We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down, and worry about our place in the dirt.

The Science of Interstellar – Black Hole [YouTube Video]
We’ve always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible. And we count these moments. These moments when we dare to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown known. We count these moments as our proudest achievements.
“It’s a childhood dream come true to be able to build ships like this and photograph them. It’s something I have waited my whole life to do.”
—Christopher Nolan, director of Interstellar, talking to USA Today
David Denby on Christopher Nolan’s new movie:
There’s no doubting Nolan’s craft. Throughout “Interstellar,” the camera remains active, pursuing a truck across a cornfield or barrelling through sections of the Endurance. All this buffeting—in particular, the crew’s rough-ride stress—is exciting from moment to moment, but, over all, “Interstellar,” a spectacular, redundant puzzle, a hundred and sixty-seven minutes long, makes you feel virtuous for having sat through it rather than happy that you saw it.
