I 100% agree, because the film spends ridiculously little time with actual characterization. A lot of time with really long "cinematic" shots, though.
I wouldn't so much say "pays tribute" to as arrogantly rips off.... I may have given myself away as a 2001 fan and Nolan very-much-not-fan, though.
Interstellar is just straightforwardly a worse version of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Now I kinda want to know of there's a older, Russian version of that, though.
Out of curiosity, why do you use Ghostery rather than uBlock Origin? It was quite controversial back in the day, but seems to be open source and stuff now. I still don't see any advantage over uBO, though, so I wonder what would move you to use it instead.
You don't even need higher end ear buds for replaceable cables anymore. Moondrop CHU 2 are 20-25 € and come with a replaceable cable. The DSP version comes with a nice usb-c cable.
Just make sure to get them from an official retailer; Chinese stuff like this often sells returns on Amazon, non-specialized retailers, etc. Hifi retailers like linsoul, Hifigo, Shenzhen audio, are the only ones where you'll reliably get a working product. Otherwise the quality is quite good.
My Sennheiser HD600 have been basically indestructible for almost 10 years now. Other headphones have had minor issues, but the wired Sennheiser stuff seems to be incredibly well built. Highly recommend.
Every politian should read this comment. I can't believe the people who control our society are so tech-illiterate... see KOSA in the US :(

I think it's brilliant in a larger artistic aesthetic sense, as an experience, but I fully agree that it should have been an hour longer to really tell the story to completion. I've always treated 2001 more as an audio-visual experience, though, so I don't really mind. The Arthur C. Clarke book exists for a more plot-based experience. But your criticism is totally valid.
