"Interstellar" - Voted Most-Frequently-Stolen Movie of 2015

Selected by the vote of unrepentant P2P file sharers, "Interstellar" is the movie to steal for 2015 since they (i.e. we) have stolen it more times than any other.

Note:  I don't keep or redistribute them.  I watch them for a while and then chuck 'em.


After seeing the movie for a second time, we're still mystified why anyone downloads this far-flung, mixed-up piece of pseudo-sci fi crap.

The movie resolves when our Starman falls into a wormhole ... or something ... and winds up talking to his daughter when she was twenty-three years younger ... and he does it through a bookcase which is the window between that time and space to hers.  It works because ... love ... or something.

Isaac Asimov will rise out of his grave to strangle whomever wrote this cartoonish 3D lightshow with its Escherian graphics of five dimensions in a 3D space.  Yah ... and all to talk through a bookcase.

Maybe Lewis Carroll wrote it.  But he would have included a Cheshire Cat ... and that would have made sense relative to the rest of it.

As to why watch it a second time, I didn't realize at first I had already seen it ... the film is that forgettable.  After a while I was watching it and thinking maybe I had missed something the first time.

Nope, I didn't.  "Interstellar" is the most overrated pile of cinematic excesses since "Gravity" and that one jacked the standard from "2001:  A Space Odyssey."
