re: The official Interstellar thread (spoilers)

Editors make the final call on what gets into the film. A director could have shot the movie to include a particular sequence of events and the editor could leave out said sequence and you have a totally different ending. Let's say that both brothers wrote the wormhole closing and Christopher produced a scene of the wormhole closing but the editor cut that scene. So in the end the editor created a different ending because he thought it played better with audiences. This happens all the time in the production of movies. So the only relevant discussion here pertaining to the wormhole is whether or not it is in the movie.

I have enjoyed your debate on here, but this is gold, Jerry, gold!

Do you actually know anything about film production? Unless the Editor is the Executive Producer/Writer/Director, then he certainly does not have the final say. In the editing room, with all of his asst. editors, he has the final say. He will cut the film as he feels it should be cut, but with the Director approval.

As far as the wormhole, I felt watching the movie that it was open. Reading this thread, I can accept it was closed and that doesn't have to mean the movie is worthless or that Cooper was off to his death

The black and white nature of people is fascinating.
