First Look at The Dog Stars 🐕—Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin & Margaret Qualley in the upcoming adaptation of Peter Heller's book.

I went to see Interstellar at the Royal Albert Hall last weekend, with a live score by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and the original soundtrack organist Roger Sayer. It was a profoundly emotional experience, which I've written about here.
welcome home, all the astronauts are safely out of the capsule, all that remains is to administer that test where they heat up a piece of wire and poke each person’s blood in a dish to see if any of them are infected by an alien species
