Not usually a fan of these tributes, but this one really is exceptional

You mean even better than Inception?
Paramount friend says this is actually better than Interstellar.

Clearly they’re going more for a commercial play with this film but I still think it looks funny and will look forward to seeing it.
Based on this trailer, it might be good for an MTV Movie Award nomination or two. That’s about it.
this is my longshot pick for a BP nom, but the trailer just isn’t working for me in that way. My guess is that the comedy that the five or so Metacritics loved is too complex for a trailer or too edgy. If it continues to get great reviews and then does good BO, I think it has a real shot.
