EC, just got back from watching Interstellar. Yes, watching. I did not get the feeling that I was experiencing a film, more like watching a series of attempts to tell a story. Oh, it started out well, but after a few minutes it started to become somewhat forced, the emotion I mean. By the way, that little girl who played McConahey's daughter was the best thing going for this film, even Chastain, who's usually solid, seemed a bit off, but she was better than most. Kudos to the actors who voiced the robots CASE and TARS.

Mackenzie Foy. I enjoyed her in Twilight and The Conjuring. She is a Black Belt, watched her take down Jimmy Fallon before seeing the film. Her performance here reminded me of Elle Fanning in Super8.

LOL! Proof positive --> JSF = Raptard = trollzzzzzzz
Back to real topics: I do plan on seeing Interstellar again in a few weeks. I want to give myself time to forget my first impressions. Then I'll get back to this thread.

How in heck does NOT FINDING A WORD that DOES NOT EXIST equate to finding a definition, understanding, and correcting a spelling of a word that does not exist?
I know, I know, you'll say that I'm digging a hole by pointing out your illogic.

From http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=felgercarb
Felgercarb! A space aged swearword, originally from Battlestar Galactica back in the 70's. I've been saying it since about 1980. I bet we hear it in the new Battlestar Galactica movie.
"Oh Felgercarb! I think another one of those singing cylons is on my 6. No wait, that's Lipps, Inc., singing funkytown!"
From http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Felgercarb_%28TOS%29
(the original series)
Felgercarb is a euphemism for "crap" in the Colonial vernacular. The appeal of the word "felgercarb" would seem to extend across the lines of culture and species, as Lucifer uses the term several times in "The Young Lords."
An alternate spelling is "feldergarb"[1]
From http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Felgercarb_%28RDM%29
(the new series)
Felgercarb is a brand of toothpaste from Tauron. The last remaining tube of it in the known universe is offered as reward by Starbuck to any flight crew that discovers a habitable planet (Someone to Watch Over Me).
-- just so JSFRap's head doesn't explode, as it is wont to do.
From http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/wont?s=t
wont [wawnt, wohnt, wuhnt]
adjective
1.accustomed; used (usually followed by an infinitive): He was wont to rise at dawn.
noun
2.custom; habit; practice: It was her wont to walk three miles before breakfast.
verb (used with object), wont, wont or wonted, wonting.
3.to accustom (a person), as to a thing: That summer wonted me to a lifetime of early rising.

I appreciate your response: on seeing Interstellar again in a few weeks.
I look forward to your 2nd impression. As for me, I got the same feeling I did when I saw Prometheus in the theater, disappointed. Ridley Scott and Nolan you come to expect high caliber, quality material and a film experience. Story, plot, score, cinematography, acting and pacing all contributing effortlessly to take you on the journey - seamlessly.

SPOILERS!!!!
I think of it this way. Kubrick, who is one of the best directors of all time, had his Barry Lyndon (not well received critically or in the box office), and Scott had Prometheus (both Prometheus and Interstellar had questionable scripts), Nolan now has his in Interstellar. He has no one to blame but himself and his brother, both co-script writers.
I would love to ask him about the trip to those planets on the other side of the black hole. Plus we were told about Brand being in love with, I don't remember his name. Does that tell you something? But at the time, I thought is this suppose to influence the trip? What was McConaughey's character's motivation?, to save the world!? Or was it to discover himself? You could almost see the writer's hand in this - "Ok, it's time to feel sorry for Brand" both when Professor Brand died and when we find out that her lover passed.
But there was no set up, which, without, just makes it that much more important to have a tight well written script. The film just lacked that intricately well-written script that serves the story. How can we care about both Brand and Cooper getting together. That ending. Did you think that they were going to end up together? I was, WTF!? To feel emotion, you must create emotion. That's why I was impressed by MacKenzie Foy as Murph, she was the most interesting character in the movie. What was the theme? Not quite sure. Love conquers time and space. Maybe. The bond between father and daughter is special. Another possibility.
But I digress. There just was too much time and too little cohesive story to call this movie a film with heart. Although it tried.
