Re: Interstellar

I watched Interstellar on the four story 70mm IMAX here in Colorado (where the movie is based) on a special screening Tuesday 11/4.

Matthew McConaughey plays two very different characters in Interstellar and Contact. His acting in this is astounding (the video letters).

I keep telling people to go see it and hope it makes a big splash at the Oscars. It deserves it.

Let us all hope that Nolan has a longer cut for Blu-Ray because I would like to spend more time exploring the human condition with his wonderful narrative.

Jammer,

It seems whenever I watch an episode of Trek, I come by here to see what kind of review it's gotten, even if I've read the review many times. Tonight was "Take me out to the Holosuite", which is a very funny episode and probably IMO DS9's best comedy. Yeah I know it was missed placed with the war going on and such, but that's neither here nor there.

What I did want to say was you started this review talking about the Home Run chase with Sosa and McGuire and that kind of made me realize how long ago that happened. This episode was done in 1998, and I was just awed that this episode came out the same year as that chase.

Of course I'm not sure if you're ever going to read this and maybe one of these days you can do a blog post about it, but this was at the height of the Steroid scandal. I wonder if when everything was happening, that soured you, much like everyone else, towards this event or maybe the game as a whole. Also, with the Hall of Fame in a predicament for the next several years, it would be interesting to get your thoughts on it. It just wowed me, though, watching this episode tonight on how long ago that was and where we've come since.
