Heh indeedy. Those idiot Nolan brothers can almost make a whole good film, 75, maybe 80 percent, but then the rest is just shit. I guess The Dark Knight was the closest they've come while anyone was actually paying attention, but even there it was not nearly as good as the hype. Interstellar gets more comically awful the more you hear about it; I'm sure as shit not paying. I will wait till I can see it for free.
Fwiw, Annalee Newitz pretty much gets everything about the ending of 2001 wrong; the ending has nothing to do with any unexplained spiritual phenomena or other such unscientific bullshit. The ending is not straightforward narrative, but it is a representation of interstellar travel and as well as a sort of evolutionary development under the influence of the technology in the monolith. The geeks and dweebs often get shit wrong, but for gods' sakes, don't get it wrong when you are fisking someone like Nolan.
