Its actually one of the best things about the movie, you have this dumb umpractical fridge looking robot and think damn that's retarded Nolan you hack and then halfway into the movie shit hits the fan and that fucking fridge looking robot cruises around at 100km and uses his weird geometry to get shit done.

You don't get it. Nolan was ripping off 2001: space odyssey while filming Interstellar, and when it came to robot design he ripped off black monolith. Think about it, obviously this robot is retarded, it makes no sense for him to have such a shape, in reality he would fall on the ground all the time.

It has absolutely no similarities to the monolith other than a single highly superficial one. And that only applies to the film. The book version of the monolith was transparent, which constitutes one of the two similarities Tars and the monolith shared.

Why was he described as paranoid when he was just intensely cynical and depressed? He didn't strike me as paranoid at all in the books.

He felt the whole universe was fucking with him, and at that level of inteliigence everything around him was either painfully daft, annoyingly cheerful and he just couldn't deal. It's a nice rhyme too. We apologise for the inconvenience

>>
>>69333919
That's beside the point. The fact still remains that tars isn't a ripoff of the monolith. A reference to the monolith on a superficial level, sure, but not a ripoff. Call it unoriginal all you want; I agree. Doesn't do much for your argument though.

Why are you so stupid? If you say Avatar is similar to older stories about some hero saving a tribe from extinction it is one thing, if Nolan rips off exact scenes with planet rotating in the window of spaceship, the same spaceship design etc etc the same fucking colors of objects it is another thing. You can make similar story or you can make fucking photographic literal copy for no reason at all other than having no idea what to film.

it was created during the 1800s as a secret code so that soldiers could safely communicate during night time, it was created using a 12-dot-cell system (2 dots wide and 6 dots tall) so that each dot or combination of dots within the cell represented a letter or a phonetic sound
only problem was that it was too elaborate and people couldn't feel all the dots with one touch
Braille improved on the system later on with the 6-dot-cell system,
it wasn't until the 1860s that the system was adopted for the blind so they too could read
