Louie CK talking about Gravity by Alfonso Cuaron

famous Louie's rant about movie gravity from Opie and Anthony in 2013, just for the fun of it

[@martinlatour9311]

Great Rant. Also, there is a definite market on youtube for O&A clips with visuals added. Most have died out over the years. If you're ever into it.

[@Slick801]

I went outside and kissed the ground after watching this movie 😅

[@matthewcrockett9876]

Despite it's flaws it's still in my top 10 favorite cinema experiences of all time!

[@Studeb]

As I'm sure Louie will testify, making any movie is incredibly hard, but to make one as good as this is even rarer. A fun little rant though. I still prefer the same director's Children of Men, a truly brilliant film, but that's another matter.

[@snowpants2212]

Since she's not symmetric about her center of gravity, I imagine she'd feel herself spinning even if she closed her eyes bro

[@SavoirRare]

I’m 60 and love Louis because if you’re halfway intelligent you totally can’t stand pretense. He just has a huge platform to immediately rip through what he sees as BS in the “current socio-political landscape” despite his own issues. His takes are hilarious because they’re brutally honest.

[@rhys2040]

100% agree with louie 😂 as corny as it is, I still think it's still a decent movie though.

[@FeelingPoyChina]

no it isn't. its like one of those ALI G ideas.. IN SPACE lol

[@novadeaf]

I think there's no point in being so nitpicky with the movie Gravity. It's a movie about grief which uses space as a metaphor for loss and where the whole journey of the main character is nothing but a metaphor of the phases of mourning. So I don't care if it's got some unrealistic stuff in it, that's not my focus.

[@constipatedlecher]

If you're spinning, you DO feel it, even if you close your eyes.

[@sergeymeshkov]

I know:)

[@duytdl]

On Earth you have keep pushing something to spin. The fluid in your inner ear is constantly being pushed as your body accelerates to maintain spinning. But in space once you're given a push that sends you into spinning, you're no longer experiencing any more force to keep you spinning.

[@constipatedlecher]

@@duytdl Nope. If you are spinning, you feel it; the rotation causes fluids in your inner ear to push outwards, which is detected by nerves sending signals to your brain that you are spinning. No external force necessary to give you that sensation.

[@duytdl]

@@constipatedlecher Are you saying once a body is left in motion it will keep experiencing a force?

[@andrewforan7879]

But in space there is no up or down. ​@@constipatedlecher

[@FeelingPoyChina]

this movie would've been way better with 2 random people who are very funny at imitating Sandra and George

[@wc6046]

Reluctant astronaut

[@cameronrobinson3933]

I thought the movie was great, which amplified my disappointment when I found out there are so many things wrong with it and they didn't have to be wrong with it. Just like Louie said about the physics. Or how close they were to the international space station. After I found out how wrong the movie was it bummed me out and never watched it again

[@grandmahurk]

Facts. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss 😂

[@steveb9713]

Amazing movie to see in 3D, great experience, but not a great movie. Worth watching once, maybe in VR these days

[@franciscojuarez399]

where's this from?

[@sergeymeshkov]

Opie and Anthony

[@4Everlast]

Still more realistic then the real thing they claim is up there.

[@cameronrobinson3933]

What is that, out of curiosity?

[@4Everlast]

@@cameronrobinson3933 Moon landing, the way they described and showed it.

[@cameronrobinson3933]

@4Everlast now I assume they didn't land on the moon because the moon is hollow and has an alien life form inside. And that NASA was created just to justify us using alien technology to create things like microwaves and cell phones. But since the Earth is flat they need to use this false space science to convince the world that it is round. And maybe you think Bigfoot came from Mars? I wonder how many crazy things you think that aren't based on any kind of reality but just based on conspiracy theory. Conspiracy theories all have the same features. The main feature being that they're impossible to prove, but since they're impossible to disprove that's used as the number one evidence for why it might be possible. It's impossible to prove that Bigfoot doesn't exist so that means he could. Another feature is you have to believe that any regular scientific or well-known information about a subject has to be false and the only real information is being held either by secret government people or by dudes in their basement that do a lot of research and figure out the truth. And another feature of a conspiracy theory is that theorist themselves will do as little real research as possible because the less you know about something the easier it is to believe mysteries about it. But you'll scoff at me if you even read this, because you know the realy real truth. Well you and Joe Rogan 😁

[@NeilLewis77]

@@4Everlast if the moon landings were fake then how did they get the mirrors up there?

[@4Everlast]

@@NeilLewis77 They were bouncing off signals long before anything got up there IF it did. This is common knowledge man. Now... I'm not claiming nothing can get up there cause amateur astronomers with heavy duty telescopes are SEEING crafts, explosions etc. I'm saying they either can't send anything living beyond the radiation belt OR if they were up there even back then, they sure as hell didn't go in that tin can.

[@perfectionbox]

yeah the physics was stupid, from that point on it was agony to watch the rest of it

[@squanto2]

Jim Norton. WHY?

[@wduggan99]

Having a deceased child disqualifying you from space? Neil armstrong lost his 2 year old daughter to cancer. Louis right about a bunch of things here obviously but that was a wide miss

[@sergeymeshkov]

He did actually, yes. But Neil was steel nerves also. Different breed of humans.

[@wduggan99]

@@sergeymeshkov no doubt. i do think clooney did a great job in portraying the confidence under pressure of an average astronaut

[@sparksdrinker5650]

First, it’s jokes. Second, different scenario if it a woman

[@wduggan99]

​@@sparksdrinker5650 he was being serious and funny. the best comedy is usually a mix I mean he was right about pretty much everything else

Yeah, but the last name of the player on first base REALLY WAS “Who”

[@internziko]

I remember pirating this movie when it came out and i couldn't finish it because it was so stupid.

[@holystone3736]

Ahahaha Louis is drunk af, so sluggish. Being serious and boring, Louis is wrong saying that if you spin in a vacuum you do not feel it.

[@craigrussell3062]

It's not about being in a vacuum, it's about being in zero gravity. If you spin within Earth's atmosphere, your sense of balance goes haywire because where "down" is keeps changing. In space there is no "down"

[@holystone3736]

@@craigrussell3062 but that is not the point of what I'm saying. I'm talking about internal forces. Closing your eyes will do nothing regarding the forces you feel. Vacuum or zero gravity.

[@craigrussell3062]

@@holystone3736 But you would not feel those internal forces in space, because those forces are all caused by the Earth's gravity. In space you wouldn't feel like you were moving it all, it would feel like you were standing still and space was spinning around you. That visual is the only thing that would make you experience dizziness, so if you closed your eyes, you wouldn't feel anything at all.
