Whatcha watching?

Generally, movies like this are too "out there" for me (e.g., "Inception"). But I loved this one. I just now realized they're both Christopher Nolan movies.
Inception is one will watch sometime in the near future. In some respects, Interstellar reminded me of how I felt about 2001 A Space Odyssey when I saw it in the theater back in the late '60s.

An acoustic trio went table to table playing Johnny Cash tunes.

I've eaten there a few times when I lived in West TX. Good food, but the Texas cowboy schtick is a bit much for this Yankee.

I've always thought music would be the best way to communicate with someone from another galaxy. God forbid they see most of the other stuff on youtube, we look like the Waffle House of the universe.;):)

The aliens call YouTube "Stupid $#!t humans do". It's thier number one entertainment channel. :laugh:

After seeing Three Body Problem and now reading the books, I have a genuine concern about us broadcasting any kind of signal into deep space.
 
This was a very weird/interesting/unusual movie we watched tonight. I'll have to watch it again to make some more sense of some things.
I liked the one scene when they were on the world with the shallow sea. "Those aren't mountains...". The stuff of nightmares LOL



Kinda reminds me of me old sailin' days...just without a singular mountainous wave LOL. Here's a recording from the Bridge of the USS Monterey in the Mediterranean. This was our first month out for a 6 month deployment. If the camera's clock is correct, I was getting off-shift at 7am and would be heading down to the the mess deck for breakfast. It's fun keeping your food tray, plates, drinks, condiments on the table LOL. FWIW, this wasn't too bad. North Atlantic transits were worse.



Looking forward to The Boys! And Outer Range (season 2).

Key plot point in Carl Sagan's "Contact" from the 80's; that Hitler's commencement speech at the 1936 was the first television broadcast strong enough to escape the atmosphere and thus travel freely through space - and then all the broadcast stuff that followed later.

Ha! About 10 years ago, I bought the complete Twilight Light Zone box set 1959-1964. I started watching it backward by starting at the last disc and towards #1. I got through disc 4 and stopped watching. That was 6 years ago. So now, I started watching again and this time I want to view the remainder. Discs 1 to 3.

The DVDs are nice because there are no commercials and each episode is about 20 mins long.

Anyway, it's what I've been watching lately. I watch a couple of episodes right before bedtime.

After watching the Netflix version of Three Body Problem and reading the books (I'm into the third of the series), I started the Chinese adaption tonight. Thirty episodes to cover the same ground, so it's a slow burn. From what I've read it stays close to the book and develops the characters and background science better than Netflix. The production quality is not up to Western standards, but not terrible.

We took Inception out from the library today; yeah, that one was truly bizarre.

To keep with Christopher Nolan films, we also took out Tenet which we will watch sometime this week.

I really like Inception a lot. My favorite Nolan film, though, and it's probably his hardest to follow (though I haven't seen Tenet) is Memento. Great movie and an excellent performance by Guy Pearce.
