I'm thinking the film could have shaved off a few minutes. Where I don't know.

@20, not bad :-)

OK, Melancholia's back on even though it only has 3.2 stars I see.

Melancholia is just a less creepy rip-off of Hellstar Remina in my book.

This is going to happen to earth some day.

One thing the article said was that the temp of the object was 806 degrees Fahrenheit (430 degrees Celsius), and yet they think it is not a brown dwarf (which would have low-level fusion reactions). Any idea what would make a rogue planet so hot?

Totally right! Melancholia was so deep and full of metaphor!

"Oh, the planet Melancholia is getting closer, I better act more melancholic! But you were already melancholic so you should be more acclimated to Melancholia."

Jesus, what a dumb shit, pretentious film.

It never ceases to amaze me that people will publicly gloat about missing the point for the entire two-hour duration of a film.

This is not the marker of intellectual acumen that you seem to believe it to be.

Charles, I usually like your writing - but Jesus, Melancolia was one of the dumbest (from a science perspective) movies ever made. It's up there with that one about miners restarting the earth and the other one about throwing nukes at the sun to get it going again.
