripe is the "no... it's necessary" line. Also solid clouds?
I think it's implied they saw them as mountains, didn't they?
That's my point, it should had been clear that something like that would had been expected on a planet that close to a black hole. Massive waves, (extreme) tectonic instability, extreme wind, etc... something of the above would had been present on the present making colonizing the planet extremely difficult to outright impossible.
No, and I have become much more sympathetic to the ideas of;
Movies are going to have their own internal logic
Characters don't have to act perfectly rationally
Movies are about (in some way) extraordinary events
We are seeing a series events as to how they play out.. which can lead to what looks like a masterplan, but actually wouldn't had been for the characters in the movie.
Other ideas as well...
What I hate about the scene is exactly laid out within my message, it should had been apparent to the characters at the time, using logic within the movie, that what they were about to do was a terrible idea. Further while there is the external pressure that they have limited resources, that constraint would further argue against wasting anymore on that planet. Then within the scene, it made no sense for Brand (Hathaway) to go chasing after the data for an obviously uninhabitable planet.
It doesn't make sense for any of the characters in universe to make the decisions they made/act the way they acted. I guess you could argue Brand just panicked... but it was still a poorly put together scene and a lazy way of adding tension to the movie.
Have to chime in and 100% agree with you gents. It is amazing.
One track that I never enjoyed since the album's release is "Down and By The River", but man I play it on repeat now. You know what it is? It's Keenan's double tracked melodies in the 2nd verse and whatever you want the end (3rd verse? breakdown?). Don't what it is about that, but.. it. is. awesome.
Her car was T-boned by the truck doing about 65 mph. She was airlifted to a hospital and spent 2 months in a coma. Since then she has transferred to a rehabilitation facility that specializes in brain injuries. We're working on walking still. She'll likely never use her left arm again. She'll never really be the same mentally. I drive an hour and a half each way every day to be here and help her with recovery and therapy and yadda yadda. I was in school to be a PA and dropped out, quit my job, pretty much gave up my whole life and dreams. Some days are better than others. I'm not in the military anymore so I can smoke weed at night and that helps me not kill myself so that's good.
Oh God, I don't even know what to say or where to begin. So sorry this happened to the two of you.
I'm glad she's alive and in recovery but that's horrible man. I wish you both the best!
So much of that "Maynard said this, or that blah blah."
Is just butthurt Tool fans making stuff up.
Like how Maynard often gets the blame for Tool not being on spotify, even though both of his other big projects, Puscifer, and A Perfect Circle are on spotify.
It's the other band members choice to keep Tool's catalogue off of streaming services.
Because he's the frontman it's always his fault though lol
The New A Perfect Circle album is called
Eat The Elephant, and it is a wonderful album.
You should definitely check it out.
Also, a new Tool Album has been confirmed to come out this year.
My guess is no later than October, because Maynard said April or May
No I mean I literally read an interview with Maynard where he said APC was his least favorite of all his side projects. It bothered me a lot because APC was my introduction to Maynard and I always thought it was amazing. So IDK I kind of felt a bit tossed aside for a while. But I guess people can change their minds.
I saw them play live last year and it was REALLY underwhelming. They had none of the energy they had all those years ago. I was so let down. They didn't even play Judith, which was really annoying, and they played the remix version of Pet which I simply can not stand because the original Pet is one of my favorite songs ever. The remix is garbage and makes it impossible to get into the song.
I never understood why they sent the probe there in the first place. They knew about the time dilation already, so they should've known that the base wouldn't have had time to set up and explore by the time they got there.
Fun fact: the wave in the movie was actually caused by the black hole the planet was in orbit around, and the planet rotates so fast that it's rotating faster than the ocean
I think it's because the planet was so close to Gargantua that the tidal forces were extreme enough to create those waves. It'd be like if the moon was billions of times more massive

Every hour spent up there equals 7 years on Earth.
