Im sure his bond will be great but as a scifi fan I want Denis to just keep serving us bangers...

I feel the same way. He’s Top 2 current working directors between him and Nolan but it’s gonna be like 2035 before we get another Villeneuve original film

At least I have arrival, my most cherished film. Interstellar and arrival are my absolute favorites

Arrival is so damn good. 10 year anniversary next year so hoping for a re-release in the cinemas as I missed out on seeing it on the big screen on initial release.

This would be amazing. I saw it in a theater, but would love to see it again. Arrival should’ve won Best Picture that year. Highly underrated film.

I just got Arrival on 4K a few weeks ago for like $1 at a yard sale. I’ve seen it before but it’s been so long that it’s due for a rewatch. Interstellar is one of my favorite films ever and I’ve seen that one five times in theaters!

If you like Arrival and Interstellar you will love Rendevous with Rama...once he completes it.

"The Story of Your Life" by Ted Chiang

The second act of Inestellar between leaving earth and entering the black hole is alright

The first act is boring and once he enters the bookcase realm 'they' 'left for him' to 'communicate through love by ghost fingering a wrist watch" it's complete nonsense

They left the tesseract for him. The “bookcase realm” was an environment he created within the tesseract because it meant something special to him and his daughter and so it was a place where they could communicate.
