Saw this the other day. Wow. I'm no fan of Sandra Bullock. I accept there were enormous suspensions of disbelief required, and some plain silliness (Mission Commander Matt Kowoski zooming through the void in his jetpack on random arcs through the sheer joy of zooming, when everyone knows NASA controls every single minute thing in a space walk: waves of debris each at 90 minute intervals...?: Sandra Bullock's character ignoring the physics of ballstics with an air tank: a Chinese space platform?!). But what a great movie. Extremely suspenseful. Awesome cinematography. The focus on the desire to live. and if you have seen it, here is a 60 second animated version of it, with a superabuandance of spoilers: sploid.gizmodo.com/watch-all-of-gravity-animated-to-60-hilarious-seconds-1520279012 |

I liked when Tina Fey said that the movie was George Clooney deciding he'd rather float off into space than spend time with a woman his own age.

Heh.
Clooney pretty much plays Clooney in this. His last words are, "My God, the sun sparkling off the Ganges..." You wanker. You're almost out of air! You're dead! Who gives a fuck about a shiny body of water in the Indian subcontinent which you never actually visited because you're a rich astronaut from a first world country, when you're almost dead from CO2 poisoning? Stop being the Dalai Lama you tosser! Why isn't your character saying, "Please tell my family I love them and will always miss them!" instead of letting the vegan diet you slurp from the chiselled buttock clefts of super models permeate your acting?

Dave, you need to stop listening to rap music. It's making you really angry.

All the Superstars just seem to play themselves these days. Actor and movie star have come to mean two very different things.

An acute observation, sir. When Tom Cruise (rarely) plays someone other than Tom Cruise (Interview with the Vampire, Tropic Thunder) people pay attention and seemed shocked that he can actually act.

Michelle Rodriguez is also typecast in the role of Michelle Rodriguez. = angry Hispanic chick? Yeah. Oh well. She could instead be Jennifer Lopez = impoverished romantic Latino chick. It was Jessica Alba who said despairingly that she was never offered roles which are offered to Kate Winslet. I guess making millions of dollars out of your shapely bottom isn't professionally satisfying. I wouldn't know.

females can get away with that crap somehow. if jason statham asked why he wasn't getting daniel day lewis parts, he'd be a laughing stock. and the comparison is totally apt

I'd watch Jason Statham doing the "I drink your milkshake" bit.
