FTFY
A positive attitude may not solve every problem, but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort.

You're right - I only watched the film out of curiosity and it added nothing.

The movies was ok. The ending was retarded.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Why did it seem retarded to you ?
And don't worry about spoilers, I vaguely know what happens already.
But hearing the ending and seeing it is completely different for me.

I just watched yesterday as well. Thought it was pretty good overall. The scene where he is going into the black hole reminded me a bit of the similar passage in 2001: A Space Odyssey...

I should definitely watch 2001 again... I saw it when I was around 10 years old and I did not understood much things about it...
I remember some monkeys a stone and a bad computer with a red eye...

I hated it. I just can't be doing with hollywood physics.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Yes, probably the physics involved are not real, but the story itself is good, the actors make a good job... a nice film for me... 
But of course if you don't like the film... almost 3 hours of suffering are enough for at least hating it

I think this level of cruelty should be forbidden... Can you at least get a big package of popcorn, nachos, beer...?

I was looking for some shaving soap in a specialist gen'man's accessory store and I ended up with a new cut throat, strop and badger brush.
I shall shave well tonight!

Make sure to post tomorrow so we know you survived.

No kidding... some people love shaving with straight razors, seem like a risky proposition.

I have got to stop word association in my head, I read that as you got a new todger and were going to enjoy a good strop. Thankfully the badger did not come into it!

We have a DNC (Do Not Call) setup to block unsolicited calls. Similarly why can not law makers bring in something like DNE (Do Not Email). The amount of spam or UCE at times is nerve-racking.

Well, we have a similar thing to DNC in the UK, but...
1) The worst companies ignore it anyway.
2) It doesn't apply to calls from outside the UK.
Hence, I keep a 100dB+ air horn beside the phone...
Legal attempts to block spam emails would work just as well: how many of the ones you receive come from within your own country? Your government can't do anything about ones from outside!
But...Outlook has rules: and one of mine is that it is free to delete anything which arrives from a Russian (.RU, .SU, or .РФ) domain. This reduced the spam by over 50% immediately.

Within continental US, the torturous telemarketers are those Remit2India and Phone Calling Card companies. Despite reporting to FCC and NDNC they do not budge. Looks like sitting across the border, they are literally perpetrating viral wire/wire-free terrorism into the country. Looks like CBP (Customs and Border Protection) should bring a wireless/wire border also for the country and enrol the same under their realm.

Back in India what I have observed is laxity of telephone operators in enforcing disciplinary action on erring telemarketers is a boon for the latter. For example, I had one AGM from BSNL Chennai giving a false message that TRAI amended rules and customer need to find which network operator the call originated from and report the same to that operator themselves. If this is the level of inertia and ethics with network operators, telemarketing folks will find themselves in virtual haven of all sorts.

So if India has laws to regulate DNC which are not being enforced where is the point in bringing in DNE anyway?

Now there's a fine idea.
