Interstellar

[rhythmaning]

I went to see Interstellar this evening. It was very good. Absolute hokum, of course, and at times overly sentimental (and it worked every time!), but essentially very good.

It looked amazing, and I thought all the leads were particularly good, too. Very impressive.

It was possibly 45 minutes longer than it needed to be, and could easily have been cut without damaging the story (which frankly makes no sense anyhow!) and it has the same flaws that just about any fiction about time has.

Still, I thought it was brilliant. I was somewhat disappointed to emerge from the cinema and discover that I was still in Edinburgh, rather than somewhere in deep space...

If you go into deep space, I promise I will look after Talisker.

And how would you plan to do that, what with allergies and all?!

[widgetfox.livejournal.com]

I would find a way.

In which case, you could find a way now. And have a kitten. Which I'm sure would make you very happy!

Would make me very happy, but wouldn't be Talisker! Ticked tabbies not easy to find. Also, allergies. So I shall wait until your space explorations make cat ownership a moral responsibility that cannot be shirked.

To be honest, I reckon space exploration is unfortunately rather low on the list of things which might deliver Talisker to you!

Unfortunately? Talisker > space exploration.

Unfortunately because I would rather go into space than suffer from any of the many ailments more likely to separate me from Talisker!

Maybe Talisker could go into space.

"Cats in Space". It has a certain ring to it. Though the Russians probably for there first.
