I remember being fairly drunk and going to see Interstellar at an indy arthouse movie theater that sold you overpriced craft beers. I remember relatively little of the finer points of Interstellar other than the fact that I couldn't stop laughing at how monumentally dumb it was. I have no idea why they even had it so that McConaughey's character had a son that he just basically didn't give a shit about because he wasn't as smart as his dad and sister. He's like "Oh, I miss my daughter Murph so much. Also the other one is probably still alive assuming he never drank any pesticide. What's his name again? Stumpy? Whatever." Also I loved how Matt Damon played a soulless robot better than Bill Irwin, who voiced the actual soulless machines in the movie. God, what a fucking terrible movie.

Same on Interstellar. For a movie that spawned a paper on mathematical realities of black holes and how to render them, and the rather realistic aesthetic, so so many things are brain-dead cliche or just technical enough to be extra wrong. Star Trek is better science, and they do dumb shit all the time.
