Orange is a great color. It’s cheerful and spontaneous and fun and not so popular as to be irrelevant, but prevalent enough that it doesn’t have to go by a ridiculous Crayola name. (If you so choose it as your favorite color — as I encourage you to, if you haven’t got that figured out yet — be prepared to be the only one sticking up for it during awkward icebreaker games.)

‘Interstellar’ overpowers with scope, demands rewatch
Immense hype surrounded Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” in the weeks before its release: critics hailed it as (potentially) the first great space-travel epic since Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Nolan even hired theoretical physicist Kip Thorne as a consultant to make every detail as scientifically accurate as possible.
